Pity7700 Build thread, why not? pic heavy!

rus has a trailmaster. i contacted rough country to see what they say about it.

 

the lift is still down the road a little ways. this week/weekend im getting a new radiator and my buddy and i are going to rhino line my bed so thats protected and taken care of.

gotta order a can of por-15 to finish the underbody and the floor boards on the inside. only the drivers side looks like ****.

 

alright so rough country got back to me. he said that the suspension components are set up differently on the 7 luggers than the stock f150s.

 

well that sucks, what happened to the radiator?

 

yea it does suck man.

radiator is leaking just aboove the upper house. seams like the metal housing split/cracked. should have a new one in a day or two.

for now ill keep a couple gallons of water in the truck.

 

Sucks about the radiator. Easy fix though. What are you gonna do about a lift? I couldve sworn I've seen a 98 f250 LD with a RCX...

I did too but im wondering what ill-effects its going to have. I don't know what im going to do lol.

 

bought a bed armor bed kit today for $70. just about finished. this stuff isn't as easy to apply as the box says lol. ill do another coat if I get off work early this week. I used about half the gallon, maybe less.

I ran that scuff pad that is included in the kit around the whole bed, just hope it scuffs enough for the liner to adhere too.

was going to do the radiator today but long story short, after buying two new but damaged radiators and returning them I wont be able to fix it till next weekend.

 

You still going to be able to get the bed bolts out ok when you take off the body lift? I was always wondering if something like line-x would make the bolts freeze up because the stuff is so rugged.

ehhh they should come right out. i was goign to take the bolts out before i did it but i got lazy lol

i may not be taking the body lift off. still gotta figure out why exactly they say the RCX wont fit on the 7700 trucks.
