ULTIMATE F-150 - PART 6: FINISHING THE FRONT AND LAYING STRIPES

摘要

F-150 is a project to push boundaries from our other projects over the years. We started with an '11 Ford F-150 with the new EcoBoost V-6, a groundbreaking twin-turbo, direct-injection engine designed for power and mileage. The truck was taken to Randy Ellis Design, where the body was armored and the suspension overhauled to better control the 40-inch Nitto Mud Grapplers over whatever extreme trails our Ultimate Adventure troop may encounter. Our biggest challenge was to build an independent front suspension (IFS) that would be strong enough to withstand the rocks, ruts, and roads of the UA while leading the 20-some 4×4s filled with readers, sponsors, and cronies for a week.
