  • Big ole F-250

    02 Ford F-250 with 18" suspension lift and 46" tires.

    This one belongs to a buddy of mine. He's heading for the dunes this weekend and wanted a clean ride to roll in.

    Process:
    -Gold Class bath
    -Megs blue clay w/ ONR clay lube
    -Flex 3401(speed 6) w/ yellow 2.0 pad and M105(mostly one pass)
    -M26

    The whole truck was moderately swirled. Here's the only attempt i took at capturing defects.:

    Big ole exhaust:


    Gold Class Trim Detailer:

    half & half


    Tires and wells got Hyperdressing 1:1

    I love driving in this thing, but i sure wouldn't want to own one. Wayyyy too much maintenance.

    Thanks for viewing.

    What's up with the discolored tire around the front passenger rim?

    That thing is a monster!

        I was wondering the exact same thing.

        A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

          It's paint. Previous owner of the tires had spraypainted the rim without covering the tire at all.

            Looks great! What's that thing get....about 40 MPG?
            There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

                  Looks great. I use to detail a friends F 250. Was not lifted. It was huge. This one is a monster. Way to go.

                        Nice job!

                        I was thinking it had the 5.4L V8 when I first saw it but those pics of the exhaust and the badge on the passenger side are confirming that there is a 7.3L Powerstroke lurking under the hood. I love the 7.3. Ford made a mistake going to the 6.0 but the new 6.7 looks pretty sweet!

                        Great to see that your friend is actually using a truck for what it's supposed to be used for... FUN!!!!
