The rig sports Fab Fours bumpers front and rear. The front bumper holds three Soltek 8-inch lights and a set of Hella lights, while the rear bumper holds a pair of Baja Designs Fuego lights. Both bumpers sport a pair of D-rings and the front bumper holds a Warn 16.5 winch. Other exterior mods include a Keystone fiberglass Heat Extractor Good Hood and a set of Bushwacker Cut Out fender flares over heavily modified fender openings. The big SD rolls on 46x19.5-20 Mickey Thompson Baja Claws mounted on 20x12 Dick Cepek DC-1 aluminum wheels.
"Four wheeling has been a part of my life ever since I can remember," says David Anderson, 45, of Hebron, Kentucky. He's not exaggerating. By the time he was 14, Anderson had already accumulated 38 First-place trophies earned in various off-highway racing competitions. Over the years he has also built numerous rigs, and his truck building continues today. This '01 Ford Super Duty F-350 you see here is his latest creation. Initially he purchased the truck to haul building supplies as he constructed a new house. "I bought an '01 F-150 to use in building our new home, but when I tried to put a pallet of bricks in the bed and found that the 1/2-ton wouldn't handle the load, I knew the truck wasn't for me," Anderson notes. So he traded it in on this F-350. After the home construction was completed, Anderson went to work on a new construction project, the F-350, and you can see the result. Anderson is quick to point out that even though the truck looks show-quality, it's used daily and never trailered. He says that in addition to towing a boat and hauling dirt bikes, it's routinely used to haul family members to work in snowy weather and it has even been used to rescue postal and local sheriff's department vehicles from deep snow.

Anderson tried four different suspension systems before ultimately settling on the One Up Offroad (OUO) 600 Series system. The system eliminated the factory front leaf-spring suspension and replaced it with an ultra-functional three-link suspension with 16 inches of travel. Anderson's rig now features Sway-A-Way 2.5-inch-diameter piggyback coilover shocks, a new track bar and bracket, and a dropped pitman arm among the many other standard components included with the kit. The steering was beefed with an OUO high-steer knuckle, a heavy-duty drag link, and a dual ram-assist truss with a pair of Nowack 8-inch hydraulic cylinders. The front axle is a Dynatrac high-pinion Dana 60 with 35-spline axleshafts and a Detroit Truetrac. The brakes have been upgraded with Off Road Unlimited slotted rotors, Hawk Performance pads, and Crown Performance braided stainless steel brake lines. | 
The rear of the Super Duty utilizes 12-inch-lift Valley Spring Service leaf springs, Sway-A-Way 2.5-inch Racerunner piggyback shocks, chromoly radius arms and joints, and 10-inch-lift dual-bar traction blocks. The rear axle is the stock Ford 10.5-inch that has been fitted with a Detroit Locker, Off Road Unlimited slotted rotors, Hawk Performance pads, and Crown Performance stainless steel brake lines. | 
The 6.8L V-10's output has been enhanced to an estimated 370 hp with a custom-ground Comp Cams camshaft, BBK custom throttle body, Borla headers and 3.5-inch exhaust system, and Magnaflow mufflers. Other underhood mods include a Wrangler Northwest Power Products 200-amp alternator and Battery Management System and a pair of Optima Yellow-Top batteries. |
An OUO Crossmember Cradle System locates a Profab Quick Change transfer case that is mated to the factory transfer case. This setup lowers the output flanges by 12 inches to help eliminate gnarly driveshaft angles created by the suspension lift. The cradle also serves as the mounting point for the front radius arms and the rear traction bars. Speaking of driveshafts, the Super Duty has a pair of custom Drive Line Tech 'shafts with 1480 joints. With the Profab 1.545:1 case and the stock 3.73:1 axle gears, Anderson says the truck has a final drive ratio of 5.76:1. He says the truck cruises comfortably at 65 mph with the engine turning 2,400 rpm in Overdrive. Thanks to the Quick Change case he can rapidly change the final drive ratio of the rig if he wishes. | 
The Fab Fours rear bumper provides a pair of D-rings and a pair of integrated steps. The rear bumper also holds a pair of Baja Designs Fuego lights. | 
The interior features a set of Corbeau racing seats, a Billet Accessories Direct steering wheel, a custom console (for subwoofers and audio electronics), Auto Meter A-pillar gauges, 7- and 10.5-inch video monitors, custom headliner and carpet, and a monster Alpine sound system. |
In the bed there's a custom diamond-plate hard-mount toolbox and a spare wheel and tire mounted on a Warrior mount. | | |
