  • Out back sits a Sandy Cone-built 9-inch rear end that's been trussed across the back for extra rigidity and strength in the housing. It has full-floating hubs, disc brakes, a spool and 4.56 gears. Deaver leaf packs support the rear of the truck while 16-inch-stroke King 2.5 external bypass shocks absorb the rough roads. Full 4-inch-stroke King 2.5 hydraulic bumpstops adorn the frame over the rear axle.

This truck introduces itself as a prerunner. Glassworks fenders cover the BFG Baja T/As and a Central Coast Prerunners (CCP) front bumper follows the front end closely and gives just enough protection to prevent the bodywork from being crushed. Three Hella 4000 lights with HID conversion kits sit on the front bar. Camburg extended I-beams were added to a CCP strut frame. CCP added 4.5-inch spacers to the stock steering linkage to account for the 4.5-inch-wider-per-side track width. King 2.5 14-inch-stroke coilovers with dual-rate coils suspend the front end. Camburg radius arms pivot on 1.25-inch Heim joints off of bolt-on frame mounts. King 2.5 shorty 2.5-inch-stroke hydraulic bumpstops stop any harsh hits. The King 2.5 shorty bumpstops don't have the long body of a normal 4-inch stroke 2.5 bumpstop, and can be installed in much tighter spaces. You can also see the solid aluminum body mounts that replaced the rubber when the tip-to-tip rollcage was installed. CCP built skidplates and guards to protect the vitals under the truck.

Central Coast Prerunners built this very trick spare tire carrier to quickly release and provide access not only to the spare but also the aluminum jack underneath. 1010or 09 +1995 ford f150 2wd+spare tire carrier A 42-gallon fuel cell is placed as far towards the cab as possible to keep weight centered in the vehicle. The Optima Red Top battery was squeezed right next to it as well. CCP did the 'cage work using 1.75-inch 0.120-wall tubing, and placed a custom box with two red and one amber LED lights to be visible to tailing drivers in dusty conditions. CCP designed the rollcage to protect in a nasty accident, but still be easily accessible to entry and exit of the vehicle since this is a prerunner. CCP also made a bracket to hold the breaker bar and socket for removing the wheel lugs. Mastercraft Baja RS seats with Crow Enterprizes four-point harnesses hold occupants in place while prerunning for races. Under the hood, Central Coast Prerunners fabbed up a crossmember over the engine to better brace the frame where the coilovers' force is applied. Check out the custom aluminum air intake built to meet the mostly-stock Ford V-8 engine. Central Coast Prerunners built a custom center floor console to ride on the transmission tunnel. It holds all the auxiliary switches for the truck and a race radio. CCP even included three cupholders. Walker Evans beadlock wheels are wrapped with 35x12.50R15 BFG Baja T/As. The full-floating Cone hubs retain the 5x5.5 wheel bolt pattern.
