Selecting and Building The Perfect Prerunner - Four Wheeler Network
We are going to take a stock ’14 Ford F-150 pickup truck and turn it into a simple prerunner. The vehicle is going to remain street legal for use as a daily driver, while adding the functionality of being able to drive it through the desert and access race courses and other desert trails. We will feature a six-part build on the truck in upcoming issues of DS+OR magazine. The feature series will showcase the entire process from removal of stock parts to installation of the aftermarket parts. We are planning on adding a suspension package, shocks, lift kit, and, of course, wheels and tires that are worthy of running through the desert. We will add a lighting package allowing us to light up the desert and see in the dark of night. Finally, we will make modifications to the body, upgrading the overall functionality and look of the truck. We want to make it comfortable to drive both on the street as a daily driver as well as in the desert. The first question to ask yourself when you are looking at buying or building a prerunner is how much do you want to spend and what can you afford. A fully built “luxury” prerunner can run almost half a million dollars while just adding some aftermarket parts to a truck you may already own will cost maybe a few thousand dollars. Are you going to buy parts and do the install yourself. Source: www.fourwheeler.com
