- My brother and I decided to take a dirt bike trail in a 1-ton truck and see how it went. Turned out to be a pretty mild trail but that didn't make it any less fun! If you guys have any questions leave them in the comments and I'll get back to you asap.

Dam he really just idled his way through the entire thing...
Respect to that truck
Got to love the old ford frame flex
Its cracked somewhere lol
The frame is an underrated part of the suspension
I really enjoy seeing the big dogs on the trails, doing it right. Nice video.
I think that's the first time I've seen one of these trucks dangle a tire in the air. Respect for not abusing the truck (or the wilderness) and taking it slow.
this is some fantastic OBS powerstroke footage!
Your truck has the perfect amount of clearance, use that engine! Send It!
That's the beauty of wheeling a diesel. You can idle over most obstacles because it has all that torque down low. The only time I have to get on it is for steep sand hills really.
Truck is sick my dude
After this Video I'm looking into an OBS love that truck.. Great Video and Happy New Year 2022🍻
Got same style truck but not close to the flex you’re getting. Change the body mounts to Poly, especially the Rear Cab they’re super spongy as they age and remove the Overload rear spring fonts contacting to early and you’ll be amazed at how much less flex will occur.
Beautiful truck. Very relaxing video.
It's so nice seeing another manual 7.3 of the same generation off-roading, was it a little difficult getting used to stick in the truck while off-roading? I know It was a pain in the ass for me for like the first 30 minutes but then I got used to it right away
BrokeBoys Garage not really because my first vehicle I ever owned was a 3 speed cj5 so I had that down from the get go haha. The 7.3 is a lot easier to drive than that Jeep was that's for sure.
I already had it figured out by the time I got this truck. My very first vehicle was a 1973 Jeep CJ5 and that was a three-speed manual. I wheeled that thing all over the place haha. What's nice about the 7.3 is that it doesn't stall as easy as that jeep did.
Just fantastic.
Loving the obs. Are you still running sway bars?
therealshanequa in this video the sway bars were still on. I have since removed them.
I f you look you will see the sway bar links front and rear.
Question, I have the same truck, manual, but it's a 250 extended cab and I'm assuming you use 4low? Do you use the granny gear or 2nd?
BrokeBoys Garage I only use 4lo and it just depends on what I'm doing. When I need to crawl over things really slow I use first and when I don't I'm usually in second or third, sometimes fourth. If it's a really steep sandy hill I'll usually use 3rd to climb it.
What are you running in your front and rear diffs? Do you have lockers front and rear or locker rear and limited slip front?
Front has a full spool in it and the rear has a Detroit locker.
Dillon Wenk so basically the front its free (open diff) and on the back you've diff locker?
No, the front is locked 100% of the time and the rear is locked most of the time except for turns. A full spool just a chunk of steel that locks both sides of the axle together and a detroit locker has clutches so it can unlock when it's not under load.
@@460FordBronco79 good info thanks for incresing my overall smarts
@@460FordBronco79 Is the stock setup just open diffs front and rear?
Eso es nuevo mexico solo sin gente sin trabajos pura soledad ni quien lo encuentre a uno!!😜
Jorge Ortega ai yai yai
Cfass1 en las noches miro el cielo no pasa ni un solo ovni ni marciano alguno y los chinos uno arriba de otros 😭
I almost fell asleep because it was too easy.
Nice truck! Seeing what kind of lift you got on this beast and tires size? How does it ride? I just bought a 1996 f250 4x4 5spd
David P12 It's a 6" lift with 37x13.50r18 and it rides smoother than factory but I think that's because of the tires for sure. It will be a little different if you go the same route on yours since you don't have the solid front axle.
I was going to do a RSK with super duty springs up front and SD springs in the back
That's a solid plan, I've heard those super duty springs ride a lot better because they are a little longer. I'm not a fan of RSK's though, I don't like how they make the front end look. The 3" ones aren't bad but the 5" ones look terrible even with a big bumper.
Dillon Wenk doesn't a 1996 F250 have a solid front axle?
Andrew, no a F250 of that generation will have a TTB.
Hey man, I was looking to get one of these trucks. But I was wondering what you think about how much power it makes and if you have done any engine mods to give it a lil more power. Thanks
Matt Bradley they make enough power to do whatever you want with it really. I mean the factory 215hp and 400 something torque isn't impressive by today's standards but it does great. Currently I've added a cold air intake, 3" downpipe, ts6 position chip, and an intercooler and it's really woke the truck up. I plan on doing a turbo sometime soon and eventually fuel system/ hpop so I can do injectors.
Honestly, for what I do it has plenty of power. I honestly wouldn't mind more when I'm driving it on the pavement though. Right now it has an intake, 3" downpipe to custom side pipe, cx racing intercooler, a turbo that's comparable to a Bean's Diesel D66 setup, and a ts 6 position chip with the tunes it comes with. I'll probably end up adding 180cc stock nozzle injectors and custom tunes at some point just so I have a little more juice on the pavement but other than that I'm happy with it.
Silly question.... where did you get your hood bug deflector?
It's not a silly question man. I ordered it through a shop my roommate used to work at. I can't for the life of me remember what brand it is. If I remember I'll drop another comment.
What is the wheelbase and underbody clearance (between the wheels from the ground to frame) on this truck?
Nicks Customs wheelbase is 168.4" I'm not sure about from the ground to the frame though, I would have to measure it. It has a 6" lift and it's on 37's if that helps put things into perspective.
***** It does thanks. Thats a long beast lol
Nicks Customs no doubt about that! The only thing that stops this off-road is tight turns and sharp hill tops lol
what kind of bumpers are those mainly the front where can I find one
Alfredo Salazar I get that question all the time and I have no idea. It doesn't have a company name on it anywhere. I traded my factory bumper straight across for it.
what is the exact lift kit on yours???
wwjdist it’s a 6” kit from Skyjacker
is this in new mexico?
mike dinkel it sure is. Right out behind metro detention center
brand of wheels and size /tires etc?
Method NV 18x9 Toyo Open Country M/T 37x13.50r18
What year truck is this?
Tyler Southall it’s a 1995
