I love how simple this truck is. I was expecting some crazy engine with crazy suspension, but it seems like a fairly affordable and simple build.

Exactly my brother you get it brother, nowadays I see so much cash throw into trucks and most looks like “destroyed a classic truck “ but this thing looks brilliant and it does phenomenally what it’s supposed to ....”have lots of fun with it “

A vehicle that can make a grown man laugh and giggle that much, must be one hell of a fun time.

I shot that truck for Off-Road Magazine a few years back. Good to see it's still alive and well!

I am a photographer as well and my dad and I jointly have the same truck would love to find the copy you shot for of the magazine and show him this youtube video and the magazine to see what he thought. Though we could never afford to do all the modifications that have been done here (ours is pretty much stock) it's fun to look to it for inspiration.

Finally not another LS swap. Boys in the middle east know how to do it.

It's not that I'm stupid is I hear a lot of people used the word retro so I was confuse 72Disco1998

Really showcases just how good the 302W is. It is a natural lover of high revs. Surprising that they used it in such a heavy unit too. Would love to see this RED SCORPION in 4x4 though.

Nothing sounds better than a Ford engine with the right exhaust.

That's what a pre runner should be, classy,bad ass, I love how reto it is. Rocking the legendary ford twin I-beams, the body is basicly un touched it's beautiful. I'd love to build one of my own.

Finally some offroad! Now if we could get Mike in one of our cars and see how he enjoys it.

Best video ever guys! Look at that suspension, very cool. Love the way he let you drive it with no questions, or instructions! 'Like driving a half-empty waterbed' lol.

Big Muscle with MIke, and Roadkill with Frieburger and Finn are my my 2 favorite shows. Mike,I just went and rewatched your vid about your Charger (which is absolutly drop dead gorgeous), and let me say, from car guys (and gals) all over, thank you for getting out the finacial scene and bringing your down to earth presenting style and great show to us. You will always have followers and fans as long as you keep your recipe simple like it has been, nice, honest, down to earth, and the most important part, genuine. I hope Big muscle stays around for a long time. great show, Great presenter.

That pickup is sweet af

I can remember riding in the back of my dads old truck just like this, of course it was a little more beat up. Had a shop made front bumper with a winch. We would go on this road called Yellow Dog Road that would always flood a foot or two deep for about quarter mile when the Mississippi River backwaters came in western KY. This video brings back good memories.

I'd take that beautiful truck over and lambo or super car any day

man, this desert/ford truck combo, seems like a rollercoaster!

I want to give this khaled guy a medal just for being awesome

I'm glad other countries enjoy classic American cars just as much as we do. it also seems like sand truck makes more sense in that area.

I'm convinced those KM2's are the best all around tire you can use! I love mine!!

I love how the fenders guards are stock ❤❤❤

I think it's awesome that American cars are getting out more in the world, and that foreign vehicle enthusiasts are starting to appreciate American made vehicles. Japan is known for their tuners and good street racers, Europe for their luxury cars that pack power plus finesse, and for their legendary exotics. America is rather divergent from the rest in the sense that American cars and trucks pack raw power in a big, heavy package which is more fun to throw around than to just be a fine-tuned precision instrument. American vehicles are different, but they're still beautiful in their own unique way.

I'm glad people like this exist. Unlimited funds and loves to share a great experience.

Best episode yet. That kicks ass.

hahaha, fantastic. Been looking forward to this all week long!

Big Muscle, best show on /Drive by far! Tnx!

awesome seeing an off road vehicle for a change. Be really cool to see some huge mud bog trucks that have some serious power.

you learned the hard way that the back side of those red dunes are soft as cotton!

Awesome episode! Amazing truck!

I was laughing along with you for the entire video haha looks like a blast!

hahaha that f100 is bad ass....looks like great fun...mike you r one lucky guy dude

major inspiration for my build! I need money!! haha

Honestly, that was beautiful.

this looks like crazy fun!

Big muscle was a really good show, I do miss it.

nice!!!! beautiful sloppy f- series! twin beam action!!!!👍👍

Beautiful bad ass Ford

Looks like a lot of fun.

i was hoping you guys would bring this truck on your show man is it cool. great job /Drive.

That was epic ! I hope to see /Big Muscle in Europe ...

Awesome! Those old Ford's are the Best!

So glad that BM is free to watch again - THE BEST! Top Gear, other car shows bla bla bla... (raspberry!) BIG MUSCLE! Thanks Mike and crew!

veryyyyy good truck , exactly like i need !!!! cheers

Pretty much put a trophy truck under it, *the idea was to be able to be the dukes of hazard while keeping the body intact...and I succeed ;D. It's my fun-mobile.*

never had a full size four wheel drive have had some badass limited-slip 2-wheel drive full-size trucks this is really neat

Video is good. Audio and visuals are on point!

Industrial heavy-dutied blowing giddy-up! Nice vid, even nicer big ass Ford! Whoo Hoo!

Glad to see you enjoyed driving a Prerunner!! After building mine, I can't go back to a normal car. Come out to glamis if you ever have the chance.

I knew you were almost going to flip it

Mike, I love your videos!

ttb works awesome with extended radius arms. I ran that way for a while. then switched to cage off Rd radius arm solid Axle swap kit. now called bloody knuckle garage. excellent stuff really tough.

That truck is so cool

Such a gnarly truck! I have a 94 bronco and I wish I could get it to destroy hills like this!

trucks a beast

This was so awesome. The only tiny thing that would make that truck cooler was if it was a double grill. But that's just me. Man oh man do I want a pair of mid 70's double grill F-100s one to do up exactly like for off road that and one just as capable on a racetrack. I would trade my Sonett III for a pair of '76 100s!!

I believe that truck was on craigslist in the Hesperia Ca area ?? For like 10kish about 5-6 years ago. I remember considering it as a build candidate. Glad its getting used righteously.

If you know about the f100 or any truck with I beam suspension you are a true car enthusiast. Solid axel and a arms have their place but that I beam suspension is just so damn durable and tough. Put it behind some American V8 muscle. This is a true drivers car. Nothing but fun.

Big muscle Dubai. I can't wait for big muscle Japan.
