Hey man I have a 95 f150 xlt extended cab short bed 4x4 5.8l. I have the dual shock single spring set up like you and looking to upgrade to fox shocks. You said you got them from accutune, I was interested so I went in the website and contacted them about getting some fox shocks for my truck. They stated fox doesn’t make shocks for our year but yet you have them on your truck. Looking for the same shock set up as you but with 4 smoothies in the front as I do have dual shocks and not one like yours, then 2 reservoir shocks in the rear. Any help would be appreciated as accutune didn’t really elaborate with me. Thank uou

Dana 60 rear end with 5 lug hubs? Mind sharing details on that?
@MisfitOBS2 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! It's a semi-float Dana 60 out of a 1999 Van E-250. The Semi float gives you the flexibility of lots of different axle shaft options. Semi-float rear ends are great options for jeeps, bronco's and half-ton trucks so you don't have to buy a completely new set of rims or swap out your front axle to match the 8 lug variants. Some people will argue the the full-floats are far superior, and they are probably right.. but I have been running this semi-float for 15 years with 0 issues or breakages.. 35's are a non-issue for this axle, no matter how I abuse it.

@MisfitOBS2 ай бұрын
They are hybrid builds. The front and rear are build kits from Move Bumpers. The front was originally a non-winch bumper but I modified and reinforced it to accommodate a winch and both bumpers were modified to have better departure/approach angles with heavy skids on the bottom. So the short answer is heavily modified build kit bumpers.

A good set of heads will Improve mileage and power, the proper timing with the correct octane will give you better mileage and making sure you have good, efficient spark and fuel will improve mileage. I'm going to do something with all of these systems. But remember, if you do all this and drive aggressively, you may get worse mileage.. the proper gearing and tire size will play a big role as well..

When my wife and i moved here from Georgia i bought a little grand cherokee to hit the trails with and loved it but i missed my fords. I found a 94 f150 exrended cab, short bed, 5.0 4x4 with the typical rot in the cab corners and front fenders and a rattlecan paint job, looked rough but mechanically very sound with 147k miles. Picked it up for 800 bucks! Much like you my family is growing and we needed more space, sold the jeep to make funds for the new "mom mobile" but held on to my truck. Ive been missing the trails recently and never really considered a build on the 94 for that type of wheeling. Man, i found your videos last week and its been an epiphany. I gotta build it out like yours. Its perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. Maybe when time comes to build i can get so.e pointers from you.

@@MisfitOBS i totally understand! But i generally love the idea of building vehicles for a purpose most wouldnt pick them for. Its exciting and avoids looking like everyone else. Lol. I do have a question, what was the ultimate deciding factor for going to dana 60? Obviously its a heavy duty unit but people always use 8.8 fords for drag racing abuse and smaller builds (XJs and stuff) could the 8.8 not be built out to a good enough spec? Just curious if i should plan on an axle swap or if i could build out the 8.8 its got.
@MisfitOBS6 ай бұрын
Haha. Long answer Incoming, sorry! it's funny you mention building on an unusual platform. There is a psychological game that we play in our heads that people don't realize they do. My truck isn't any more special or capable then a Jeep rubicon with a small lift and 35s but when a jeep does a trail like Poison Spyder in Moab, it's no big deal because it's a jeep rubicon, anyone that can write a check can get one ready to go from the stealership. When people see me crawl through those same obstacles with the same ease, it blows their minds.. haha. Plus, not many rigs like mine out on hard trails, or any trails really, but (no judgement, just not my thing) there are 40,000 different versions of the same Jeep when we go to Moab, again, not dogging on jeeps, they are by far the best platform to start with for a capable rig, I think they are great looking too. As far as the axle, honestly, the D60 was put in before I had a ton of knowledge of building rigs. I don't have a ton now, but it was much less before. Looking back I probably would have built a ford 9" for a bit more clearance and less rolling resistance, the D60 takes a bit more energy to turn. The 8.8 kept breaking like a toothpick locked up with 35s. You can build them up (probably to what I needed) but torque on axles multiplies with a lot more factors, whereas horsepower dissipates with the same factors. For example, you could have drag car that weighs 3,000lbs with 800ft lbs of torque with 4:10 gears and sticky tires and you will have more torque that makes it to the tires. Your ultimate braking point is when those tires will or wont break traction. This is a combo of motor torque, tire traction and vehicle weight. So even with all that torque from the motor, you just need your axles to be stronger than the point your tire looses traction with its single point of contact on the ground (thats on oversimplification but I'm sure you get it). With off-roading, you can take a motor that only produces 300 ft lbs of torque but then put it in low range witch Significantly multiplies torque to tires AND have 4:88 gears which also multiplies torque to tires AND have 35-37" tires which multiplies resistance to spinning AND the rig weighs 5,000 plus lbs which contributes to resistance to spinning AND you get that tire wedged in an undercut rock obstacle so you have several points of contact on the tire which multiplies resistance to spinning. With all those multipliers on torque and resistance to wheel spin, that truck that produces lower torque from the motor is actually applying a significantly higher amount of torque to the actual axle shaft. We thought it would just be safer to go to a 35 spline dana 60 with the intention of running a 37 eventually.. if that makes sense. Another reason is the D60s are way more common than custom built 8.8s; If I have a break out on the trail, standard D60 axle shafts are easier find than Chromoly 8.8 shafts..Wheeling with my wife and kids, I like to keep things as simple and easy as I can. Also, we all need to help bolster our Man-Cards, it's fun to say you've got one tons on your truck, haha😇 Thats mostly a bad joke.. nobody asks me what axle I have..

@@MisfitOBS that all makes sense to me! I agree 100%. Even tho its still a jeep. My 2000 grand cherokee on 31s was very capable and i did some pretty gnarly trails where guys with jeeps and toyotas on more lift and lires would park and tell me im not gonna make it, then watch in amazement as i crawled up without thrashing or hurting TOO much. Plastic bumpers took dome scrapes but nothing major. The all time 4wd system in that generation jeep worked awesome with my 2" puck lift and 31s. I could see that much bigger tires and it wouldnt have performed as well. But with proper line choice and throttle control i got everywhere i wanted to go and more. That said theres nothing like an OBS ford to me. I will always prefer to drive one, evwn if it takes a little more time/modification to make it as capable. If i had the checkbook of these others, id still pick to build an OBS haha. Not dogging those guys either. Jeeps are tried and true with an aftermarket like no other. But ive always been a man of path less traveled..ultimately im not looking to outwheel any jeeps anyways. Just a comfortable trail cruiser with mild capabilities would be fine with me.

The size of lift you do and what drop brackets it comes with will determine how much drop your pitman needs to have and wether you need to do an "over-knuckle" conversion or not.

Thanks, Man. Awesome to see a returning OBS fan! Really appreciate you taking time to watch! I actually have a Moab video edited up and ready to go! I was thinking about releasing it next week but now I'm considering doing something like a "recovery gear I keep in my truck" type video before I upload the Moab one. ... for some reason, the videos with me talking get more engagement... I would have never guessed that. What are your thoughts?
@@MisfitOBS Your welcome bro. And yea a recovery video would be great. And whenever you build your rock sliders you should make a video on building them. That’d be pretty cool to do.
@@matthewgoins87 Sounds awesome. And the rock slider vid will probably come sooner than later..Spoiler alert, in the Moab video I crunch my bed pretty bad on a gnarly rock ledge...
I love seeing this!
Thanks, Mike. We will have to schedule a live session for you!
That is an awesome truck!
Thanks!
I love sand hollow!
Thanks for watching! I bet it loves you too!
I'm glad I found your channel! Love the OBS trucks and it's great to see them in action. Keep that Ford and those cameras rolling.
Thanks for watching!! Share it with anyone you think would enjoy. As soon as I get monetized by youtube this project truck will really get good! Comments and likes help a ton!
Happy to see this beautiful truck pop up on my feed again!
Thanks!! Glad to see you back to check it out!
Wicked awesome man!!! Just lost my OBS to a tree back in December. Seeing this makes me want to find another one sooner than later!!
Thanks for watching!! That’s a huge bummer about your truck! Get one!
I love to watch the older vehicle overland rigs, they get it done without most of the 'electronic assists.' You made it quite far without the winch considering how sloppy the trail was. Keep the Ford and those cameras rolling!
Thanks for watching!! Agree 100%, love that this truck has NO nanny features.. my check engine light is more of a mild suggestion to look into something when I get the time.😂 Just dropped another video, enjoy! kzread.info/dash/bejne/mn1mpc9sec6-lbQ.html
@@MisfitOBS Good stuff...I am now a subscriber.

Dana 60 rear end with 5 lug hubs? Mind sharing details on that?
Thanks for watching! It's a semi-float Dana 60 out of a 1999 Van E-250. The Semi float gives you the flexibility of lots of different axle shaft options. Semi-float rear ends are great options for jeeps, bronco's and half-ton trucks so you don't have to buy a completely new set of rims or swap out your front axle to match the 8 lug variants. Some people will argue the the full-floats are far superior, and they are probably right.. but I have been running this semi-float for 15 years with 0 issues or breakages.. 35's are a non-issue for this axle, no matter how I abuse it.
Pretty cool. Didn’t even know about these. Thanks!
you mentioned more accurate speed from the gps. You can reprogram the speedometer on those trucks without any computers or tuners. look up PSOM programming if you haven't already.
who makes that bumper?
They are hybrid builds. The front and rear are build kits from Move Bumpers. The front was originally a non-winch bumper but I modified and reinforced it to accommodate a winch and both bumpers were modified to have better departure/approach angles with heavy skids on the bottom. So the short answer is heavily modified build kit bumpers.
Building a 93. Hello from the PNW! New subscriber here.
Thanks for the support!! Love the PNW area, would love to get my truck up that direction some day! Good luck on your build, happy to help if I can!
is this the 6.5 or 8ft bed?
This is the 6.5' bed.. maybe even shorter in the not-so-distant future...
this is so sick
Thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Very nice setup admire how you did everything I've got a 93f150 flareside 4x4
Thanks! 92-96 are definitely my favorite!
I'm shopping for an obs 9th gen f-150 4x4 crew cab right now, ≤200,000. Dream truck for sure! But yo, I was wondering how do you plan to make the 5.0L more fuel efficient?
love that the 9th gen f-150 is your dream truck! Says a lot about your character, in a good way!! I'm not 100% sure I'm going to make it more fuel efficient but any time you make a naturally aspirated motor breath better, you will get better mileage. A good set of heads will Improve mileage and power, the proper timing with the correct octane will give you better mileage and making sure you have good, efficient spark and fuel will improve mileage. I'm going to do something with all of these systems. But remember, if you do all this and drive aggressively, you may get worse mileage.. the proper gearing and tire size will play a big role as well..
Which tail lights and headlights are those? I’m building my OBS overlanding currently as well!!
Hey! Sorry I missed your comment.. hope it's not too late. The tail lights, which I really like, are AmeriLite LED lights: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FJ14ZJ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the headlights are Spec D smoked headlights: They are okay but I had to modify them to accept a more powerful bulb and the halo rings are pretty dim, cant see them in daylight so I dont even use them, so I would probably go with something different if I were to do it again.. maybe.. I do like how they look a lot.. www.amazon.com/Projector-Headlights-Compatible-1992-1996-Assembly/dp/B0751W2W84/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3P0AG36IY4RED&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.32lw5KC0XfD6g7CChi9KlNJYjG3jVAgRsPm88yGzBoi3X_eqq20FfacFio76NaBPdEGzpilVfZEyL6Op2DlM4j3e5-V0uAuyai4hiscRGGBBk0MsBfuMjBNjxbzW5k1vDq80dFRDkhf3-bFT-WX0y_Fes4DFz3U0BiA01eNWmlDaaEM3_qw2H9PUQ4JYEhrRqTy-y4ogc75XdLLP_6M-_KczM3kUWpFVh_RnGdgxkXxV3x5Lu25utCHDyI6u219OtO0AkpApZwIKoJO4w1m6c3ulthCTvvTo-g2BJ5A6cmU.Fdi5UpIKfD7mFJNTRsad-FHAH70nnMschwF9-8dT_bw&dib_tag=se&keywords=Spec-d%2Bheadlights%2B1995%2BF150&qid=1710948037&replacementKeywords=spec-d%2Bheadlights&s=automotive&sprefix=spec-d%2Bheadlights%2B1995%2Bf150%2Cautomotive%2C128&sr=1-3&vehicle=1995-54-666------------&vehicleName=1995%2BFord%2BF-150&th=1
I've got a 95 150 I want to build out very similar... Your front bumper looks very similar to the Move brand, but they don't offer a winch option. Can you provide details on your bumpers? I am also struggling to find a bed cover for a 95. It seems nobody makes them anymore.
Front and rear bumpers are Move bumpers but modified. The front is the Stealth Non-Winch bumper but I built a winch plate for it and gusseted it heavily and reinforced the mounting plates. Took a lot of work and is a VERY VERY tight fit. There is some detail in my walk around vid: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k2dmtquQpLGtpMo.html. My Bed cover is a TruXedo TruXport Soft Roll Up Truck Bed Cover. I believe you can find them on amazon for the long or short beds.
Seems pretty capable ? I'm looking at buying a 92 right now to do something similar
They can be really capable but takes some work if you want them to be a refined crawler. With these rigs, the brand and type of lift you put on it is going to SIGNIFICANTLY effect the ride and flex you get out of them. Best of luck with your build! It's definitely a process!
Sweet build man I would love to do something like this myself. Looks like it brings lots of good times with the family. Keep up the vids
Thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch. 100% on the good times, literally the reason I built it; a way to get off the beaten path with my family!
Nice build, thanks for sharing. You earned my subscription!
Thank you! I'll keep the videos coming.
It’s really cool to see obs doing such things,, Where can I build like this monster?
Appreciate you saying so! You can build this in any garage it will fit in with the right set of tools!
Just hit the same platform. Looking to get 2 more, 2wd and 4wd, total 3 all 302s a well. How much did junk yard set you back?
Sounds like a fun project! I may build one or two more. The truck itself was $900 when I initially bought it. Couldn't tell you my overall cost; probably somewhere around $15k..
I have a 95 Eddie Bauer thats my baby, owned it for 17 years.im getting a 91 scsb to turn into a beater as my jeep isnt always the correct tool for the job.are running your sway bar up front? I can help you with your mission for more power and mpg,i get 16-17 out of my 95 with what i did to my 302.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I'm not running a sway bar front or rear but I think I may change that soon. I just need to design and build what I am looking for, the ones on the market aren't quite what I want.
I've not wheeled a ttb so the off road mods and the limits too which they can droop without tearing shit up is a bit new to me lol,I wanna do as little lift on mine as possible( level lift basically) and chop out what I have too so I can fit 35s,my buddy that runs torque king 4x4 carries all sorts of drive train stuff for these old trucks so I'm gonna be rebuilding the front end before I stuff big tires under it.i repect the fact you have taken such a methodical approach to your build for reliability and capabilities.
Solid video & build 👍🏻. Love the OBS
Thank you! Really appreciate you watching!
Could you do a more in depth video on the steering?
For sure! It's already installed but I can definitely get some more footage of the parts on the truck, explain what I did and list the parts and tools needed for the upgrade. I'm going to start on a front fender fix I need to do here in a day or so, I'll get some footage of it and include the info on the steering as well. Thanks for taking the time to watch!!
Nice build. I’m working on doing something similar to my 94 F150.
Thank you. Love the OBS platform. Thanks for watching!
Dane, i gotta tell you. I NEED more footage of this truck haha. Im your neighbor over here in Colorado. Ime on my 3rd 90s ford pickup and to say i caught the bug on them is an understatement. When my wife and i moved here from Georgia i bought a little grand cherokee to hit the trails with and loved it but i missed my fords. I found a 94 f150 exrended cab, short bed, 5.0 4x4 with the typical rot in the cab corners and front fenders and a rattlecan paint job, looked rough but mechanically very sound with 147k miles. Picked it up for 800 bucks! Much like you my family is growing and we needed more space, sold the jeep to make funds for the new "mom mobile" but held on to my truck. Ive been missing the trails recently and never really considered a build on the 94 for that type of wheeling. Man, i found your videos last week and its been an epiphany. I gotta build it out like yours. Its perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. Maybe when time comes to build i can get so.e pointers from you.
Thanks! Love to hear from other OBS fans! Happy to help with some pointers. This truck as been years of trial and error for me because most don't do an offroad-focused build on these. I'm always looking for more ideas for videos! Keeping footage coming consistently has been harder than I anticipated with 4 Kiddos and a full time job.. that and I absolutely hate filming 😇😂. I haven't been out for a bit because one of my front fenders needs some attention. I absolutely need to head out to colorado to do some of the famous trails out there. Thanks for watching!
@@MisfitOBS i totally understand! But i generally love the idea of building vehicles for a purpose most wouldnt pick them for. Its exciting and avoids looking like everyone else. Lol. I do have a question, what was the ultimate deciding factor for going to dana 60? Obviously its a heavy duty unit but people always use 8.8 fords for drag racing abuse and smaller builds (XJs and stuff) could the 8.8 not be built out to a good enough spec? Just curious if i should plan on an axle swap or if i could build out the 8.8 its got.
Haha. Long answer Incoming, sorry! it's funny you mention building on an unusual platform. There is a psychological game that we play in our heads that people don't realize they do. My truck isn't any more special or capable then a Jeep rubicon with a small lift and 35s but when a jeep does a trail like Poison Spyder in Moab, it's no big deal because it's a jeep rubicon, anyone that can write a check can get one ready to go from the stealership. When people see me crawl through those same obstacles with the same ease, it blows their minds.. haha. Plus, not many rigs like mine out on hard trails, or any trails really, but (no judgement, just not my thing) there are 40,000 different versions of the same Jeep when we go to Moab, again, not dogging on jeeps, they are by far the best platform to start with for a capable rig, I think they are great looking too. As far as the axle, honestly, the D60 was put in before I had a ton of knowledge of building rigs. I don't have a ton now, but it was much less before. Looking back I probably would have built a ford 9" for a bit more clearance and less rolling resistance, the D60 takes a bit more energy to turn. The 8.8 kept breaking like a toothpick locked up with 35s. You can build them up (probably to what I needed) but torque on axles multiplies with a lot more factors, whereas horsepower dissipates with the same factors. For example, you could have drag car that weighs 3,000lbs with 800ft lbs of torque with 4:10 gears and sticky tires and you will have more torque that makes it to the tires. Your ultimate braking point is when those tires will or wont break traction. This is a combo of motor torque, tire traction and vehicle weight. So even with all that torque from the motor, you just need your axles to be stronger than the point your tire looses traction with its single point of contact on the ground (thats on oversimplification but I'm sure you get it). With off-roading, you can take a motor that only produces 300 ft lbs of torque but then put it in low range witch Significantly multiplies torque to tires AND have 4:88 gears which also multiplies torque to tires AND have 35-37" tires which multiplies resistance to spinning AND the rig weighs 5,000 plus lbs which contributes to resistance to spinning AND you get that tire wedged in an undercut rock obstacle so you have several points of contact on the tire which multiplies resistance to spinning. With all those multipliers on torque and resistance to wheel spin, that truck that produces lower torque from the motor is actually applying a significantly higher amount of torque to the actual axle shaft. We thought it would just be safer to go to a 35 spline dana 60 with the intention of running a 37 eventually.. if that makes sense. Another reason is the D60s are way more common than custom built 8.8s; If I have a break out on the trail, standard D60 axle shafts are easier find than Chromoly 8.8 shafts..Wheeling with my wife and kids, I like to keep things as simple and easy as I can. Also, we all need to help bolster our Man-Cards, it's fun to say you've got one tons on your truck, haha😇 Thats mostly a bad joke.. nobody asks me what axle I have..
Non of that is to say that you couldn't make the 8.8 work great!
@@MisfitOBS that all makes sense to me! I agree 100%. Even tho its still a jeep. My 2000 grand cherokee on 31s was very capable and i did some pretty gnarly trails where guys with jeeps and toyotas on more lift and lires would park and tell me im not gonna make it, then watch in amazement as i crawled up without thrashing or hurting TOO much. Plastic bumpers took dome scrapes but nothing major. The all time 4wd system in that generation jeep worked awesome with my 2" puck lift and 31s. I could see that much bigger tires and it wouldnt have performed as well. But with proper line choice and throttle control i got everywhere i wanted to go and more. That said theres nothing like an OBS ford to me. I will always prefer to drive one, evwn if it takes a little more time/modification to make it as capable. If i had the checkbook of these others, id still pick to build an OBS haha. Not dogging those guys either. Jeeps are tried and true with an aftermarket like no other. But ive always been a man of path less traveled..ultimately im not looking to outwheel any jeeps anyways. Just a comfortable trail cruiser with mild capabilities would be fine with me. That suspension setup you got looks 👌 comfy!
Good stuff to keep in mind for my 95 bronco build.
I have a 96 bronco, an easy upgrade to help fuel economy and better overall performance was changing the injectors from the single hole to quad hole injector.
Thats awesome! Mine are probably due to be changed anyway, I'll start looking into it. Thanks!
Thanks for adding the Chris Farley moment.... 😉
Who makes you bed rack or is it homemade
A company called Hot Metal Fab makes the rack; it’s universal so it fits most truck beds. I modified it so my bed cover would fit under it and added welded on the brackets for the canopy. So I suppose the answer is yes and yes..😂😇
In Brazil these trucks are swapped and rebranded as a F1000 with a MWM 229 diesel great fuel mileage and a proven engine
I’ve got one of these. Could you drop the links for the steering kit and the throttle body. I’m going to lift mine and would like it to steer well
For sure! I don't have the info off-hand right now but I will update this response when I check my notes. It's really a matter of making sure your links are the same angle as your axle beams (TTB). The size of lift you do and what drop brackets it comes with will determine how much drop your pitman needs to have and wether you need to do an "over-knuckle" conversion or not. If you are going to do any amount of off roading, I would recommend converting to over-knuckle to get those tie rods up out of the way. Thanks for taking some time out of your life to watch my video!
@@MisfitOBS Thank you! And of course it’s really hard to find good information on these trucks and I’ve done off-roading in mine stock to some success like you and your dad did (my truck was also a single cab long box and was also red and was also my dads) I’ve been looking for a few upgrades to make it a bit better. Hence the lift. I also built my engine with ported stock heads a stage 2 150 over lift and 20 over duration and a few others. Definitely helps the acceleration and is really easy to do and still very reliable. I have heard some issues with the afr heads and using the stock accessory mounting brackets. I would recommend comp cams cam lifter and push rod kit as then you don’t have to play Sherlock Holmes with sizing and stuff
Great truck. F150s get a little rusty here in Utah…I’d suggest keeping an extra ignition module in the glove box with the socket to change it, but that truck will never let you down mechanically. Some people don’t like the TTB front ends, but they ride nice n and off road.
Haha, you are 100% right! I'm fighting the rust battle with it now. It will most likely get some body work and paint either this winter or spring! Thanks for the reminder on the ignition module; thats been on my to-do list for a while.. As far as the tools, that truck has it's own dedicated tool kit on it at all times! Not sure if thats a good thing or a sign I work on it too much 😂. Appreciate you watching the video!
I have a 95 f150 5.0 two toned red and grey im also from Utah!! Currently living in Southern California but moving back in a year! I was thinking about selling my truck but after watching your videos makes me wanna keep it and make it as a offroad hunting rig as well! Keep up the videos and your videos make me miss Utah so much! Lol
Really appreciate you taking some time to watch! Utah is definitely an amazing place, especially for adventurers! If you’re able, I’d hang on to that truck! They’re getting to the point where they are pretty valuable when they’re in good condition!
The 90 Ford trucks are pretty cool. I definitely like them.
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for taking some time to watch!
