2014 Ford F350 *CUSTOM SEMA BUILD, TITLE IN HAND* PRICE DROP

2014 Ford F-350 XLT Description

PRICE DROP Hate to do it, but we have new projects to move on to. Mileage will vary. This is daily driven.

Bid on this one of a kind build by Motorsports Authority. Not only did this vehicle make an appearance at SEMA 3 times, but it also underwent a few changes for last year's show.

Initial Transformation

It's first build was named Black Rhino Project. The canvas is a 2014 Ford F350 XLT Dually Crew Cab 4WD. The initial goal was to have a SEMI truck look. The build was featured in the July issue of Diesel World Magazine and in Diesel Army (LINK). As far as we know, this is the first bagged 4WD dually. It took months of suspension trial and error and a combination of 2WD bagged components to make the suspension come together
. The suicide doors are made from factory 180 degree door components and heavily reinforced. One of the priorities in this build was that the suicide doors never sag. To make room for the reinforced plates, the rear audio was relocated and fiberglassed into the door panels. To make sure it matched, front door speakers were fiberglassed to match. The truck was purchased white and repainted fully to Sterling Gray Metallic. The exterior was then sanded all one direction so that it resembled a Brushed Steel. The grill surround and front bumpers were painted a bright silver to resemble a Semi truck's front end. The build list is as follows:

2015 SEMA Build Changes

American Force Wheels decided to bring back the truck after refreshing the build. American Force was releasing their American Muscle series wheels and the decision was made that each domestic brand would be represented by a Truck and a Car, matching the wheels on both vehicles. The truck and car would not only carry matching wheels in a truck and car configuration, but also in overall color and design. It was decided that the SuperDuty and Mustang would both have scales under a matte blue wrap. The scales would start small at the front of the vehicle and gradually increase in size as it approached the rear. This in itself took hours and hours of laying each scale to ensure it did so smoothly.

The build would transform from a rugged lowered truck look to a more street appearance. Build changs are as follows:

Final

This is definitely one of a kind build. The odometer hasn't turned over 30,000 miles, maintenance and fluids have been changed and filled accordingly. The engine, turbos, tune, and DEF fluid have all remain untouched to preserve the factory warranty on the motor. Bags have worked perfectly on 8-10 hour drives. Keep in mind, it's a bagged vehicle, and although it can be a smooth ride. Air bags should be set to different pressures on different surfaces as well as in towing conditions. It has been an enjoyable vehicle, and my kids are greatly disappointed to see it go. However, it's time for us to move on to a new build and nothing more.
