When most people go to work,
they are going to do a job that they don't necessarily enjoy. By trade, Ricky Monjaraz
from Paramount, California works on off-road vehicles at
R.I.S. Designs Inc. making billet grilles for 4-wheel banshees. He enjoys his
work and also enjoys taking his own off-road vehicles out for a spin in the
desert areas of California. To do this, Ricky needed an truck to haul them. That
is where the buildup of this 2002 Ford F-350 4x4 Diesel came into the picture. To get the outside of the truck
not only presentable but show ready as well, Ramzey's Auto Body sprayed a tribal
flame paint job on the huge Ford with a custom mixed green. The front grille was
removed and a DJ Motorsports stainless steel tribal grille was installed. To get
into his massive truck, Ricky added a set of Kodiak Sidewinder Steps with a 12-inch drop extension
to help keep him from ripping his pants open every time he tried to get into his
ride. The stock motor and transmission needed a little attention after adding such a large lift to his truck so it was time to address that part of the project. The 7.3 liter Diesel got help for a K & N Air Filter and full stainless steel exhaust from Bully Dog. The Transmission got a boost from a Transmission Masters Shift Kit & extra clutches were added . Ricky would like to thank everyone who helped with his project and especially Josh at Mobile Splash Auto Detailing (323) 707-3905. We would both like to thank Ericka Hoffman for gracing Ricky's truck for the feature. |
