PICTAFIEDESIGN F150 Luxury Centermount Build

[Pictafiedesign]

19 months of waiting…. Shocks finally showed up!

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Made some more progress. Had to redo the front mounts for the shock uppers dud to some different tube layouts than what I used in fusion. But all tacked in.

Thanks dude! It’ll definitely be airborne out there that’s for sure!

wow man this thing is going to be epic

wow man this thing is going to be epic

Thanks man tryin to make it that way. See if we can follow through!

Here’s some more progress cab is tied together now.

 

[Pictafiedesign]

decided to add a third seat for another passenger and ended up reworking a lot of the rear wall.

Got the coan converter in as well and the moruzzi 416 stroker all setup! Need to permanently mount the midplate now and finalize the front motor mount and trans mount.

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Made quite a bit of progress on the cage being tied into the lower chassis. Need to tie the rear cab corner to the cage now as well and then we move onto seats being mounted!

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Made some pretty good progress so far. Getting the rear spares mounted is up next!

 

[Pictafiedesign]

As well as some fun times for about 3 hours on this one tube.

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Got the cookcraft metal mufflers and fenders mocked up over the break!


Also had the chance to finish up the fuel cell tie down. Tried to make it look like a rocket ship lol.

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Got the shocks dyno’d so we can get them ready for ebypass clickers as well. It’ll have full control over the main rebound/compression tubes. I’ll have the ability to change the setup on the fly. Should be pretty cool!

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Well some pretty exciting news! Joining to PRP for the 2024 season with this build.

Got a couple more parts from camburg… all limit straps, clevis’ and a couple tube connectors.

The cookcraft mufflers are now attached with some standoffs to the chassis now. (Debating on what the exit should look like.) and time to start the exhaust!

fuel cell hold down design is cool.

And how you doing the electric bypass tubes. Not using Fox's new RAD valve? Making your own??

Thanks dude!

I'm working with a company out here called Offroad Research that will be making a drop in ebypass clicker and position sensor. The clickers go into any main compression/rebound tube that is at least an 1" in diameter. Those control your main zones of your bypass. And a position sensor in the reservoir that measures pressure. Combining the inputs of those two sensors gives you control to a computer that will be able to adjust settings in real time for in truck adjustments

Super cool!! I assume you meant pressure sensor... not position? (since you said you are measuring pressure)

I would be fascinated to see the actual pressure readings... especially on super spikey events like square edge holes.... or when in bump zone.

Nope it’s a position sensor, but it measures pressure and can calculate the position based on how much pressure it’s reading. It knows x force at whatever speed is X position in the shock.

The dyno we had only went up to 2500lbs of force at 50 in/sec. You can see forces 2.5times that in a tt moving at speed. Pretty cool stuff though.

 

[Pictafiedesign]

started headers and exhaust work. Learning tig welding on stainless exhaust has been a curve but, we’re getting it figured out.

 

[Pictafiedesign]

Also got the new seats in! These things are killer! Went with the delta seat from PRP and added the heated seat option of course. Added their seat mounts also because why not

 

[RW81]

I wish I added the seat heaters to my deltas. Are they just in the removable back and seat pad? Thinking about just adding some. Seats look killer!
