What’s Your Favorite Prerunner Built?

[LoganB]

Let’s say you have the option to buy any prerunner current or past, what one would you pick and why? I’m not talking about building a dream truck, I mean buying an already done one.

For me, it’s squishy. The amount of unknown/unnoticed things about that truck is mesmerizing to me. The custom built cab ( so unreal), the insane single 4.0 Robby Shocks, all the design and thought process that went into the truck. The fact that the entire rear half of the truck is a twin to the riviera truck. Axles, trailing arms, are all interchangeable with the riviera truck. It was so far ahead of its time, it was over built around 35s in the 90s with such nice big parts that when they upgraded to 39s it wasn’t even an issue. Looking at a truck that is pushing the 30 yr mark and is still around being used and hasn’t had to be re worked or repaired shows the quality of that machine. The wheel tire combo is the icing on the cake.

Squishy is also my favorite with Duralast TT a close second

I wish I could find the photo of that truck I used to have 20 years ago saved. Jumping a table top fully drooped out looking like it had 900ft of travel.

This one also sticks in my mind...

Squishy and big bird are definitely on the list. Jet Blue and the white beamed f150 that newline built are right there as well as the red one Roger Norman drove in D2G. The JD fab tahoe, the Toyota T1000. I’ll round off the list with an old Walrath Silverado or any of the Geiser lux runners.
And the black diamond if I wanted to race.

Mine would definitly be Ramstein.

I’d pick this one too

Also, realistically speaking. I’ve been in love with Roxanne for like 15 years. She was my inspiration to build my ranger. Gimmesand threw around the idea of selling it way back before I could ever afford it. I’d say that she would be my Prerunner of choice to be honest.

I don’t think the front tube work was changed up but definitely the pivots, steering, and beams were redone by Tom at SI on that thing. He went through that truck pretty well. Definitely one of my favorites as well, along with the Grey SI F150 with the single 4.0” King Coilovers at each corner.

I forgot tom did the beams.

I forgot tom did the beams.

You are Forgiven, my child.

This thing takes my vote. It just needs 3 piece front fiberglass.

I’ve drooled over that one a lot

 

[Wilderbuilt]

I’d take one of these or squishy

I believe the red F150 is Roger Norman’s Prerunner, same truck that Mario Andretti railed on in Dust2Glory.
The black truck idk who owns it, but i wouldn’t mind if either one was parked in my driveway as a new anchor.
