This is my (blueovaltrucks.com) 2010 Ford F-350 FX4 SuperDuty. It’s a Lariat with leather and all of the options, and is powered by a 6.4L diesel. I bought this truck used, and built it up as the ultimate adventure vehicle capable of hauling my Forest River Work & Play toy hauler camper.
It didn’t always look quite like this. When I bought it, it was a Texas truck with the heavy duty Ranch Hand bumpers:
And this was after my modifications to it:
The modifications included:
- 3-Inch Rough Country suspension lift – LINK
- 295/70/18 (34.50x12x18) Cooper Discoverer STT PRO tires – Link
- Smittybilt 12,000 lb winch – LINK
- Pro Comp 9004 6-Inch halogen off-road lights – LINK upgraded with Pro Comp 130 watt bulbs – LINK
- Eyourlife 180 Watt spot/flood 32-inch LED Light Bar – LINK
- Amber tear drop cab lights – LINK
- Amber side marker lights – LINK

The bed received modifications as well:
- Herculiner roll on bed liner – LINK
- Larger than normal bed mounted tool box – craigslist
- 5-Gallon diesel fuel can and holder – LINK
- 5-Gallon water can – LINK in a Smittybilt Jerry Can Holder – LINK
- Shovel & Axe mounted to the rear of the bed box – Lowes
- Eyourlife 72 Watt spot/flood 12-Inch LED light bar – LINK
- Pair of TMH 48 Watt LED work lights under rear bumper – LINK
The spare tire had to be secured in the bed, because the rear bumper blocked access to the crank to lower it from under the truck.
The interior received a few additions as well:
- Uniden Bearcat 980 SSB CB Radio With Sideband And WeatherBand – LINK
- Wilson 305-38 Little Wil Magnet Mount CB Antenna – LINK
- Uniden 800 MHz 300-Channel Base Mobile Scanner – LINK
- Tram TRAM 1199 Glass Mount All-Band Scanner Antenna – LINK
- Samsung Tablet mounted to the center console (AT&T)
The tablet is used for navigation, weather maps, finding local amenities, and internet. The F-350 Lariat came with built in navigation, but the tablet offers detailed information on a far greater level.
I logged a lot of miles on this truck driving it from coast to coast. I clocked over 7,000 miles in July 2017 after a 3-week trip I called Roadtrip 2017 – Exploring The West.
I traded the truck for a 2016 Ford Expedition XLT in September 2017.
This page now serves as a memory to this truck and the places it took me.
