Well I started the build the new build today...

It started its life out as 2000 F150 Harley Davidson Edition.

Since then it was fully shaved, bagged and painted...

I lost interest in the lowered scene and got into offroad racing.

The truck has sat in my back yard rotting away for the last 5-6 years...

sounds stupid to ask but im new. wat is a prerunner

 

a mild version of a trophy truck would be the easiest way to explain it without getting into too much detail.

but here is wikipedia's definition:

An off-road vehicle is considered to be any type of vehicle which is capable of driving on and off paved or gravel surface.[1] It is generally characterized by having large tires with deep, open treads and a flexible suspension, or even caterpillar tracks. Other vehicles that do not travel public streets or highways are generally termed off-highway vehicles, which would include tractors, forklifts, cranes, backhoes, bulldozers and Golf carts.

Off-road vehicles have an enthusiastic following because of their many uses and versatility. Several types of motorsports involve racing off-road vehicles. The three largest "4 wheel vehicle" off-road types of competitions are Rally, Desert Racing, and Rockcrawling. The three largest types of All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) / Motorcycle competitions are Motocross, Enduro, and also Desert Racing like Dakar Rallye and Baja 1000. The most common use of these vehicles is for sight seeing in areas distant from pavement. The use of higher clearance and higher traction vehicles enables access on trails and forest roads that have rough and low traction surfaces

They are most often 2-wheel drive, and most feature a 4130 chrome-moly tube-frame chassis covered by a fiberglass or other composite body. Engines are required to be naturally-aspirated, and are typically V8s generating in excess of 700 hp. They are also required to be of the same manufacturer as the body of the truck. Suspension travel can exceed 30 inches depending on chassis design. Most Trophy trucks use independent A-arm suspensions up front. In the rear, most trucks use a 3 or 4-link setup with a solid axle, while some use various types of independent suspension. Suspension and damping duties are handled by 1 or 2 shock absorbers per wheel; usually consisting of one coil-over and one by-pass shock.

More recently, trophy trucks have moved away from using a coilover and bypass shock, instead adopting a coilover with something called an internal bypass. This allows for the same amount of adjustment and eliminates one more thing that can break on the truck. These shocks are usually 3" in diameter and have a 14"-16" stroke.

In the Trophy-Truck offroad racing class, there are very few rules or regulations in regards to vehicle design; the limit to what can be done to the truck is largely based on the owner's budget.

 

Very nice parts list!

Can't wait to see some pics!
