ORIGINAL MEGAREXX
The Original MegaRexx® — Why'd we do it?!? The simple answer is... Because life is too short to drive a boring truck!
Take a Ford F250, F350, or F450 with brute diesel power and a strong, straight axle up front. Sure, it's a pretty solid truck — but simply doesn't have the sport look that most people want, nor does it possess any real off-road capability. We decided to design and build a truck based on several key points, to give our customers the best truck possible, at a reasonable price.
It was time for a completely revised design,
never done by anyone else!
MEGAREXX DESIGN CRITERIA
Taller tires (46") to lift the differentials out of mud, snow, rocks.
Add very little lift to keep the center of gravity low.
Wider track to keep stability when cornering.
Much larger fenders – front & rear – to cover the larger tires.
Move the front axle forward to clear the firewall.
Longer travel suspension for much better off-road capability.
Retain the ability to tow heavy payloads.
Have the front end tilt open like a semi for easier access & service.
New super-strong fiberglass body parts that don't rust or corrode & are easy to repair.
Offer rim & tire combinations 3x stronger than stock rims & tires.
Build the entire body with sexy sport-look, like the 2017 Ford Raptor™
The Original MegaRexx® conversion of 2011-2022 Ford F250/F350/F450 Super Duty trucks is all we do! We've been building and selling Ford Super Duty trucks for over 20 years! Lifted Ford trucks are a specialty we mastered long ago and we were one of the first off-road shops in the business.
Each and every Original MegaRexx® we build is custom... and that's all we build. During the past 30+ years, we've built all kinds of trucks from just about any marque you can name — lifted trucks, 4-door Jeep TJ's, and pickups, but all we build now is the Original MegaRexx®. We often have Ford Super Duty trucks for sale and, on rare occasions, a pre-owned Original MegaRexx®.
Most people ship their Ford F250/F350/F450 to us for conversion. We install a mild 4.5" lift using tough Icon™ suspensions, or you can go all out, with long travel coilovers, bypass shocks, etc.
Our proprietary off-road body panels give the Original MegaRexx® the "trophy truck" look while retaining the ability to tow! Ford Super Duty trucks can tow 3X that of a standard Ford Raptor™. We believe in the Ford 6.7L Turbo-Diesel engine and highly recommend you purchase your truck with that powerplant.
Our 1st Generation (G1) was a full 12" wider than stock — and our 2nd Generation (G2) Original MegaRexx® model is a whopping 18" wider than stock!
The key to a great all-around off-road truck is to RAISE the axles and differentials with larger tires so they clear rocks, snow, mud, and other obstacles. The larger diameter tires we use are also wider than stock, which helps to prevent the tires from sinking into soft terrain. Our proprietary, computer-aided design (CAD) body modifications allow the use of larger tires with little lift which helps to keep the center of gravity down low for increased stability, which is further enhanced by the much wider track!
Original MegaRexx® conversions begin with a teardown of the entire front clip, removal of the bedsides, installing the 4" lift to level the truck, and installing longer shocks on the front and rear.
Our Stage 1 conversion package includes all fiberglass parts, the steel halo that supports the hood and lights, the links for the tilt mechanism, headlights, tail lights, grille, amber or white lights for the grille, gas shocks that help lift and hold the hood open, and the necessary parts to facilitate the larger wheel and tire combination. When you discuss your specific needs with us, we will price your options and current costs for those items. The Stage 1 conversion package also includes color-matched paint for your truck completed by our talented in-house body & paint team. Two-tone paint schemes, pearls, and complete repaints are additional.
The Original MegaRexx® Stage 1 conversion package also includes moving the front axle forward 1.5" to allow the larger tires to clear the firewall. We designed a super-strong steel halo used on the front of the truck to support the slick one-piece tilting hood, headlights, and grille. The hood is held closed by internal rubber lockdowns, the same used on Freightliner™ semi trucks — easy to snap down and hidden from view.
Every component is hand-fitted with close attention to detail, fit, and finish. The rear bedsides are bolted to the frame with stainless steel nuts and bolts. The undersides of the fenders are undercoated. Galvanized 3/4" steel struts secure the outer fenders — just like the original truck, but much heavier.
Once the Original MegaRexx® body conversion is complete, the nitrogen gas shocks are added to support the tilt hood when open. The windshield washer squirters are added onto the wiper arms. The front cowl is trimmed to fit the hood with a close fit. The radio whip attached to the right front hood hinge is kept in place by trimming the hinge and retaining the antenna support.
Original MegaRexx® fenders and hoods have 3" of the wheel well removed to allow fitment of the larger wheel and tire combination. The hand-laid fiberglass process we utilize is so thick in these areas that no additional modifications are required. There is no lip or return to allow mud, snow, and sand to fall off the wheel wells easily.
Once back from our in-house paint shop, the hardware for the hood and fenders is replaced with anodized aluminum parts. We use Anzo™ Switchback headlamps which are white around the edges and glow amber when the turn signals are activated. Lastly, the wheels and tires are installed. The truck is road-tested and adjusted.
Original MegaRexx® rely on the reliable power of Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks equipped with the 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel. The Original MegaRexx® needs the power and torque of the turbo-diesel to accommodate the larger 46" x 15.5" Michelin XZL (395/85R20) tires mounted on MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) aluminum wheels. These are the current wheels and tires fitted to military FMTV and other larger vehicles. To ensure proper acceleration and retain the towing ability, we re-gear the axles with 4.88:1 gears.
The MRAP wheels are rated at 10,000 lbs each and the tires are G-rated, so weight is no issue for an Original MegaRexx®. The wheels are disassembled, cleaned, sanded, and repainted. The 46" Michelin™ XZL tires are professionally mounted and balanced for smooth operation on the highway on a special machine designed by Hunter™ exclusively for large radial tires. We also correct the speedometer via our calibration programmer for each truck, made by Hypertech™, and all builds include this unit.
There are endless options available for an Original MegaRexx® – push bumpers, desert or pre-runner style bumpers, deer guards, electric side steps from Amp Research™, spare tire carriers, front and/or rear winch, high-end EBC™ brakes, custom exhaust, off-road lights, work lamps, power inverters, etc. – whatever you can dream, we can build!
The final cost of your Original MegaRexx® is determined by your specific needs. Every truck is a true one-off, custom build – no two trucks are identical. We'll start with the Stage 1 conversion, add your options, and we'll estimate the cost of your build prior to your order so there are no surprise cost overruns.
During the build, you can add/delete/modify items to your build via a change order. Simply send us a request by email, and we will send back a written change order with the associated cost or credit. ALL change orders must be in writing. Sure, we can discuss them over the phone, but the actual change order must be in writing which will include any changes in the total cost of the build. We reserve the right to change prices based on changes from our suppliers, but once we send you a quote (good for 10 days) your prices are guaranteed. A typical conversion takes about 4-6 weeks, however, due to high demand, it may take a month or more before we have a built slot available.
If you want a GENUINE F250, F350, or F450 Original MegaRexx®, THIS is the ONE AND ONLY place to get your hands on one!
