Finishlinewest had an uprising that culminated with a few of the employees who maybe dont shave enough and have a few too many tattoos and piercings going off to start a SkunkWerks division building what looks like an off road racing Trophy Truck but is totally street legal.

It all started like this:

While brainstorming here in the corporate offices of Finishlinewest we were reminiscing about the good old days when we were cranking out Quakes like they were going out of style (eventually they did) and we thought "hey, ya know what?, we never built a PreRunner Quake. The boss is really into PreRunners and when we asked why he never had one built for himself he mumbled something about being out of Monster and we should all get back to work.

The original Quake built in 2000

That quasi-conversation got us thinking (something we shouldn't do without proper supervision) and an executive decision was made without the executive around, we should get our hands on a 2WD Expedition and build the boss a Quake PreRunner. With that kind of ass kissing we should be able to keep our jobs through the summer.

So with all this in mind we procured a 98 2WD Expedition that was in great shape and started to make a list of what goes into making a bitchin' vehicle for the boss.

Our first phone call was to Vortech so we could order up a helping of "fast", our Expy is a 4.6 version so we will pulling out all the stops so we can build something the boss wont bitch about.

We will be installing a fiberglass front end, building a front bumper, installing some high power lights, an audio/video entertainment system (the boss loves porn) and then we will top it all off with new paint and graphics.

As they get their parts assembled and start building we will be posting pictures here. In the interim we broke into the shop (not really the owner has the key) and snagged this rendering.

Getting closer!
