"I use my truck as my daily driver and towing for my business," Rollins Jackson told us. His family has had a welding business in Tifton, Georgia, for more than 62 years. He uses it on job sites pulling equipment or trailers and to haul his '70 Cadillac show car and '03 Harley-Davidson F-150 100th Anniversary truck.

"I tried," Rollins said, "to make the truck as comfortable as possible. I do a lot of traveling with my business and pleasure. Building stereos has always been a hobby of mine. When I got the F-250, it was tricky finding the right subs to fit." So, he built a custom-ported box for the JL Audio 6.5 subs to fit behind the seat. Even though they are small, they pack a good punch. He did all of the stereo install himself. "On the outside, I tried to make it unique," Rollins says, "but not overkill it. I see plenty of white 250s, and I wanted mine to stand out from the rest. The truck is perfect for me. I use everything on it and enjoy firing up the 6.0L every day. Special thanks to Roland at RBP, Almost Anything Music in Auburn, Alabama, and J&H customs in Tifton, Georgia."

The truck includes Ford cab lights, a B&W hide-a-way hitch, a Yakama roof rack, custom acetone Ford emblems, a billet grille, a billet tow hook cover, and billet foglight covers. Silverstar headlights and foglights add better night visibility. A Brite Box from Ford Performance Specialists helps keep the truck functional.
