Tons of detail and pics for the whole build.


It's an awesome truck that will go anywhere that you want to take it, and unlike a jeep, has good payload capacity and power. Drives and rides better than a stock truck (no joke).


Few questions that I'm often asked:

Gearing:
This truck does have 4.88 gears. With 40" tires, 4.88 gears are within 1mph of the factory 3.73 gears and stock tires. On the highway, you're cruising at the same RPM as a stock truck. This truck also has the 6spd Allison trans, which is double overdrive. Cruise all day at 75-80mph.

Driving/Ride Quality:
This truck does not have any bump steer, and does not wander the road. I took a lot of time in making sure that my suspension design kept the drag link and track bar angles the same. When traveling, most of the time is spent cruising down highways, so I did NOT want to compromise that ability in any way.
The steering assist cylinder is located directly in line with the tie rod, and is perfectly flat/level. This truck steers easier than any vehicle that I have driven. No weird kicks/jerks from the steering due to the ram being mounted at an angle. Everything travels together, smoothly.

Truck height:
Yes it's on 40" tires, but it sits a touch lower than a 4" lifted truck on 35s. From ground to the top of my roof rack is 73". I go thru drive-thrus all the time with lots of clearance to spare. And yes, the engine is quiet enough at idle that you don't have to turn it off in a drive-thru. :sombrero:



Fly in to Northwest Arkansas (XNA) and drive it back home.

Price: $50k

That is a gorgeous truck. I just read through your build thread and that is some beautiful work. My vote is that you get a 100 series land cruiser and develop an SAS kit for that. I might be slightly biased though. Once again, amazing work and GLWS

Kind of a Ford guy myself.....Till I saw and read your build !!!!! Very nice !!! GLWS

This looks amazing but is way over my head as far as specifics. 2 questions. 1) with the compressed body over suspension as referenced how much movement do you have with the suspension? like does the front move 4" up and down 8"? Same with rear. 2) is this built to handle a flat bed with a 2000 lb camper on it? Thank you.

So the coilovers have 8" of travel. My ride height is set at 4" up and 4" down. So it's right in the middle of their travel, which is what I wanted. 8" of travel sure doesn't sound like much when you read it, but I've never once bottomed it out or felt like it needed more travel.

The rear suspension is mostly stock, overload spring is still in place and everything like that. The rear has a custom made 2.375" block and it also has a Firestone airbag setup. The airbags are located on the axle side using the daystar cradles. That allows the airbags to do their thing when you're carrying a lot of weight, yet suck up out of the way when they're not needed. Keeps from stretching/tearing them when you're offroad and the rear end flexes.
It would handle a 2000lb camper like it's not even there.... :sombrero:

Thanks for all of the comments! There is a gentleman from out of state coming to check the truck out in person on Friday. I'll update after that. Thanks

This is literally my dream truck build! Incredible work! If I was even remotely in the market​ for a truck like this, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this. Glws!
