Why would you want to do that? I bet that thing rides so great doesn't it? Geez ...lol

Yep, it is..... Oh yeah and the truck to the left look hard because it is the smaller one has a 6" lift with 37's... They didn't have any spec's on it but said it would later this week...

That thin is [yuk] [yuk] [yuk] [yuk] :o [duhhh] [yuk] :o [duhhh] [yuk]

I bet it rides like a chrysler 300 M ........ WHile driving through a mine field

Here is the side and rear

Nothin' like being practical. :o

That's good!![roll] [laugh] [roll] [laugh]

Yeah, I bet it gets a solid 8 mpg.... I don't know much about it it is a project vehicle I seen on Kelderman's web-site and though how crazy.....

The axle looks like a toothpick compared to those tires!

So true. If i were to ever do something like that I would def. go with some larger/better rated axles. Those things look like they will be the weak link in the whole setup [laugh] [dummy]

X2

I mean you gotta give it to the guy that thought it up, built it and paied for it.

Alot of companies now days create vechiles like this to shocase a product and company. I seriously doubt some regular Joe drives this thing to work everyday....like some of you guys seem to think.

or it could be some stupid rich guy

either way I think its cool and I beat alot of outside people think we're crazy with all this 7K lb hot rod 4x4 diesel truck's

It does look small.. Do you guys think it's still an AAM axle that somebody modified and put a pinion brake on? I had to look twice cause I thought I saw one.. Yep thats definitely a pinion brake.

With how big those tires are (I believe they are 52"s) it could be a rockwell for all we know.

If I had the money to drive a truck like that I would but, only if I had enough money to by the truck I drive now on an everyday basis. Could not drive something like that everyday.

Look close guys. Those are top loading 2.5 ton Rockwells. Those are definately not toothpics. I wonder what rpm's he's turning with 6.72 gears.

Guess they just look tiny with those huge tires and lift and all. [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

I could see myself driving that.....tailgating all the soccer moms in their minivans!![guitar] [guitar] [guitar] :cool:

It actually still has the stock rockwell 6 lug pattern.

Dang! That's just insane.... I'm betting it's a showtruck. I know here in Memphis that thing wouldn't even be street legal.

That truck was at SEMA back in 2005. It was huge then when it had 44.6" Dunlop tires on it!

Yup definatley 2.5 ton rockwells.

Those tires seem bigger than 44.6.. But they're still huge!!!!!!!!!!

D.

Nevermind.... It's been late and I just fully Comprehended your post!!!! I will be going to bed now..

If they are the Michelins that I THINK they are; they are 48"

thats just rediculous...i wouldnt want to know the amount of money in that truck....yikes

I dig the rear steering as well. Pretty cool!

Doesn't Michelin make a 52" ? They look bigger then even a 48"

It's actually a 46.8 x 15.3 and weighs 219 lbs. by itself!!:o

There is even a 54.6 x 23.9 for a 21" rim that weighs 421 pounds!!!!:o

That truck was in Diesel Power awhile back.

Boz, I'm proud of you man. Seriously. I was going to tell everyone that those are 2.5 ton Rocks with 53 inch Michelins, but you beat me to it. :cool:

That truck is built pretty well guys, for what it is. I'd like to check it out in person sometime. I don't think it's anything special, other than a really tall freaking truck, but I give the guy props for upgrading axles and doing up the suspension right as far as I can tell. The steering is all good. You just don't see that type of quality in most show trucks, particularly the idiots that run 1/2 ton axles and 44 or 49 inch tires. [dummy]

Some guys will do anything to try and pick up girls!!!!!

Here is the truck in 05 before all the axles and all the goodies he added..Nice titan II Road Armor

I like it better like that. Just toooooo much on the new version.

Awwww, thanks man. [redface] [laugh]

I agree. That truck is probably just a show truck and most people wont go as far us upgrading things like that for a show truck. Kudos to that guy.

the top disc brakes were the rockwell giveaway

Do you think he voided any of his warrenty?[laugh] [laugh] [coffee] [laugh]

It is a 2 1/2 ton axle...more than enough.

Can we say Rockwell anyone?

practical benefits of lifting?
 

Are there any practical benefits to lifting a rig? I can understand bigger tire lift, that moves the axles up, but just a lift of the chassis with the axles still sitting at same height and same clearance issues makes no sense to me. Only benefit I can see would be keeping the air intake higher if you take your rig through rivers, etc.,.
Anyways - if i were faced with that terrain, etc. ,etc., I'd be thinking UniMog with it's snorkel and above-center axles.

yea those look like the 52" michelins...not sure if it was decided earlier in the thread.

that truck is huge tho...i wouldnt want to drive it thats for sure

old news
 

That was in the DieselPower magazine when they had the diesel showdown. Definetly not toothpick axles either.
