Hot Shot Mike's 5500 4x4 with B&W Elite Bed
Feel Free To Drool as I did.. I had to sanitize the steering wheel after I drove it..
This is the First Bed built by B&W for the 5500's..My friend picked this up last Thursday and has already put 4500 miles on it..

you have the option of 4.44's or 4.88's in the 4x4 if my memory serves me correct.. Mike has the 4.44's at 2500rpm in OD (6spd auto) stock 19.5 tires he is doing 75

Nice ride, but the bed is not that good looking, there are many other beds that look much better.

I think it's a 4.10 standard and 4.88 as an option.

Lets see some back shots of that bed and does it have the b&w turnover ball built into it for all of the options that b&w offers?
