Isn't photoshop wonderful.

 

[Adventure Bob]

OK so real or PS?

 

[DLoughery]

Nope, it's real, no photo shop. We've been working on it all winter to get the last of the bugs out of it. I still have to wire up all the lights and do a little touch up here and there. I'll try and get some pics of the suspension posted in the next few days. It has been raining almost every day here for the past few weeks.

You know the funniest question I get is, "Why did you do that?" I tell them my wife has gotten so fat I had to add an extra axle just to haul her around. My wife is thin so I can get away with that without getting shot.

Then I get, "bet the gas mileage sucks. " In reality I get a consistent 17 mpg out of it.

My wifes Yukon gets 14 so I don't feel bad about it at all.

Thanks, It stopped raining for a while so I got a couple of shot of the rear ends.

That is awesome, nice work!! Have you taken it offroading yet? We have a polaris ranger 6x6 and it is amazing where that thing will go because of the tandem wheels on the back.

Thanks, I've had it through some of the trails on our farm and it seems to do very well in the mud. Most of the time you don't even have to kick the front axle in. Surprisingly in deeper snow you have to kick in the front axle to get anywhere. I think that has more to do with the tires than the three axles though.

Good looking truck, just not for me.

DLoughery... Where do you get the parts for the conversion? I saw a site before that went under. Where did you get yours?

 

[MillerR]

A couple questions: 1) I notice it's a Mega-cab, how long is the bed, 8'? If so, did you do the frame stretch as well? 2) Where did you get the rear fender flares? Nice lookin' truck. -Trey

Who makes your 19. 5 rims and where did you purchase them?

 

[RVTRKN]

Nice truck, when will we see it in the Diesel mags? You must have some real boring winters where you live. I noticed the input for the front axle, offset from center, is it for the gearing, for the transfer of power to the output for the rear of that axle?

Those are 17 inch wheels on the truck. If you are looking at my tag line that is for the 03 dually we have. The 19. 5's on that one are Rickson's.
