This looks awesome! You guys are planning to beef up the transmission and transfer case also, right? All that hard driving in the summer heat is going to be hell on the tranny, both supercharged or not.

For right now we dont have any plans for it... so far Skeleton has done over 10,000 miles on 35s with the stock tranny and transfer case.. maybe it is time.. But I dont even know where to go for a built 4x4 f150 driveline..

In the vid and some pics its compressing all the way, notice how we only have one leaf spring in, this is so we can test and measure up how many inches of travel we have in the rear...

We are still going to add the adjustable bumpstops, which will be both compression and rebound as well.

stay tuned for more updates and pics. We are hoping to have the trucks done within 2 weeks (that's assuming the final shipment arrives on time.

Nice!! you guys do spend time on each and every detail of the truck!!!

Yeah, what about the interior? will it have safety bars, bucket seats etc? (like hardcore style?)

I guess your not using those trucks as a daily drive anymore

I think it's time for some 37's Dune Grapplers!!!
