Teaser for the purists

Love the 'eyelashes'!

Any idea on how much HP you're putting down?

I get bored and graffiti the living daylights out of the truck. Eyelashes made me laught too that day.....well every day haha.

Should be at 500hp at the wheels. Oncw together, It will be dynoed, off roaded, entered in truck pulls when the fairs come around. Should be a hoot

What tires are you going to try and break that 60 with?

Kinda need more pics......

Don't know much 'bout much, but is the HP 60 a strictly Ford item? And how did you mate the transfers to have it come together?

X2 on more pics.

High pinion Dana 60 were a ford thing. They are reverse rotation to keep on the drive side. As you move above the centerline in a low pinion axle, you would be driving off the coast side of the gear, hence reverse rotation to cure that. Also, Ford uses thick gear sets so as you go above 4.10, you dont lose material in the ring gear. The advantage is getting the driveline higher up

Transfer cases are using an ORD doubler with a 203 from behind a TH400 for the 32 spline input and a ford 205. I had a chevy NV4500 mainshaft put in for the 32 spline output and avoid the 5th gear issue.

A few more teaser pics

Cradle for NV4500 and doubler


1/4" skid welded to the cradle


Cradle in place

Triple sticked

New heater (Danhard) using NOS ducts. I liked this heater as there is a ball valve to isolate the coolant flow out of the cab in the warm months. And the two ducts for defrost do not take away from the four for the cab

Roll Cage and MRAP seats in

Oasis compressor in battery box


Ignition panel/controls for winch battery, etc from 12voltguy
