Ultimate 4X4

How about front and rear 12,000lb winches? About $2500 - $3500.
same tire & wheel combo as the peterson 4 wheel & off road superduty would be nice. ( the 52's) but I think that's already decided

-klune V underdrive- cause you can never have too low of gears- but dont know the price.
-is it running leafs? if so, lets go with revolver shacles for more articulation
- front and rear tube bumpers w/ provisions for the winches- no real price to give out because I would build my own.

Just for fun Ryan you should post the buildup as it stands. Kinda seems like a Frankenstein monster that will break on the first outage: 18" lift with 49s on D60s with a diesel.........well, that would be a first.

So nobody really has stated what we are building the truck for were like a running blind man. We have an under drive for rock crawling we have a lift for who knows what because it is to much. I think we should put michilens 52" tire (MO). I should have used my brain a little and suggested rockwells instread of dyantracs because the Ultimate Superduty is breaking axle stuff with 46" tires and it has dyantracs.

well we're building for an all purpose truck,,,,it probably won't be real good in the rocks due to the massive lift, and it may be a bit weak in the front axle.....but the rules stated when we started there'd be no changing it. I purposly didn't state a use to see where we went. Follow along and after the 19th we'll have some fun.

How bout some rear steer? With a truck that big rear steer would be a lifesaver. but i have no clue on the price though. Also how bout some adjustable shocks ($400?) and some beed lock ($600) rims.

Ok...i said we'd do something different after today. so the rules have changed. Each user can make ONE change to the truck. Any changes after the first one will be deleted. As before....give a price. But now you must also give a reason why the change is nessecary.

Guess we're still stuck without the Rockwells then, huh.......oh well. I'll stop blowing that tune. Much better gear ration choice though, it would have been a major turd with the 4.88s.

edit: Oh yea, my change.......I want my 460 stroked to a 520, blown, injected, all custom machine work and parts: 12k. @900 horses of axle-snapping goodness. Why? C'mon, like you gotta ask.
