K believe it is a 2010 DOdge 5500 with the 6.7 cummins
changed from dually to single wheel out back
we put 2" spacers on the front
extended stock links 2" and made adjustable
nothing on rear for lift just air Bags
and some really big tires
a custom flat deck for his pull on trailer
custom flat fenders
well where to start....
-

This guy is actually my neighbor! I was wondering who built that.
Absolutely the sickest camping unit I've seen. Though he didn't use it much last year. Guy was riding his ktm down the street on the ice a couple days ago. Crazy bugger.
-
yeah its going to be a work rig eventually... he does safety courses i believe if i rember correct.... he is workin on getting it wrapped
we are going to be doing more down the road but thats it for now... it went to a show in the states this year cant remeber what it was called was for overlander rigs....
one of my favorites for sure...
-
that thing is big .. must be 8 feet wide
-
Who owns the ktm 950 SER 8)
-
bob the owner of the truck...... bad arse bike
-
Wow.. All I can say is I want that truck for christmas!
-
Wicked. :)
-
i believe that is a 42 " tire if i remeber correct there still one at the shop if its noty buried in snow i will look tomorrow...
-
that truck has alberta douche bag written all over it... :-\

thats not nice at all .. to each there own .. im personaly against (diesel performance ) i dont think those 2 words should ever be together . im a heavy duty mechanic and i know what happens when u beat a diesel . and its not good and its not cheap
but having a diesel set up to haul ( thats right haul ) a camper and able to do it through some bad arse enviroments then thats cool crap .. but as long as this guy doesnt try to run it down the 1/4 mile
-
Wouldn't those tires be terrible for long highway drives? Which I assume a rig like this would be doing quite often. That said, I have never heard of or seen those tires before so who knows.

This build is pretty cool, but driving a 5500 for work I can offer some advice for him. Take a sharpie marker and cross off the Duty on the badge. Should read Dodge 5500 HEAVY.
Thing makes like a submarine in soft ground.

i dont think they are the best i know he has vibration issues above 110 but we think thats all in the rims and tires....
they are a comercial tire believe u can get them in regular semis sizes to...

this quote has alberta douche canoe written all over it :D
fixed it for u
see no the truck with the train horn had alberta douche bag written all over it...
this is one of the most functional rigs.. 8)
-
Its a nice build for sure... be proud of the craftsmanship but.... most functional? Personally I think a TJ with a shitty 30 year old tent trailer could go farther into the bush then that redneck mobile ever could dream of. And do it for a tenth the money and gas.
-
theres pictures of it in the rock course on clays camera.... and theres plenty of video of it in the mud at the overlander rally
-
yeah its going to be a work rig
You guys that are spouting off about how this build is crap are missing the point. What's been done here is taking a 1-ton and making it suitable to run really, really craptacular roads. Not off-road...not technical wheeling....not big mud bogs....but really crappy roads in really crappy conditions. How many of you have run the ANC (Valleyview)? The Sheep Creek (Grande Cache)? The Upper Level (Hudson's Hope)? The North Chungo (Drayton Valley)? The Sukunka (Chetwynd)? The Bigstone (Fox Creek)? The Shekiele (Zama)? How about driving from Hinton to Whitecourt the back way?
One day flogging a stock one-ton over those roads and you'd understand immediately why this truck was modified.
-
amen to that
damn u brought back some memories there... they dont call it bigstone for no reason that road is made with giant stones... i drove a 1/2 150 km round trip down that road in muddy shitty snowy conditions and the exhaust was hangin off one manifold and one seriously knarly tire....
i dont miss those days driving all those roads... but heres a good one for u i lived in whitecourt for a year and my grandfather is old GIS seismic drill push from the early days...he tells me a story of whitecourt and sleeping in his pickup on the gravel road (the 43)
-
This is an awesome build. Like Tod says built to drive backroads safely in some really crappy driving conditions A tj pulling a tent trailer just could not survive.
-
its really hard to tell caus ei dont have the greatest pictures of it but look at the deck mounting....
we had this thing right twisted up and the trailer was straight....
hard mounted on one side shackles on the other
