Excellent thread! Enjoyed every detail and love the build you made :) That kodiak ambulance looks like the bees knees, have to keep my eyes out for one.

It's always fun firing up a rig at -40... I would be EXTREMELY surprised if that frame flexed at all with that "load" on it.

I like the write up. Only coming here to disagree with this one sentence haha. Duratracs are one of the best all around tires out there. That being said, why they put them on a truck in Texas I don't understand. Down there they are pretty useless haha.

The government paid over $750k for the shelter alone? I am far from an expert but I highly doubt that... Maybe $750 with all the military goodies that filled the inside of it haha. Either way that seems like a good deal for $45k

Pics?

A thing of pure beauty. It's always nice seeing a build with such attention to detail, especially on the older machines. Love it

Computer won't let it go into 4lo while you're moving.

This is all cool and stuff. I just wish the manufacturers would bring back manual transmissions...

Boats are fun! Glad you got to enjoy needed family time. Excited to see this thing finally done. A guy on my old 4x4 forum in BC back in the day SAS'd one of these on 40's and his build thread was the same level of detail as yours. Can't wait to see the finished product.

What he said^^ narrow rim is the poor mans bead lock. And remember; no donuts when you're aired down!

When you're being dumb and playing around water and decide to go WOT through a hole no deeper than half your tire... Engine is asking for a lot of air and will suck in whatever is around/near it. Ask me how I know... haha.

Very nice truck! I read the thread but didn't see it mentioned anywhere; do you get any wind noise from your hood lights? I'm wanting to do the same setup with my ram

Living dangerously, I can respect that.

Ya I miss my 8' box that I had on my Cummins, never had to think about what could or couldn't be put in it... Now that I have my ram with the crew cab I have the shortest bed possible, and I put a big Knaack box in the back, I barely even have a pick up anymore haha.

Pray to the sweet lord you don't have a chain let go; say goodbye to your body panels haha.

Checking in from Revscene. Those Falkens are sure wearing pretty nicely, I just put duratracs on my truck but when I move back down south at some point might have to look in to them. Logging is one thing I really want to do (logging truck driver) before I don't have time to drive truck...

Taking a full size on a jeep/toy trail is asking for a fun time. You will dent some stuff... People do it, but don't expect to come out unscathed. It's the equivalent of taking a toy/jeep on a quad trail

Just read the entire thread. Love the truck and you have definitely done an excellent job with it! I used to have a 2nd gen with the nv5600 but it was an utter piece of ****. You name it, it probably broke on that truck. And all it did was live on the freeway from Port Moody to Abbotsford while...

Just read the thread. Living vicariously through you!

That's awesome! Love that setup. Definitely an inspiration for sure. What's your clearance from the camper overtop of your cab? Looks bloody tight, not worried about the frame flexing the camper into the cab?
