Friend emailed me these pictures of a SoCal Kodiak. I don't know who's it is, but it's one of the best i've seen yet.

Supposedly has some 27" of rear travel with the airbags and is running 4.0 King Kong by-pass shocks all around.

Looks like Alcoa Super Singles, 10 lug 22.5" with some big cement mixer size tires. About 45" tall tires iirc.

It's a monster for sure.

me neither, not a big fan of the wide super-singles...he needs some more chrome or polished metal to make it not such a big black blob with funny looking tires...JMO

Thats hands down the most white trash thing I have seen out side of a ford forum.

I don't know if I would call it white trash. . . It's a ~$100k truck that was usefully modified for what he needs it to do.

I still think it's pretty bad ass.

It would be useless with anything other than a flatbed....just a cruiser unable to haul the fifthwheel toyhauler.

The tires outside the fender thing....looks too much like one of those "skateboarded" ricers. I personally don't care for that look. Throws crap all over the side of the truck and chips the paint really bad.

But, I do like the rear suspension. Kind of crazy with the rear diff bracing.

I beg to differ. My friend Andy has a similar truck that we did a twin setup on and he uses it for hauling all the time. There are pictures of it around here somewhere. He had to modify the fifth wheel trailer for the extra height, but that thing works and looks great. Why not have the super heavy duty drive line and make it look nice while you get the work done? Each to their own. :rolleyes:

unless he has changed the air bag setup around or made some major modifications since those pics i highly doubt he is pullin 27" of wheel travel.

where are the 4.0 shocks?

Awsome, I like the wide-set wheels.

27'' 's? Not with that bed on.....
