40" tires on 2nd gen!

I went to Offroadsolutions.com yesterday and sitting in the parking lot was this...














Look close and you can see the center of each wheel has inflators/deflators
The guy at the shop said the owner towed it all the way from St. Louis, MO
to have them finish up installing an ARB compressor and a bunch of other wiring.

It has CTIS and is a great big SOB.

That is on the bumpstops, it only goes up from there.

I love the bike lock on the spare tire.

Like anyone is going to be able to freaking lift a 40" tire/rim let alone steal it.

Wow, I remember reading that truck's build-up thread on Pirate awhile ago.
Looks like he got it running... wonder if he's wheeled it yet.

Those 40's are not too heavy.

40" plus Swampers on steel beadlocks really test the back.

thats 4moggers from pirate. He claims that the axles, tires, and rims alone cost +20k. but he can slide a 5gal. bucket under the diff with flat tires!!!

That's cool and all but but but -- WHY ?
I don't see any dirt and suspect that it will never see any.

I'm sure that it's capable but looks more show than anything.

Not knocking it - I've got a 2nd generation that I wheel regular and it's very
capable with IFS and a locker in the rear.

Good looking rig though !

looks like a neat build-up, but it's a little pointless, the rear wheels cat't really articulate up much cause they're about a foot back in the well... like I said, neat build up, bgut not really a good trail rig... it'd be sweet in the mud tho I'd assume, can you say float?

I remember reading the build up thread on Pirate a few months back. Glad to see it's on the road... quite the craftsmanship put into that baby.

Came in on a trailer.

Pics are on the bumpstops, it only goes up.

Not done, so no wheeling pics.

Claims it is an expedition rig.

If you don't get Mogs you won't get the truck.

How much extra clearance does a mog axle get you? 2-3"?
