No problem with diveshaft angle (I'm guessing)..

Actually there might be. The front will be a problem because of THE 19" OF LIFT! can you believe how nutty tall that is? The owner of the shop has a 14" lift on his truck and can't get enough angle out of conventional yokes to turn the front end. As for the rear from what I've been told it'll have 3 driveshafts to cover the extra length. That won't be a problem for me unless the truck has any wheel travel. If that's the case the ladder bar length will have to be considered or binding could occur. All fun stuff for me to figure out. I'm thinking I may have underbid this job more then a little/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif. Oh well every little bit helps to get the Heep on the rocks where it belongs. Happy Jeepin'

Yep, that's insane allright. I still want to see it when it's done though. Would that be legal on the highway?

There`s No Such Thing As Surface Rust

 

The laws in AZ aren't that bad, adding mudflaps and lowering the headlights should keep it legal. As for other states, I severly doubt it'll be legal. With all that weight it definately won't be a speed demon. I wish he had gone with an F450, I'd feel better if it had a big a$$ dana 135 out back. I'll be sure to post pics. I't going to be at the SEMA entrance this year, and it's going to be in several magazines so I'm sure you'll all see plenty of it. And there's plenty to see cause damn, that's a lot of Ford.

Travis,
I had to fly out to Reno yesterday from McCarron airport in Las Vegas. Because of the 8 ft height of my F250 I have to park out back in the oversize parking lot, which also happens to be where the High Rollers get picked up by the Limo's. I saw one of those limos built out of a Ford Excursion. It was massive. The license plate was "FOX 01".

Ok, NOT PRACTICAL.

If you want a vehicle you can only use on an airport runway or highway, then this is for you. You'd have to make right hand turns from the left lane just to clear intersections.

 

Was it lifted? We have several Lincoln Navigator limos out here but they're all stock height.

Matt M38A1,
I've been screaming the same thing, there's a few limos up in vegas that require a police escort, I don't know if this one will too. I don't think Limo and practical can be used in the same sentence. The word Monster makes it even worse.

Yeah exactly!!

The picture on the front page looks fake. I actually thought it was a joke at first. Then I looked at the build photos! The stretch looked fine until I realized they were putting the bed out back!! The photos taken outdoors show the true dimension (lengthwise). There's no way anybody other than a specialty company (who can arrange police escorts) could run that thing. What a waste.

 

Travis,

I don't know exactly what mods they'll allow you, but a top-loader Rockwell military axle with the double-gearing would do well for both the weight and the driveline angle.

Have you kissed your JEEP lately?

 

Why even worry with the front driveshaft. Just mock up something, the truck is too impracticle to be used in 4x4 anyway.

Your kids, SH*T you could send the whole damn school to the prom in that thing!!! /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif

 

They are going to need rear-wheel steering to navigate around town. Heck- even interstate turn-offs will require rear-wheel steering for this thing! Let me guess...the bed will actually be a sauna, right?

Actually the bed will be a jacuzzi, no I'm serious. I think the guy wants a front drive shaft although I can't tell you why he needs one. If I were responsible I'd demand some heavier axles but that's not my call, I'm just doing the ladder bars and shock hoops. I really don't want to get roped into anything else on this monstrousity but money talks and need some. I'll post some pics of the monster when I get back, should be good for a laugh.
