Vehicle Description
This is one extremely well-prepared truck for extreme off roading.
If you are checking this vehicle out, you may be either thinking
about trying some adventure traveling, or have done some already
and know how sweet this build is. The adventure comes from a couple
places. One is you. Your desire to bust through normal boundaries
and rely on your ability to meet the challenges along the way. The
other is the vehicle. This truck is capable of taking you further
out through mud, water crossings, over rocks, and up and down
severe slopes so that you can find your remote piece of paradise to
set up camp. There are way too many awesome details about this
truck to list everything out right here. We will hit the
highlights, but to get the full story, call or come down to check
it out. And, you can check out the complete build process on
PowerNation TV, XOR.
As soon as anyone sees it, they will know what this truck is all
about. The patina paint will immediately make you look like an
experienced veteran of the off-road scene, even if you are not. But
things go way beyond looks here. It is obviously ready for action
sitting up on those Mickey Thompson 17" wheels with 37X12.50s
mounted. There is also protection built in on all sides. Up front
is a custom bumper with a stinger extension surrounding the Warn
winch along with a couple auxiliary lights mounted to it. There are
stout side bars under the rockers for when that substantial lift
still doesn't provide enough clearance, and out back there is
another custom bumper and spare tire carrier. Up top there is an
ARB full sized roof tent along with an awning mounted on a D&C
Extreme 6-point cage with plenty more lighting mounted both front
and rear. To extend your range, auxiliary fuel tanks are mounted to
the sides of the cage and a very creative water reserve system can
provide the luxury of a nice shower while you are out there.
Open the door and you will find a well-equipped command center for
extreme adventures. Procar leather seats with PRP 5-point harnesses
are both comfortable for cruising as well as a safe and secure
place to get serious. A beefy wooden steering wheel is mounted on a
deep dish 3-spoke hub and tilt column. The stock dash has the
speedo in the center with water temp and oil pressure gauges on the
left and a panel with auxiliary rocker switches and a programable
MSD ignition controller on the right. The shifters for the
automatic transmission as well as the transfer case rise from the
tunnel. Behind the seats is a Westin Brute box with slide out
drawer for tools and spares with a 3000-watt inverter and auxiliary
battery mounted on one side, an air compressor on the other, along
with a refrigerator mounted on top.
Pop the hood and you will find an LS based 5.3L LM7 engine swap
from Chevrolet Performance that generates 400+ horsepower. Plenty
of fresh air is supplied to a Holley Atomic Air Force intake that
draws through a 90MM throttle body and an Atomic LS EFI system
outfitted with 38lb injectors handles the fuel delivery. Trick Flow
Gen X 225 LS cylinder heads work their combustion magic with the
help of MSD Pro Power coils and wires, and Headers from Anything
Scout get the spent gases headed out through Magnaflow mufflers. An
aluminum Summit Racing radiator with electric fan keeps everything
running cool even under pressure. Power flows back through a TH 400
transmission with Hughes flex plate to an Atlas transfer case and
then out to the front and rear axles rebuilt with 4.56 gears and
Detroit lockers. Chassis lift is provided by a DCS heavy duty leaf
spring kit with Bilstein remote reservoir shocks keeping things
under control. The steering system has been upgraded with a PCS
hydraulic assist conversion along with new knuckles, drag links and
ball joints and power 4-wheel disc brakes provide plenty of
stopping power.
This awesome truck was built by the pros at PowerNation TV and is
ready for action. Come on down and see for yourself. Then head out
and find your own adventures with it.
