portal boxes at the end of the axles, which i didn't even know what a thing seperately able to be added... 8.1, 4L80e, etc.

:nutz:

With the additional 1.5:1 gearing of the portals along with the 4.56 ring-and-pinion, I now have a final axle ratio of 6.84:1. To deal with that, I upgraded to an automatic overdrive from Gearstar Transmissions. The 4L80 came with the big-block, but I sent it to Gearstar to be rebuilt and dyno’d. The result is a transmission with grunt for wheeling and overdrive gearing for highway cruising.

:eek3:

could idle up a building :rofl:

I love Fred Williams. Just seems like a genuinely happy guy. He posts on steel soldiers sometimes with cucv questions. Sadly his first one was stolen.



I will say, they went a bit far with all the holes in the sides :rofl: but this truck is also the reason I put my exhaust where it is.

Sooo much money tho. Fred has a ton of sponsors which is cool I guess but fuck that thing has to have 100k in stuff throw at it over the years. Bad ass truck tho
But early episodes he wasn't working with much of a budget at all and they were all personal vehicles. I'm happy he's gotten money these days from sponsors.



With that said, those portals are not cheap neither are the maxxis tires he uses
