I have gone where most will no go. I am in the process of adding a 2nd drive axle. I am doing the work myself. As you can tell from the pics. I have came a long ways. I just have the bed work to finish the project. I will be extending the bed & dully fenders to have a full bed. Let me know what you think.The reason I am doing this is to handle the toy hauler better on the road.

To each, their own. :) The truck is definitely quite a beast. :BWith the tripple trailer axles, especially with them positioned so far forward on the trailer as yours are, with all or most of the garage area behind the trailer axles, I can't imagine the pin weight of the trailer being too much for a single dually axle to handle.How are you intending to connect the driveshaft between the 2 rear axles?

Yes it is quite a beast. :C Don't forget to post pics when your project is finished.

Iam planing on useing a NV-200 transfur case to tie it all to geather. That is another phase of the project. I just wanted to get the truck done as it is my only truck I got to tow hauler with. Thanks for asking.

Now that's Redneck as all get out.......:B----But I like it.... lol

Nice. My kids are now watching this thread and want to know when I am going to build one now. They have requested a 4-door model though. And of course the boy (@5) wants it to be either fire engine red (like yours) or BRIGHT GREEN (almost neon).

Yes. I can almost see this one ahead of time. There is alot of work involved in building a truck such as this. But I can say it was built in USA.

Pics of sleeper I got yesterday for it. I gutted everything out of it today. Now I am thinking of a floor plan that will best suit the kids with a big bunk.
