Diggin Dixie - Ken's Tuff Trux-New Pictures!

Hey yall! I have continued to work on my custom monster truck/show truck. Here is a sneak peak of how the truck will look completed. Hope ya like it. Thanks to Southern Design Company for their hardwork!!

This truck started out as a daily driver 2006 F250 6.0L Diesel 4x4 long-bed pickup. The process started about a year ago where I decided to build a custom straight frame for the truck. The frame is constructed out of boxed steel (4" X 3" ). I then built a complete subframe out of DOM tubing to support the truck and also to house the transfer case and also to connect the link suspension. The truck suspension is a 3-link design/wishbone setup. The wishbone is built out of 2.5" DOM tubing and the straight link bars are made out of 2.5" DOM tubing. The transfer case that the truck is running is a Super drop SCS Monster Truck case which you can find running in all of the major monster trucks. All of the rod ends are Chromalloy heim joints. The axles are CASE Planetary Axles out of a loader that have been custom braced with waterjet steel that allow the link bars to connect to the housing. The shocks holding up the truck are 3.0" King Custom built shocks with a 3.5" Spring. Also, running a 2.5" Custom built Air shock on all 4 corners to handle the compression of the suspension. The front steering is made up of 2 single hydraulic rams that allow the front to turn right to left with ease. As of right now, the body is currently mounted on the frame with custom built body mounts. Future plans for the truck will include the following:
• Custom built 24V Twin Turbo Cummins Diesel motor producing around 1400hp with 2200 ft/lbs of torque. Motor is comprised of two custom built turbos from Industrial Injection: (Phat Bastard and a silver bullet). The motor also contains a CR,Head Full, Port ZZ Fab intake( A custom sheet metal intake that connects to the head allow individual spray nozzles to connect for direct nitrous). Dual CP3 Pump kit) Motor is being built by Southern Diesel Performance and Repair in Longwood, Fl
• Custom built ATS fully billet tranny with a 5-disc torque converter
• Full Roll cage that ties into the frame for added safety
• Custom built Industrial Injection Intercooler with a spray bar
• Custom built radiator to be mounted in the bed along with tranny coolers
• Complete aluminum oil pan custom built
• All aluminum custom built fuel cell to be mounted in the bed
• 10" Custom built stacks
• 250 shot of nitrous with custom twin bottle mounting inside of the cab
• Custom made steel wheels (34" X 18"W)
• 74" R2 Tractor Tires
• Custom made drop steps that fold up and down by actuators and this can be done by the press of single button
• Full custom interior, including 4-12" Subs in a center console
• Full custom built door pods containing 6" and 4" component speakers
• 11 7" Monitors to be mounted in the cab, 2 per doors, 2 back headrest of the front seats and one in the dash
• 1 20" LCD monitor in the passenger airbag location
* I-touch molded into dash to control system and motor
* Full painted, fiberglass interior
• Strobes lights for headlights, taillights, and underneath the truck to accent the suspension as well as Blue and White neon to accent the trucks complete powder coated suspension, axles, wheels, etc..
• Full custom wrap for the entire truck
*Modded from a 2006 to 2010
*Lambo front doors and suicide rear doors complete 180 degrees
• Key note, truck stands 11' to the top on transport tires. The truck will be 13' 6" on the 74" R2 Tractor Tires without adjusting the shocks.

Yeah I was thinking on the lambo and I am like it has been done too many times. I do plan on suicide the rear doors 180 degrees..

Yeah we have custom transport tires that are being made that will allow the truck to make it out the door. Currently, right now the truck stands 11' 3" on 40" roll arounds and the truck can be adjusted another foot and half due to the King Shocks that are on it..
