I thought you fell out of the truck at first, and that made me happy.
Oh and great works of works. You really have came a long way from the last rig....

Good work. This will get a sweet rig when it's done. I love the oddball ones!
Doing some measuring... if I use superduty outers on a Dana 70 rear, I’ll have to make the rear axle 2 inches wider to leave my shocks in the same spot, that won’t be noticeable. And then I can reuse my gears and locker, all I would need custom would be inner axle shafts. And I’ll just use 2 longside inners and have them cut down and resplined.
Also, I have everything off of a trencher I cut up for the hydraulic side of it. It had the electronics to make the steering wheel control both axles with 3 options. 1 way it would turn both axles the same way to crab walk. 1 way it would turn both axles opposite. And the other way obviously it only turned the front axle. You could also manually steer the rear. it just had sensors on both axles and the rear either copied or did the opposite as the front, pretty sweet setup. The orbital valve also had a 5th line off the side, I’ll have to do some more research on that...

You should also do a lock out on the rear axle.
Just drove it down and weighed it. It’s waaaaay way lighter than I thought. Any guesses? I even double checked the scale was zerod after.
DROVE IT, don’t miss that part.
5869 after you turned it of and on

I will be unhappy if that thing weighs that much less than mine.
6250
5799
7250
Stock was 6100 with me, it currently weighs 6760 with me, but I’ve got some stuff to do still, I’m guessing it’ll be right around 6700-6800 empty when done. Which is 1200 pounds lighter than I thought it would be lol.
Here’s some pictures and another video, hope you’re not sick of videos yet. Kodiak is coming along nice, have the headache rack about done and the rear of the bed is complete, 31 feet of welding around the edge of the dovetail...

In all it's glory!
He won't...he doesn't even login to ck5 anymore, hasn't in years. Plus, I'm sure most of his pics in his thread over on pirate are gone with photobucket ruining the internet, I haven't checked in a long time though.
I’m friends with him on Facebook, it was kind of what I got my idea from
