This is a bad idea. lol


I know right? grin

I can't believe the engineers at Ford didn't provide this as an option! Well, I'm sure they suggested it, but then the Ford lawyers heard about it and said nah.

I will say the old NAS D90 had all of that, minus about 1/2 the horse power. See link for new specs. They pulled it off by over-beefing everything to a crazy degree and bumped the weight way, way up. Axles like semi's. They only weigh several hundred pound less than a full sized 4-door civilian Hummer. That's just crazy. I had mine tuned up another 100hp to just under 500HP on the dyno and that V8 literally growled. In neutral, a hard step on the gas would lift the entire truck up an inch or so. 5 speed manual with full time 4WD high (not AWD) and I could still burn my meats in 3rd. Could lock out any wheel at any time and put all that 500HP into a single wheel. 10K winch on front and back. I could go over your house. Only got it stuck once when I took it off a sweet jump and landed in about 10 feet of Colorado powder. That was a sucky, cold dig out.
