I love the "almost bone stock" line. Other than 38" tires, lift kit, wheel hubs with reduction gearing, massive fender flares and replacing the back seat with a 60 gallon fuel tank this thing just rolled off of the showroom floor. Oh, they specifically mention that the front driveshaft is stock but left out the rear driveshaft so it is possible there was a little tinkering back there as well.

There's 40-50,000 dollars worth of work on that truck at least. Arctic Truck's standard packages start around there, and this one is all custom (more so than normal).

There is a contingent out there that considers a car "nearly stock" so long as you haven't touched the engine.

It would be pretty cool to run that truck through the snow and ice. They said that the tires are $800 each and they were worn out by the end of the journey so roughly $1 per mile in tire costs.

I wonder where they were able to re-fuel on the route.
