Insane $750K Big Block Luxury Pre Runner Going Hard 

Good luck with the wife…and I think k this ride got me hooked to start diving into some off roading

It was so much fun riding in this thing!

I wouldn’t. You can build a 2018 Chevy 1500 with dirt kings full length suspension build that’s 75% as capable as this truck for only 30k with labor on top of the price of the truck. You could spend another 5k and get a used tremec t56 6 speed trans, clutch, supercharger and supporting mods for the supercharger. For around 70k including the truck you can have a truck that can do almost everything this can. Plus the average person won’t be taking something like this to the ultimate limit and won’t ever use it to its full potential like a pro driver would so why spend all that money when you can get something that matches what you’re capable of doing. 700k is a rip off.

@@WhiteOwlOnFire_XXX you're ignoring the 15 years of experience they have doing something like that. Years of racing know how. Sure the kits come, but you'll either need to know how to tune all of that and have it work right together; or figure out how to do it yourself. Maybe they come pre-tuned but if so I'm sure that's part of the reason those kits are so expensive. Manhours and the amount of people you have helping you is huge when doing a project like this. Again, it's not impossible but researching the amount of know how you would need to do something like even what you talked about would be huge. A 3-4 years if done by yourself, at least if you're also working full time. Having friends to help maybe a year or two. Even with all that, the suspension geometry and hold up of parts are vastly different. Just look at the length and thickness of the control arms. This isn't a pavement princess. It's meant to reliably do thousand mile races on dirt, sand, gravel, rocks, or whatever else happens to be on the ground. While doing 90-100 mph as much as possible. Not a couple of laps on the local dirt bike track or local off road park maybe doing 50-70 and thinking you're going fast compared to something like what this truck is capable of. To add on this, someone buying this truck probably knows how to drive it. Why else would they buy a custom pre-runner like this. This is a piece of engineering artwork that also happens to be extremely functional. Everything is not only for show, but dialed in to the millimeter. Like the air solenoid on the transmission from a jet that controls the shifting. Mindsets like yours are the reason we can't have nice things anymore. Everyone complains ab cost so we end up with cheap pieces P(s)OS then complain its cheap P(s)OS. Go buy your kits. No one is stopping you. This is something else, in it's own league, and that's why it's in it's own price league. It's quality, cutting edge, and extremely pretty craftsmanship and engineering. Not to say you can't do something like this in your garage, as in you literally will be able to because they're going to sell it as a kit (which will prob be a bit cheaper), but it would take a while to say the least. Did you even watch the video?

@@WhiteOwlOnFire_XXX but your screen name alone would require a special fire suppression system to be designed and installed, not to mention the exhorbitant insurance adjustment due to your spontaneously combustive tendencies... 😁

it’s a bot orgy,gross

That’s right!

@@AutotopiaLA congrats to you, and your team!!! Keep up the great work 👍

That was true about five years ago. AWD took a win from the 2WD crowd at that point and have been getting better ever since, now all the top teams are either in the process of switching or already have. In the next five years, 2WD trophy trucks will still be around and reliably finishing, but they won't be winning it. You'll basically need AWD if you want any hope at all of winning in the future.

It was his first time driving this trail. By our 2nd time through he was getting more comfortable which translates to faster! Fun time riding with Elliott

@@AutotopiaLA No kidding? He's a pro driver then? He handled the course and vehicle so easily I thought that's where he took potential customers to show of the truck.

Go big or go home 🇺🇸

Insane the quality of build they do! I need a lot more $$$ lol!

Love the comment!

Every time! Love our two teams working together

Thanks for the appreciation!

For sure

Thanks dude!

Cool guy. Great driver and has built a stellar company!

Definitely had me on edge but mostly had a blast! They’re building top quality machines for sure

Thank you and it was a treat for the whole team to shoot. Especially me and that insane ride along!

The team was definitely working hard but love how this video turned out! And I got an amazing ride along!!

Thank you and definitely a top quality build and team at Armada

I agree,very good work👌🏾

Thank you! Loving the work my crew is putting in on the newer content!!!

Stellar build from Armada

Agreed all the way

I was a bit nervous but mostly had a blast!!

That’s the truth!

Now I just need the big $$ to come rolling in lol! Working on it

You’re one of the few that understand it. We try educating people but they always fight it which is comical to me especially when we show a build on this level

Had a blast! Elliott and his team build fantastic vehicles and he’s a helluva driver!

Thanks! I’ll be in your neighborhood tomorrow…Harley day with this weather!

Same for me! Especially on our horrible LA streets

And justified with the quality of work, parts, etc

That’s right…insane fun!

Exactly! It was obvious he was getting more comfortable and I’m glad we didn’t go for a third lap through lol!

Priceless!

Same here in LA…we have the 4th worst roads in the country!!

Just shot with them last week! That episode will be up next week and they’re awesome!

Thank you! The amount of work and quality of the work is top notch

Saudi guys can just buy these from the US and have them shipped. They can afford it

Liwa.

Saudis will just buy and fly it over lol

...or they will disappear in a container bound for the Middle East.

They wont buy these….they love their FunCo Buggies over there 😂

lol! Gonna keep working in some off roading to the channel cause it’s a blast!

Thanks and definitely a top quality build and ride!

Amazing how capable the build is and the driver. Such a fun day!

The electronics will be fine. All the hardware is sealed and from looks of it its wired the same way. Motec screens use a super seal connector. You boot it then its going to be watertight. Im guessing it has ECUmaster pdms which are similar.

@trophyburro gave a great response here

Good thing all electronics in this truck are designed for marine environments, so they can withstand all moisture AND dirt/dust as well as any vibrations 🤘🏼

Thank you and Elliott and his team sure can build a beast!

Thank you!

That’s right! 🤘

He can drive ANYWHERE! Pure talent 🤌🏻

I always do! I’m a pro at getting scared lol!!

Yes yes and hell YES!! What a blast shooting this!

Thanks!

@@AutotopiaLA where your from LA? I’m Malibu)

@@dylanrc2994 grew up in OC and LA a lot of my life

@@AutotopiaLA I'm European, but I really liked Malibu, Winding Way. East Winding Way

I’m like BMW)))

lol! What a blast to get a ride with Elliott in this truck!!

That’s for sure! He’s a pro thankfully

So crazy!

He’s the man!
