What did we just buy?! Are we in over our heads?! Kodiak 4500 Expedition Rig 

Just wait! This one is getting the full treatment!

Learned that!

So many hours put it! Thank you!

That are was amazing in Fall!

😂 your not wrong! ‘Merica 🤙🏻

Thank you! We are loving how its coming together!

Hahahah

Thanks so much! We love the rig it’s coming together very nicely! Thanks so much for following along!

Love the rig! Remember what carrier you used and the approximate cost to go from OK to AZ? I’m shopping for one out of state!

@w8lifter21 I used the app Uship. Was about $2k for 1k miles.

Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!

The weight of the camper helps to settle it down a bit but yes it needs air ride!

Ya I replaced both engine harnesses. All good since.

That sounds like an awesome build!

Major wiring issues actually. Replaced the entire engine harness

@JensenAdventuresaz kindly discuss the well known elephant in the room; DEF sensors disable motor.

He was a great dude!

It worked great when it was on!

For sure 👍🏻

We paid $40k. That's about what a 4x4 diesel 4 door Kodiak will go for. Anywhere from $35-$55k. I will say we overpaid given everything that needed done but that's the risk buying anything used. We are very happy with where the truck is now.

@@JensenAdventuresaz I just looked at one like yours with a similar lift in California. He’s asking $68,000. I think that’s high considering it needs a lot of little things Tidied up around the truck. There’s lots of loose wires hanging from all the aftermarket wiring and lights they put on. It has a vinyl wrap that’s not that good looking on it whoever did it didn’t do the best job. And if I were to get the truck I wouldn’t be able to tow a fifth wheel trailer because the bed of the truck is way too high off the ground. So I have to lower it like you did in your video which is a ton of work and I have to get smaller tires and rims for it. The good news about the truck is I’m able to get it registered in California and pass all the California air resources board inspections which is a problem when you buy these trucks in California most of them were banned out of the state. The guy told me that because it had a Monroe bed from the factory that’s how he was able to get it registered in the state. If it had a flatbed like yours would be considered another type of vehicle and not eligible for registration in California. The whole thing doesn’t make any sense.

@@JensenAdventuresaz how much did you put into it?

@@GrowingUpGarden yes it sounds like the truck is overpriced. Probably because he knows it’s rare to be able to get one registered in CA. I’m from there I know how the crazy laws can be. If you have any questions about the trucks let me know I have learned a lot about them in the last year rebuilding ours! They are awesome trucks when everything is sorted out!

@@GrowingUpGarden we have put about $20k into it. But we had to rebuild our transmission which was $8500. And I’ve done some upgrades and modifications that others would not have to do.

Driveshaft was disconnected when it was towed.
