Good Laugh doghead

Duke.... the rack is custom and that is only way you can get one. Probably cost couple grand if its a high dollar shop; or lot of beer and price of tube, if its a friend with a bender.

M1079 trucks (one with the box already there) prices are all over the place. $12,000 to $30,000

Profo made his with his aluminum box and all his modifications including high speed gears and it is a 3126 truck. I think he told me hes only in it 25k or so and it looks and probably is alot nicer than that truck.

didn't he build it himself though.... if so ... add labor and profit if your using a builder and that triples the cost.

The truck pictured looks like Adventure driven m1079. He is a member on here. You could pm him. He had a lot of work done to it.

No offense to Profo but I've seen Adventure Driven's truck in person and other than those couple of dings in the side of the box the truck is immaculate and the interior of the box is even nicer. And yes it has high speed gears, AC, and now, about 1000 offroad lights on the cab rack. Again, not trying to say one is better than the other just that this truck is extremely nice and not easy to tell from one pic.

Price will vary a lot due to
1. The fact everyone has there own taste in what amenities they want on the truck.
2. How much work you can do yourself.
3. Price of your base model truck.

Just a few examples. I could list more but I’m sure by the time I get this pecked into my phone it’ll probably already be answered. Lol

Previously mentioned prices is a idea on costs.

similar price for some Unimog builds and they are typically built on used (but renewed) trucks as well. While IMHO both are overpriced..... do believe Acela does completely renew their trucks like a high dollar Unimog builder would as well.

Buy a zero mile SD Brazos 4x4 with Cummins power for $40K here in Houston at Worldwide Machinery. They are getting desperate to sell them.
