2007 Ford F450

X-TREME TOYZ WAS STARTED EIGHT YEARS AGO AS A "LOW-PROFILE" COMPANY that would design trucks for the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada. It wasn't long before the company's down-low status had to be abandoned when CEO Mike Duval started getting flooded with requests for one-off parts once his customized trucks went on display. Now, he's been building wild project trucks for eight years, and here is his latest transformer: the Shaker 4x450.

SUPER SINGLE REAR WHEEL CONVERSION

Your eyes are not deceiving you, the Shaker has only four wheels, even though it started out as a F-450 dualie. At each corner of the Super Duty, you'll find a giant Toyo 40 x 15.50 R22 M/T Open Country mud tire wrapped around chrome 22x9-inch (front) and 22x12.25-inch (rear) American Force wheels.

FABTECH LIFT AND FAB FOURS BUMPERS

To get the big tires to fit, the F-450 was raised with a 10-inch Fabtech suspension lift and a Dirt Logic 4.0 shock kit with remote reservoirs in front and dual 2.25-inch shocks in the rear. The suspension gets additional control from an X-Treme Toyz front sway bar system. The front and rear of the truck are protected by the 3/16-inch steel of Fab Fours off-road bumpers.

AFE INTAKE AND BANKS SIX-GUN POWER

Power to move the big off-road tires comes from the brand-new 6.4L Power Stroke that has an easy time sucking air into the compound turbos, thanks to a high-flowing AFE cold-air intake. Output from the International-built engine is upgraded through the use of a Banks Six Gun programmer system with the Power PDA display and is combined with Banks' vented exhaust tips that are designed specifically for the '08 Super Duty.
