greasezerk Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Looks pretty good, keep it up. Those tires are the 46 inch truxus super swampers, not the 50 inch irocks, or rather 49's. They have 44 inch boggers, 46 inch truxus and the 49 inch irocks. later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romell R Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Bro heres a word of warning "Never let your project sit!" just find something eles within the project to work on. Keep the wheel rolling, even if you have to go do some reserch on 4X4's (looking at pictures of nice trucks). once you let that fire burn out its gonna be surper hard to get it started again. Heres a few Ideas i hope will get you goin again. 1. scartch build a stereo equipment, 2. make a spare tire mount for the bed. 3. detail the chassis with nuts and bolts. 4. weather the chassis, 5. make sunvisors . these are some of the things I do to keep the buil going. You get it just do anything to keep the fire burning. Im looking forward to you finishing this one. Keep ya head up bro TTYL. Romell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
