I will have to check that issue out. Thanks for the heads-up.. even if it wasn't directed at me.

After having bought the issue; I think you're talking about the Matt .. (from the UFC)'s truck.. I like it, but it's not a long-travel, it's just a regular 4x4.. iirc (can't find the magazine right now tho)

Hey slick65, once you figure out how to post pictures go on over to the 4x4 forum and check out the thread titled "Let's see how many 60-66 4x4's are out there" Welcome to the forums. Is that a big back window truck? And yes Dino's truck is awesome.

I think the heat is getting to you my friend.. all laughing randomly like that.. :lol:

Another thought though; doesn't the air-bag system kind of negate the offroad-ability of the truck, considering that you're relying on the air ride to stay intact on what could be a rough landing, if you ever fly it.. and being in AZ, you definitely have the opportunity :smoke:

IMO these buggies with air bag suspension will be put through a lot more abuse than his truck will.
