Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

In my best forest gump impersonation, " John is one of my best good friends" ha i drove accross the country with him to go to top truck this past year and were meeting up at sema this year as we did last year. Hes an awesome dude tell him youve been stalking joels build thread ha hes flying down to my house next week to finish it all up and drive out to las vegas!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

that's awesome. purely awesome. There is so much weld porn in this thread, it makes me happy.

As for John, I don't know him personally or anything, just admire his kick ass wheels. I wish i could afford a set of his recentered H1's for my crawler. Tell him i would be glad to advertise for him if he'd cut me a deal!

Chris! i broke my phone the 2nd day getting the truck off the trailer and stupid verison would only send me my new phone to my address in new mexico. Im so sorry we didnt meet up ill p.m. you cause i need to send you those fenders, my bad man. Looks like ill need to drag you out here to come blast around haha

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Thank you so much for all your support throughout the entire process, it was always kinda sweet cause anytime i would post up a new pic you were one of the first people to post about it! (friggen stalker! :lol:)

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Hahaha well that was just to bring it to the show, its kinda a screwey job, they want you to back your truck off the trailer and drive it to your spot at the show. Im sure its alot easier when you have a little rice rocket honda civic with just wheels a coffee can exhaust and a walmart system. Compared to this piece of crap with a 572 blown alcohol injected motor you have 0 seat time in. Im only speaking from experience ha. Super hard to drive with front and rear spools full time 4wd stupid amount of power cant hear anything no sway bars and only been driven once lol.

Thanks buddy, i have a matching front one just didnt have it on in the picture, i broke my phone so didnt get any pics of it at sema i think my wife has alot but that involves me getting them off a camera and on to the computer. Unfortuantly i suffer from that disease called lazyness

Its actually a vynil wrap done by a local company provided by monster energy

Thanks buddy it was a blast just way too much walking haha.

Thanks alot man, shoot im just a 25 year old kid building a truck out of a 2 car garage in the middle of new mexico. What i lack in talent and "killer skills" i try to make up with hard work.

Thanks buddy, its kinda funny cause your one of the few people who has seen it evolve 180 degrees from the first days on pirate to now!

Haha thanks man i know what a piece of junk!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Seriously thanks everyone for all the support ive said it many times, im just a 25 year old kid building a truck out of a 2 car garage in new mexico. I have an incredibly patient and tolerant wife and im still trying to learn somthing new every day. I really dont have that much tallent i just try to work hard and learn off of what has worked (and what hasnt) on others builds and put my touch in along the way. When i go work on my truck i have the opinion that as long as when i go outside to work on it it looks different when i go back in then im making progress and going in the right direction.

Thanks again so much for all the support and criticism if anybody is ever in southern new mexico please dont hesitate to P.M. me so we can get together and go blast around!

Oh i forgot, only as long as you pay for the alcohol/ methanol which i think was right around 18 dollars a gallon when i left. :lol:

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

No worries. I'd love to take a ride in that beast! My son (3yrs old) is huge into moster trucks so I'll be bringing my wingman with me. lol I'm glad sema went good for you. I'll call you on my next set of days off. I need to bounce a few ideas off you to see what you think. Next time you are in Vegas, Drinks are on me!

Chris

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Uh yea, I know a good build when i see one!

side note: I still need to call John about a set of recentered H1's. I think i will do that at then end of this month.

You're doing better than I am at 25! What do you do for work?

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha thanks man, well this past may i just finished up getting my masters in cellular and molecular biochemistry. In june got hired on as a bio chemist at a cheese factory then once monster came through as a title sponsor in august i started working on the truck full time. I have recieved early acceptance to a few medical schools but to be honest i think i want to build race blown monster trucks, tube frame chassis, or ultra 4 koh style buggies. My wife likes plan a better and do the trucks in my free time haha.

I bet she does like plan a first! :lol: Good luck with it all dude!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

25?! Crazy! Im 26 now and there is no way i could imagine myself building that truck! It has been pretty awesome going from day one on buttpirate to where it is now!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

I was gonna throw up a video of its first start up but stupid thing says invalid file. Its only 1.32 mb 15 second clip but it wont let me upload it. Any tips or i could just send the file to someone else and they could give it a try.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

I haven't found an easy way to embed a video here. I link a video from YouTube and still have to change some language to make it work. Maybe someone else has an easy button. My YouTube videos only share with a link so you can't browse them.

i just finished reading this all 15 pages, and i am just amazed on what you have done. great work, i am envious. altho i do have a question tho, how much did it cost to have those wheels made? PM me the details if you want.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha thanks man! Well the wheels are made by john staszak at Stazworks. He builds one off custom 4x4 steel wheels for alot of the top truck challenge trucks as well as many others. My front tires are 20X14's and the rears are 20x12's all double beadlocked, hands down he builds the best wheels and there all in house. Check out his website (stazworks.com)and you'd have to call him for pricing ect. He has a haas cnc machine so all those cool tabs i have he made for me and he also does rear steer kits. So hes definalty not one dimensional doing just wheels. If you call him tell him joel with the piece of crap suburban sent you and he will help ya out ha.
