Tuff Truck
I drive a 'tuff truck' several times a year. It's basically like the stadium trucks you see at monster truck shows, except the trucks are basically stock (to run at the venue I run most, it has to be) There are some venues/classes you can run with a more modified (more expensive) truck.
It's a 87 (?) Jeep Comanche Eliminator...this is what I started with:

Re: Tuff Truck
First the truck gets gutted..... Then it went for paint (no high dollar job...a friend did it in his back yard...no sense paying big $ when it might just hit a wall or 2 the first time out)
