Re: My Build Begins!
thanks guys.
actually you can float on 4 tires! My buddy in pa has a bronco with 66's on 5tons and it floats very well! the guys on trucks gone wild were using 48" tires,thats why they used 8 instead of just 4. oh yeah,we already have permission to float the local pond!!there will be video!

Re: My Build Begins!
Love the transformation bud, I have been a monster truck lover since the 80's and it still enjoyable to see how they used to make them. You need to get a license plate on there saying "Mad Dog" like the old Blazer Monster Truck. Good luck with the rest of the build.
