Both of you guys have excellent brown duallys. That makes me want a lifted dually on swampers more than ever!

lycominghunter · 02-16-2011, 02:24 PM

Your truck looks awesome. Any recent updates? What motor is in it/going in it? A cummins perhaps?

Blue'72 · 02-16-2011, 05:53 PM

Very nice!!!

DetroitDan · 02-17-2011, 08:35 PM

Nice truck. Doesnt look like the flatbed is going to cover the rear wheels though, do you have something in mind for that? I need to find some nice big tires like that.

Maybe you beat me to it, but your truck has the same name as my truck. I plan on lettering it on the tailgate.

y5mgisi · 02-17-2011, 08:47 PM

Dang! Lovin it! Looks like the definition of "root-beer brown"!

65Short · 02-17-2011, 11:20 PM

What is the name of the color? I'm digging it. It's not something you see every day.

travo77 · 02-17-2011, 11:57 PM

BIGJWEAVER · 03-27-2011, 09:44 PM

Just checkin in....made a move to south GA , just got the new shop built but truck is still at shop in FL, but plan on picking it up soon so I can cont. its been killing me not working on it for 3 months, but i will get on it and get some new picks, first thing is the new lift.....

madcow75 · 03-27-2011, 10:20 PM

Okay correct me if I am wrong you have 13x36x16 swampers. Is that on a factory steel rim or an aftermarket rim. Factory steel rims are 7" wide are they not. What are yours? I am looking to go with what you have for tires and rims. I love the look.

BIGJWEAVER · 03-28-2011, 09:59 PM

Madcow right now it has 34x11.5 on it with the stock rim which is 7 inches...right , when i get my 6 inch lift i will run 13x36 swampers same look going with tsl's instead of ssr's those tires on it now came on the truck when i got it....anyway some people may dissagree with me but it has worked for me for 16 years, the 13x36 on the 7 inch rim will touch in the rear but whatever....bolt them on flat and air them up.....like i said havent had a problem in 16 years with the old "Their gonna rub and blow out" Thing, so will keep doing what i do, but you can buy a pair of overpriced spacers, if you look at one of those first pics of mine with the f-350 in the back ground it has 37.41.5's on it with no spacers and i have 46,000 miles on those tires so it kinda up to you on how you want to go, with a dually you just have so much room to play without spacers.

BIGJWEAVER · 03-28-2011, 10:01 PM

And by the way to me its hard to beat a black powdercoated steelie.....The look is so TUFF....

Newtz67 · 03-28-2011, 10:11 PM

Thats a hell of a truck you've got there! Nice!

justpball · 03-29-2011, 05:58 AM

Very nice!!! Love the color!

madcow75 · 03-29-2011, 08:51 AM

I just had to ask/make sure you were running stock 7" steel wheels with a 11.5" wide tire now. I look forward to see the even bigger tire on it also. Go big or go home. I love it. Are you going to have the new bigger tires on this year?

**oldwagon** · 03-29-2011, 11:32 AM

Two good looking machines! I don't ever plan to go that far with mine, as all I want it to do is pull whatever I hook up to!

Pop's C-10 · 03-29-2011, 02:43 PM

I lovw that color...

thirdstreettito · 03-29-2011, 04:44 PM
