Thunderbolt III

Cripes that thing is huge. It ain't going back in the garage. What are the green wheels for? Winter driving?

tallhoedude · 07-06-2009, 10:22 AM

The green wheels are my r2's they have a 4" deep lug,mostly used for swamps and really deep stuff.

Or if you needed to do some spring plowing out in the field...

We have trucks just like that all over the place here, except we call'em tractors.

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.

hgs_notes · 07-28-2009, 08:12 AM

Anything that ginormous has to have a name like "Thunderbolt". What are ya gonna call it?
