That looks like Altitude with Attitude! You could call it ABOVE SEA LEVEL and never be wrong. Sweet ride.

Big J · 07-28-2009, 06:10 PM

I'd hope you never need it but a nice "THIS SIDE UP" sticker on the bumper would be cool too, lol.....

hgs_notes · 07-28-2009, 12:52 PM

There's a guy near here that races snowmobiles. They go under "buck-snort racing" I always loved that one.

How about:
Compactor
Grave Who?
Your Name Here $1000
Mud Stomper
Muderately Insane
Monster Truck Rides $20

62 short step · 09-15-2009, 08:40 AM

WOW!!

nvrsatisfied · 09-18-2009, 11:32 AM

thanks for the offer on the tires, if things work out i will be hitting you up probably in about 365 days, unless i find something close around here

. we started milling out the bung fittings for my hyme joints this week...my buddy is doing them on his lunch time..i am getting so impatient it's killing me, i want it sitting on it's own that's all i ask

but i know i gotta take time.

what kind of square tubing you useing 2"x2" 1/4" wall?? i would have to say it's the first i have seen it this way. what springs are you going with?

keep up the great work, can't wait to see it going!!!!!!!

tallhoedude · 09-18-2009, 11:56 AM

YEP 2X2 1/4" WALL.
ive seen a few done with it.
i didntr want to use anything bigger,didnt want the double framed look.
it was about 1/2 the cost of dom.
my tcase cradle was made from the same stuff,so i kept with the same theme,kinda liked the square look.
im not that good with bending tube,didnt wanna spend $$ for experimenting.
it will hold,im not worried.

as for springs,ive got a set of f350 diesel superduty front springs,they're about 26" tall,however may be too tall for me,im waiting on some 4link brackets to be cut now,then i can finish axle and get springs in and see how it sits.

yep,waiting sucks BAD!!!
