I hope he is going to run some links or traction bars in that thing because there is going to be some wicked axle wrap with those lift blocks on the front and rear!

Frizzle Fry · 07-06-2009, 05:41 PM

I gotta say that thing looks wicked!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-06-2009, 08:07 PM

well,dont expect to see pics of it articulating over boulders with one wheel off the ground...........but,you will see lots of pics of it in mud waist deep,floatin across the swamps and ponds,flyin up the sand dunes and if all goes well,
all 4 wheels off the ground jumping ditches and snow drifts is already planned.
this is NOT a pavement poundin mall cruiser!
if it wont perform it will be cut up and made into something that will!

tallhoedude · 07-07-2009, 08:49 AM

the big wide tires are gonna be for the fields,open mud areas and the snow.
these are what ive got for the deep mud and swamps..
they are 23.1x26 rice and cane tires,almost a 4" deep lug,these will dig straight to the bottom and then PULL!

YES,this project has taken quite the turn from "im only gonna put 35's on it and drive it" to "one tons and 40's",then 2.5 ton axles and 52's,then tractor tires,and now 5 ton axles and monster truck tires. lol.

i guess the good thing is there isnt much more options to go bigger other than planetary axles which im just not that into.plus at over 2k lbs each,planets. would just be too damn heavy to move around and work on.

AJs72K5 · 07-08-2009, 07:12 PM

So....what's goin under the hood to move all that rubber??
