Well it's supposed to be my mud truck, but I'll see what happens when it's done. Of course if someone wants it bad enough I might sell it, but they are gonna have to want it pretty bad. $$$$$

Awsome work, can't wait to see it with bigger tires on it, right now it looks like a monster truck when they have the little tractor tires on for transportation. what size tires you going with anyway?

Can you park a regular pickup next to it so we can judge just how HUGE this thing is?
Thanks

dang it!!! i just realized you're in J-town - i was just down there all this week...
btw - how do you like your brakes; have you been able to test them much yet? ready for that write-up and have more thoughts on 'kitting' it yet?

The brakes seem to be working good. They worked real good with the 11.00/20's on it, but I knew adding 2,000 pounds of rolling weight was gonna have some affect, but they still work very well. I think if I stood on them hard enough I could get all four tires to slide. They may improve once they break in, I put about 20 miles on it today, but not much stopping. Here are a couple pics for size comparison. Oh, and as far as making brake kits, they will have to be in the future sometime. I'm about to start work with the fire department here in Jax, and the first year I will be busy studying. But, after I get settled in, I'll probably build a kit and see how well it sells, then go from there.
