Hahaha well that was just to bring it to the show, its kinda a screwey job, they want you to back your truck off the trailer and drive it to your spot at the show. Im sure its alot easier when you have a little rice rocket honda civic with just wheels a coffee can exhaust and a walmart system. Compared to this piece of crap with a 572 blown alcohol injected motor you have 0 seat time in. Im only speaking from experience ha. Super hard to drive with front and rear spools full time 4wd stupid amount of power cant hear anything no sway bars and only been driven once lol.

Thanks buddy, i have a matching front one just didnt have it on in the picture, i broke my phone so didnt get any pics of it at sema i think my wife has alot but that involves me getting them off a camera and on to the computer. Unfortuantly i suffer from that disease called lazyness

Seriously thanks everyone for all the support ive said it many times, im just a 25 year old kid building a truck out of a 2 car garage in new mexico. I have an incredibly patient and tolerant wife and im still trying to learn somthing new every day. I really dont have that much tallent i just try to work hard and learn off of what has worked (and what hasnt) on others builds and put my touch in along the way. When i go work on my truck i have the opinion that as long as when i go outside to work on it it looks different when i go back in then im making progress and going in the right direction.

Thanks again so much for all the support and criticism if anybody is ever in southern new mexico please dont hesitate to P.M. me so we can get together and go blast around!

Oh i forgot, only as long as you pay for the alcohol/ methanol which i think was right around 18 dollars a gallon when i left. :lol:

No worries. I'd love to take a ride in that beast! My son (3yrs old) is huge into moster trucks so I'll be bringing my wingman with me. lol I'm glad sema went good for you. I'll call you on my next set of days off. I need to bounce a few ideas off you to see what you think. Next time you are in Vegas, Drinks are on me!

Haha thanks man, well this past may i just finished up getting my masters in cellular and molecular biochemistry. In june got hired on as a bio chemist at a cheese factory then once monster came through as a title sponsor in august i started working on the truck full time. I have recieved early acceptance to a few medical schools but to be honest i think i want to build race blown monster trucks, tube frame chassis, or ultra 4 koh style buggies. My wife likes plan a better and do the trucks in my free time haha.
