Makes me want to find and rent/buy the movie "Rolling Vengeance". Lifted monster machine and a military bone yard that had a bunch of M135/211's in it.

i really miss the monster trucks of the 80s and early 90s, so me and the guys got together and started building one in the old way.... but some improvements of modern trucks are being applied. mainly in keeping the weight within reason. the wheels are 1/8" thick in the barrel part which should shave somewhere around 600 lbs off the truck copared to regular terra gator wheels. rear steering is also on the truck. i am not puting planetary ends on the axle, but improving the strength of the 5 tons instead. i am going to be trying some things on the springs to make the ride better too. the frame is a 85 chevy c60 box truck.

posting pics that are hosted elsewhere (like photobucket, imageshack, etc) should be as simple as copying the link into the thread and putting
after it, so your links will look like this:



that works on almost every forum unless the mods or something in the page scripts does not allow you to post outside images that way.
