No, ...no TTC for me. That would be cool, but I think it would be too hard on me. This is going to be an exhibition/show truck.

No, those will probably be the first things gone. It has the two toned Ranger seat under that ugly seat cover too. I may go back to a stock Ranger interior, but add some custom touches here and there.

Just to give a little history.

Earthquake I....







That truck had 10" of lift and 39.5" swampers. Earthquake II (which was only briefly shown in a VHS video I took. No other still pictures) had 17" of lift and 44" Ground Hawgs.

Earthquake III????? ....at least this is the direction I'm headed.

Sounds like a great idea, let me know if you need any parts, of course that goes with out saying.

Hey Alan - It looks like it even has power steering! I wonder if it works?

Just kidding - great deal on a truck. You seem to find the coolest stuff.

Gee, thanks Dave! You should've seen me wrenching it off the trailer yesterday. I missed hitting a tree by the thickness of a sheet of paper. No, without the engine running the power steering doesn't work. ....BUT I sure know how to fix it now!

Nice Quake! I thought you were bob Chandler for a moment there with it perched up on the cars!!! The first time he ever did that (thus creating car crushing) looks exactly like your pic.

Wow, I'm flattered. I was just a little tyke when Bob did it though. I still remember drooling over the truck and watching the trailers for "Take this job and shove it" on TV. He was definitely one of my heroes when I was a kid. I even had a Stomper Bigfoot that I played with 'till the wheels came off.

I can tell you this, ...it's a REALLY bumpy ride when you run over cars. You'll note the helmet in the pictures. I had a ten point cage inside the truck. After I cracked my coconut on the halo bar, I went and got the helmet. (slow learner)
