Holy crap Pro, that thing is awesome!! I've seen your gallery and the various ones you've posted in the forums throughout your projects (next to the keg, ha ha) but those don't do it any justice until you see it in action. That thing looks and sounds bad @$$. Nice work man.

Thanks for the compliments 
The pic you are thinking of next to the keg though must have been one of Ivans. I NEVER drink and wrench. Safety first
Dan, thanks for chiming in. This kind of threw me for a loop because I know you are always very carefull to respect trails and help our sport rather than hurt it. Now I'm just wondering if the area you were in wasn't closed at all or if it was and just wasn't marked? If its the latter, no wonder people are going on "closed" trails...

Its easy to get our trucks confused. Ivans is ALMOST as big as mine. Once he puts in a front driveshaft and a real motor it will be ALMOST as cool too 
I'm just counting the seconds untill somebody calls bs on this one

Yes, the spiked bumper was the result of a drunken week of fabrication. We were laughing our ***** off as I welded those on there . . . good times . . .

Btw gang, the vid in the link I gave in post #1 has been updated with a better one. Its ten meg though so its not real dialup friendly.
Also, if you're up in the NW and don't follow the NW chapter (whats wrong with you!) be aware we have another mud bog feb. 12.

Frank stopped the video there because that little sucker at the end buries himself and is done a millisecond after the video ends. Guess he shouldn't have tried to follow where the big dogs led I do like that extended version of the vid with my truck. If you are talking about the guy at the end of Franks (mudmunch) vid, yea, that guy pulled out allot of people. He didn't get aggresive with the 52' ags or spun them in the mud. Pretty much just aimed it where he wanted to go and drove right through.
I forget what Frank has for tires but they aren't mickies. I'll get back to you on that one.
