Just don't forget to chrome your links and springs.

This thing rolled off the back of a tow truck last year. I have a pic (not on computer) of it upside down at the bottom of a ravine....

I saw a guy down at the dunes in Cali (Gordon's Well) that had a set of these on his dodge. He was cruisin' around pretty good on 'em, I was impressed (with the tracks, not the truck, ha ha). I didn't get a close up look though, he wouldn't stop long enough for anyone to gather around.
If you go to www.mattracks.com they have a bunch of cool videos of trucks running through different terrain.

[QUOTE=Ryan50hrl]*DISCLAIMER* if your currently selling your lifted/showtruck on ebay, do not read any farther as i don't wish to insult you. Thanks and have a great day.
A truck like this would be cool to run in the sand. That is if it has about -10" of lift. That way the 10bolt front and 12 bolt rear wouldn't instantly be grenaded. With that nice 18" of lift, you'd probably over down a dune pretty easy (roll, as in end for end). Noticed- no front blocks, but has 16" rear blocks, at least, it should have.
I will give this guy credit, it looks like his truck has actually been offroad more than twice. The mudflaps are a bit hard-k0re though. What's wrong with the NOS floormats? I was going to get a set of those for my beater. 
The axle is too far forward. A sawzaw will fix that though. At least there will be no wheel hop or axle sway in the rear. The front end looks like it was almost well designed, although you can't see it very well.
The PS2 looks molded real nice. However, everything else looks like it was just shoved in there. At least the front axle is centered.

It has also been on a show called Modern Marvels on the Discovery channel if I remember right, they did a special on it. It was one awesome truck.
I looked for the article online but couldn't find it. I tried taking a pic of it with my phone but it's hard to see, the whole cab is crushed.
