Before Jesse, from "Extreme 4X4", got on the show she was on an episode of "Overhaulin" with Foose. Ian the guy on the show was on "Monster Garage". I know. I watch a lot of car building shows. Gets me motivated to work on my project.

Yup. Near my old stompin' grounds. (Well . . sorta - kinda.) I'm from Newport, then Greeneville then, on to Kingsport! (Still have some relatives down there.)

Trucks! still is a great show. I don't mind that it's commercialized. It's about trucks!
I went to Stacey's website a while back and asked about the vehicles. According to the 'responder' (I think it's Stacey's wife) Stacey owns the majority of the vehicles that are built. I know that the Crazy Horse Bronco and the Copperhead truck are his.

If I remember correctly, the town of Franklin, TN is the 'home' of the PowerBlock.

Even though it's a (Shhhhhhhhhhhh. . . . .) Mopar, I wanna see what Sgt. Rock turns out like.

I got my satellite system mainly for 4x4 specific shows like xtreme4x4, but I have found that I prefer to watch TRUCKS because of the wide variety of projects that Stacey does. So far, Xtreme4x4 has leaned heavily into jeeps and buggies with Chevy powerplants- if I wanted to see that, all I have to do is open any of the 4x4 mags I get- same old-same old

Most of my friends call Xtreme 4x4, Xtreme Shopping, or Xtreme Credit Card balances. All they ever do is buy new parts and slap them together.

The Ford Ranger project was interesting, but they kinda wandered all over the project.

I didn't even know Car Craft was still in publication. Last time I saw it, it was extremely high quality stuff. Their project write-ups were awesome.
