The engine is being built near Oakdale, the chassis is near Clear Lake. It looks like you know a bit about racing 4wds - your input would be welcome. None of us have done this before.
Also, don't get shook as we will be adding massive front and rear bumpers. We want these so the truck will look neat at a show, and maybe raise a bit of interest in our chapter. We will build them such that they unbolt quickly for the mud bogs, where all that is required is a log chain and clevis hook so the tractor can pull you out.
We also want to keep the ability to do some trails - the Nevada and the Southern California Chapters have challenged us to a face-off.

For now, getting the base platform together and working is our main goal. And, to be frank, we all like the looks of the bumperside truck. A basic Ford truck is also good advertising for our chapter.
But we still need to do such appearance items as the front and rear bumper and the roll cage. We would also consider some body changes to be done after the first season.
Why don't you post your ideas on these threads?

We have not started working on the engine - 3mike6 is overseeing that, and needs to clear off some space in his shop. We may work it as a clinic - but I do not know his plans.

I'll have some room cleared in my Dad's shop soon, I need to find a set of tires for the axles I built and put them under the boat trailer, this will clear plenty of room for engine teardown.
I finished changing sme bearings in the axles, got all the other ones repacked, so once I find some good rubber I get get it taken care pretty quickly.
