Well i do suppose its possible for someone to lie there way in, should pics be required, i know not everyone has access to a digital camera, but maybe its a thought, and as for tech expierence, its hard to lie about what you do and dont know. If some one were to be accused of lieing it should be talked about in pm's between minion elites to consider whether or not the said person is lieing and what to do from there.

5. Vehicle must see regular offroad duty

54" tires huh? you lookin to buy a set of 54" thornturds or what cause the largest currently made tires short of denman tractors are 53" Michelines. sounds like you need to do some research before your minion ready, not to mention how ya gunna plan to run those tires? Quad has 460 power through 2.5 ton rockwells...and you have?

It was actually ment to be a joke, as i couldnt afford 1/2 of a 54 inch tire, much less 4 of them ar rockwells, or the lift, or the engine. Or the money for the gas. That comment was not ment to be taken literally. But if i could get my hands on one, i bet it would make on helluva convo piece, just have it as a table in the garage or something. also not ment to be taken seriously.

would i take 54" tires, you bet i would, But how could i possibly afford to buy them, buy 2.5 or 5 ton rockwells. Pay for a monster suspension lift. Find or build a motor strong enough to turn those massive tires, build a transfer case and a tranny with proper gear as not to DESTROY anything. I find reasonable size tires expensive. But 54" tires alone would take me atleast a year to save up for. Even at that theres no way i could be street legal with a truck that tall. As my 95 is my daily driver. Im not a complete idiot here, i know there is MUCH more work involved than bolting up a set of 54" tires, hell anything over 38"s usually requires beefing of major components.

Yeah...I agree. I need to hand over the CON when I go to bed. Us old farts have a hard time staying up past 10 on work nights.

Minions are right. We do need to vote. I did ask a few guys to join because they said something funny and minion-esque. The ones who are in are in. All new members must be voted on and have a substantial start on a tasteful 4wd project.

That is all.


Oh BTW.....Settle down peons!
