Is that the one that was for sale in Herky? You planning on getting that thing dirty next time at Jeremy's? Looks like one fun ass toy for sure.

Let me just say this........The guy I bought it off never even finished it. The most the tires have spun are going on and off a trailer. I plan on getting it so muddied it will be hard to tell what it is. It will be no trailer queen and I plan to put on a show for sure. It is a mud truck so if I roll it oh well, Im not going to bitch. It has such a short wheel base I plan on rolling it, Im not going to try to roll it but if it happens it happens. Thats what the crowd likes. Jeremy's will be funner than hell but Buchanan's is first on the 16th.!

so are you retiring the truck ? well see you at robertsville......

No not retiring it just going to have fun. I dont see the point to puppy your truck around in a mud pit. You just get in everyones way and its not real fun. Alot of people bring brand new truck they owe 30,000 on and get in the way. Leave it in the parking lot is what I say. What do you drive John Deere? And I'll see you there.

i used to have the yellow 85 ford w/tractor tires now i have the white 97 ford w/ 48's and no hood i still have a few issues w/it brand new motor and it's only hold about 0-5 psi of oil at 200 deg. but its been that way for the past three trips i baby it and just keep the rrrrrr's below 6,000 and it doesnt throw a belt ...

No I dont own a orange jeep truck but at least I know there will atleast be two other people with huge tires down there, that arent tractor tires. Im having proplems with my engine as well. It is a 454, and starts real strong and just falls on its face like it is out of gas. I changed carbs, distributor, and fuel pump and still no luck. It cant be too much more. Ill get it right.
