Id say you need lots of motor with HD trans and axles, lots of stall, really nice shocks, and good working suspension that doesnt sit really tall. And if you wanna go really fast throw some paddles on it once you get all the rest done

Well the only thing with that is you got one purpose for the rig. Where if you build a rig with some power and nice suspension you can drive it around and drag it. Idk what his plans are. Just got back from the dunes hehe

Also my plans for my blazer are 4" ORD alcan springs with a 14sf rear axle with 4.10 gears, 33" 12.50 truxs mts, bilstein 7100s up front with bilstein 5150s out back and my 700r4 thats being built now with an 11" hughes 2500 rpm stall converter behind my 408 sbc. Should be a perfect all around go (kinda) fast rig, but still be able to drive it around fine. Just need 2000 bucks for springs and shocks and ill be good to go. Should hook up pretty well.

Probably bigger than you would need. I know someone with 40in tall paddles.

Man that is a sick looking rig indeed

A lot of paddles are custom made by vulcanizing the scoops onto old race slicks so you can make just about whatever you want.
I've personally seen tiny 33" paddles up to massive 40" by what had to be 18"+ wide.

I got some 18" sand sharks on my quad if you need some nice paddles.....

Yeah thats what these are. He took a set of worn out 40in old style Mtrs and had Skat track shave and then vulcanize 7 paddles onto them

Damn, those are sweet. Just out of curiosity, what would something like that cost?
