TRUCKS!

[mrk5]

Just watched today's episode. Stace is doing a truck that I just would love to have, a mid to late 40s Dodge Power Wagon.

Plus he's puttin 49" IROKs on it too. Damn those are some big ass tires. /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif

And rear steering. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I can't wait to see this one finished. /forums/images/graemlins/ears.gif

I wonder what power plant he's planning to put in. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

The axles were worked over by USA6x6. /forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif

[84gmcjimmy]

the 52's aren't D.O.T. legal

 

[sled_dog]

Michelins were used by the military they are D.O.T. approved as far as I know. For the same reason Hummer beadlocks are, cause they military said so.

the 48" mich's are legal the 52's aren't /forums/images/graemlins/woot.gif

 

[fad2blk99]

just cuz the military uses them doesn't make them DOT legal... Try registaring an M1....

/forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gifthe military said so LOL /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif

 

[txfiremank5]

The military does not have to abide by DOT regulations, because they are the military/government, they only answer to themselves.

 

[jakeslim]

yeah, kinda like saying i can own an automatic weapon because the military can. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif

 

[boggerless]

maybe if they debrief the 52in michs,they could go out to the civilian world. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gifto /forums/images/graemlins/truck.gif

Stace did qualify the statement by saying "not including the military version Michelins or farm version Firestones"
