Thats my field. That pit got re-dug and another one added last May. This is what that same spot looked like last year:
Mud Pit in April 2002
During the Mud Races Memorial Weekend 2002
Truck/Blazer Memorial Day weekend in the same pit.
and this is it right now: http://community.webshots.com/photo/67654346/67656990OGVJWa

how many &%^$#&%$#^%$@ rigs do you have? and i still miss my 8" springs /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
color wise i'd go blue red or black but i have to ask are you gonna put a bumper on the front that would sit tight against the body? it looks almost like you have 2 bumpers stacked on top of eachother there.

It has a 3" Body lift on it. So, I tried being "creative" with some old aluminum diamondplate bed rail caps and filled the gap. Does it look too tacky?
kinda looks like 2 bumpers. mudbogAD and i have body lifts on our trucks and we cut the ends off the frame rails and raised them and welded them back in place and braced them up good and beefy. he has a 3" and you cant even tell. i only have a 2".

Too many trucks. Too many plans. Too little time and too little money. I have lots of "stuff" accumulated, but no money. This "truck/Blazer" got put together with minimal money. If you dont count the winch and bumper, I have under $1500 into it over 3 years and it has all the good stuff (running gear).
$600 original purchase price (minus about $550 in the sale of the old running gear, motor, tires/wheels)
Traded stuff for the wheels, fender flares, nerf bars, mud flaps, rear 14 bolt, Holley Valve covers, etc...
$15 for light bar
$20 for rear bumper
$675 for Warn 8274 Winch and Bumper (came with the 2 KC lights now sitting up top)
$250 for 8" lift springs
$0 for bug deflector
Parts vehicles and other trucks donated the:
Dana 60 front, 396 motor, hood, 40" tires, exhaust, hitch, shocks, drop drag link, radiator, tailgate.
Sorry for taking your 8" lift from ya. But at least I put it to use under this thing. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My friend had a bumper that was raised up to match the body. He got pulled over and the cop said "the bumper has to remain in line with the factory framerails". That and Wa. state has bumper height restrictions. I think my bumper is still 2" over the limit. So, I'll leave it there...that and cause I'm too lazy to do any major fabrications. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
