Dan, I can't get you a PM...
What font are you using for the numbers on the truck? Do you know? I'm working on another project and like the way those numbers look.
Also, what wheels are those? (also size?) They really look sharp!

That and a Viper, a Ferrari 430, a Porsche Carrera S......
Not bad for a 1 ton truck, eh?
Brad was telling me its just great to watch some of the expressions on peoples faces! (Expressions that haven’t been seen since the Vegas, Mad Dog 12V Ford vid hit the net back in '03 or '04!)

Weld X-Lander
But only if the spokes don't go up to 8 with the 8 lug.
Of course, Weld is owned by American Racing now...
Thanks for looking into the FONT!

Sorry Dan, I'm not gonna let this thread die yet! 
This is really a sweet foundation. Can you tell us about this suspension? Is that one of Kore's suspension kits with airbags added in the back or was it assembled from available components from scratch? I'd love to hear how that big ol' beast handles! It's a bee-autiful thing naked like that.
Do you have any video's you'd like to share?

As for the suspension, its KORE. BUT we had them customize it slightly for the lowering we want. ALSO did a reverse shackel flip on the rear springs to get about 3" of drop....(Not shown in pic) The air bags went bye-bye as this was going to be our pulling truck as well....but we though better of it because the size of the.....well everything........wasnt going to be setup for towing. Gooseneck is gone as well.....Thoes were taken about September of last year i think....
