I thought that spider web back half looked familiar, I don't think it looks that bad, I bet the guys next project will be pretty awesome.

Yah, you're right. The wing sized upper arms, 6-7" gap between cage and cab, bat-wing axle truss, 6' long trailing arms, jungle gym rear cage, and GORGEOUS welds aren't all that bad.

**Brandon_Charley** · 12-11-2007, 10:36 PM

Just saying that if that's the person's first truck there next one will probably look a lot better. It looks like a beginner did everything on their own, like how everyone on here says to learn by doing.

**desert_silverado** · 12-11-2007, 11:19 PM

looks like a desert strike frontend... only its a LITTLE better.

the sum of all the parts is worth more than 5 grand. Go out, beat it up, and repair it right once it breaks

**-MIKE-** · 12-12-2007, 07:16 PM

no.

and it's really HIGH off the ground, and there's nothing wrong with shocks going into the cab.

By "No" I meant "No the links shouldn't be that long"

I was agreeing with you on that part.

I'm no fabby either I just like to pretend.

i really hope that dick either crashes that truck or sales it soon. im getting tired of looking at it and knowing its on the same streets in the same town as me and my kids.

i know every one says their must be something in the water up here but the groupe of people i run around with along with the actully shops up here dont do anything near that shitty. not even after a 20 pack and blindfolded.

**robgrinder** · 12-13-2007, 01:45 AM

Wow .... What's wrong with the water ? I'll stick to the beer ..thx

**battlescars** · 12-13-2007, 01:57 AM

Wait wait wait... That truck was on here before and the guy was parking next to Ant92Ford, or someone like that in the East County area here in SD about month ago. So is that what happened to the guy, he ran away and went up to bakersfield or something now? I am truly sorry for the person who is just getting into the sport, doesnt know anything and spends all that money on that pile of shit.

**robgrinder** · 12-13-2007, 04:56 AM

The truck looks to be the same one....It's must be the water in SD.. But i think i'll still stick to beer...

He's just "not trying to outdue everyone else", give him a break

Side Note: DR should totally get a pseudo MySpace section going, that would be so cute, we could like decorate them and stuff.

Nothing screams professionalism more than spelling errors. (homophones)

**JBWeldfan** · 12-13-2007, 10:54 AM

Sad

**4FiNgErs** · 12-13-2007, 06:23 PM

This were some rails at the az sand expo. the worst part is that in these shitty chassis' they have LS1's.

**NODNARB** · 12-13-2007, 06:26 PM

^^^ Joyner ls-1 buggies...SCARY!

**4FiNgErs** · 12-13-2007, 06:28 PM

^ Yep. i was hammered already when i saw those and they still scared the shit outta me knowing companies can get away with this kind of butchering.

I can blow a snot rocket cleaner than that.

They just got lazy on that one.. I can see some decently fitted\welded tubes in the background.. If you come up a 1/16" or even an 1/8" short you can fill the gap cleanly with a MIG welder, but that is just too much..

**Travisfab** · 12-13-2007, 07:30 PM

They got lazy on that one and the other 2 pics. You can only get away with shit like that on a $400 pep boys special, or with a rich bitch that doesnt know any better.

**4FiNgErs** · 12-13-2007, 07:34 PM

I could be hung over and someone using an air hammer next to me and i could lay down better welds. You have to see them in person they are hacked all around the vehicle.

We're all critics in this industry. We'll point out 1 hack thing before giving credit to something thats really trick on a vehicle... Its the way it goes...

**Travisfab** · 12-13-2007, 07:54 PM

I give credit to anyone that can produce a product, put it on the market, and make a profit. If these guys are doing that, then more power to them.

Until some one buys one of these and jumps it like a high end sand rail and it breaks and some gets injuried or dies.
