Might be a repost but I haven't seen it. :flipoff:

 

[Lucky Jeff]

I don't believe it.. Cause in a magazine they said that thing was bullet proof... Magazines are always right..

Good parts? probably... good welds? ehhhh not so much :haha:

 

[J_SIN]

wtf? how the hell were those shocks mounted? would love to see what the fab work looked like before it fell apart.

 

[Binder]

One less pile of **** that could have been on a public highway somewhere.:rolleyes:

 

[dirk]

Looks like the wheels that Mauler made held up just fine...

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

Looks like the wheels that Mauler made held up just fine...

I'd certainly fawking hope so... I doubt they have cheap assed cast wheels in a 24 so they probably started out as a forged alcoa... :D

 

[Fordzuki]

It looks like they just sheered the lower bolts to the c/os. :eeek:

Either that or it was a "We'll make it go quicker, you build that side and I'll build this side." :redneck:

 

[Flexy Backhand]

i remember that truck from the other thread.. i thought it was* cool..

*= not so much anymore

 

[JOOP]

LOL.. I do not believe this is a repost. First time I have seen it. It didn't even look like the bolts where in the shocks. Probably snapped the bolts.

Looks like they are 22's :D

I'll contibute to the madness:rolleyes: :flipoff:

I built the wheels and front bumper for this.....Each one of those wheels,with out ring or hardware,was 150#!! They are 22's...the centers are 1/2" plate with tapers on BOTH sides of the lug holes so they could flip the wheels around for different backspacing.

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

I remember Mauler talking about them in that thread, I was just going off the SEMA '08 report. :D

"You can nearly walk beneath this Chevrolet Silverado, which has been lifted more than 30 inches

 

[dirk]

I remember Mauler talking about them in that thread, I was just going off the SEMA '08 report. :D

I guess it doesn't matter...it still broke :haha:

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

I guess it doesn't matter...it still broke :haha:

FACT! :haha:

 

[boardbysled]

:haha: Thats good stuff. I thought that truck was an RC when i first seen it.

 

[ain'tstuckjustresting]

epic fail!

Here ya go:awesomework:

 

[mark]

Fawk'n funny.


Atleast it *looks* like they attempted to make it decently. CO's, links, hydro steering.... no guy lift springs, super blocks and cobbled steering.


Looks like they FAILED in the make it strong part though.... :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

 

[PHILLBILLY1]

Looks like the coilovers were held on by one little bolt on the axle. Not even supported on both sides:haha:

No way that one bolt down there would hold up to that much weight :rolleyes:

 

[CHOP SHOP]

paint budget was higher than the bolt and tab budget.

See what happens when dumb ol ford boys try to build a chevy.

 

[Fordzuki]

Yup, single shear and what looks like grade 5 bolts. :haha:

 

[Binder]

That would be a shock mount and not a very good one at that. Not a coilover shock mount........But it took such a prety picture that had to be good for something.:haha:

 

[pos97yj]

paint budget was higher than the bolt and tab budget.

See what happens when dumb ol ford boys do anything.

Fixed it for ya:awesomework:

 

[jeepmauler]

Hahaha.....Just saw this:haha::haha: Wheels held up fine:011::011: My back hurts just looking at 'em:redneck:

 

[Corey Y]

Two more tabs on each mount and they would be fine :haha:

 

[Binder]

Two more tabs on each mount and it would find the next weaker point.

:;:haha:

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

Ya know I didn't care enough to look into it all that far but now that Crazy Daze posted that pic I wonder even more about axle builders. Why in the name of all that is holy would you build a (guessing) custom dana 80 with ****ing ball joints? they wear out in a summer of wheeling with small tires let alone that huge heavy military **** they have on that bucket..

:haha: What makes you think those things go wheeling all summer? Or even wheeling at all?

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

Well I didn't mean the ball joints on THAT truck wearing out.. Hell I don't think they'll ever need to be greased.. :haha:

 

[N-B_wheeler]

Depressing to spend that much money and then be so cheap to not even build it right serves them right for the embaresment of having such failure on utube for everyone to see.
