Big Thanks to:

Started with the cab / frame, moved it back on the frame 4" to center up the cab. Shortened wheelbase by 4". All wheels are forward on the frame as well.

You're welcome! And it's Woodruff! with 1 D.

[McClintock]

Sorry, Double D or Single D's both get the job done.

[REEVESRacing]

Looks really good, congrats!

Have you done any testing yet?

Race / Pre-Run plans?

[bcampbell04]

truck looks awesome. been watching the progress on desertrides. what ever happend to the other truck???

[McClintock]

Old truck was R&P, research and patch up the problem.

We should have the truck done and 100% for Night Race at the latest. Want to get a lot of miles on it before its raced. Truck was built to have fun, not to do 15 races a year. Chase, Race, Glamis & Mexico, and some street driving. All glass is going back into it.

Thanks for the compliments.

[McClintock]

Was supposed to be at show in Costa Mesa, but ran out of time...

[John_Bitting]

Whats Hemps truck doing in the background?

[McClintock]

Hemp's truck is getting a dash put in and other misc fab in the interior. Mexi Mike is doing the work, i have nothing do to with it other then it being at my house where our tools are.

[cedave]

What engine are you going to run?

[McClintock]

5.0 L backed by C4

Nice save on Saturday!

[cedave]

Thanks, my codriver was 100% sure we were going to nail Patelli. I thought I was going to just brush him a little but was supprised when I didn't hear anything as we passed.:eek:

[McClintock]

Lightbar done, mocked up clip for the hell of it, should be testing in weeks.

*lightbar not done
*clip roughly mocked up

[BHTool]

adjust while you drive :)

I’d be a little wary about the single tab on the a pillar though, I seem to remember a little black truck that lost its light bar on the prerun...lol

[McClintock]

Theres more to it soon. The tabs are 3/16" and 1/4" and the a pillar is fairly strong there as well because of the cage/cab reinforcements. Well see.

[BadSeed]

The truck looks great man. Cant wait to see it in the dirt!

[maxyedor]

Looking sweet, if you don't mind the minor hijack, how do you like the Eagle GPS?

[McClintock]

I bought it for a 100 bucks a year ago, used it for a good while in our buddies prerunner. For 100 i couldnt pass it up, will be upgrading to a color unit sometime this year. Dollar / Fun ratio was low

[McClintock]

Took the truck out testing for its 2nd test session. Truck is getting more dialed each run. Still having some timing/fuel issue on the motor. Valving is awesome Alex "the Ax" valving is awesome, i recommend him 100%. Got the truck to about 85 mph through some solid whoops, handles better than i would have expected. Here's a couple pics, didn't get any rad pics, due to the fact we were in the truck.

Beaters, the truck look like it handled Barstow well; especially after the Powder Puff race when it was taking it all... Nice work!

Sweet, now I need one of it hitting the whoops lol. I'll stop by and say whats up at the next MDR race (you guys still doing MDR right?)

[McClintock]

If not racing we'll be out there hanging out. We are all really busy right now so racing is taking a back seat. Its easy to dump some fluids in it, check bolts and take it out and cruise around. I think we have some video from it going down main this weekend.

[McClintock]

Crappy, but a video none the less.
