After building a mud truck 2 years ago I have have gotten sick of power washing and since then discovered twisted trails and Rocks and valleys built the green beast last winter and although it will go just about any where it is to wide for (speed) on the trails. Lilly (not named by me ) is also wide so im building a southern style buggie ,low narrow and fast . going to sit here until i figure how to up load pictures.

The reason I said 54 is cause it appears to have 44 tsl on the front now and the tire behind the truck looks alot bigger. It almost looks like it has the cut look of thr 54 bogger to it.

I like it. A rig like that would be a blast. RE rear steer, I've seen a lot of people get sidetracked screwing around with the rear steer and it gets them in more trouble than help. On the other hand, a properly set up rear steer with a driver that knows how to use it can perform really well. Once you figure out how to drive the rear steer and when NOT TO USE it, you will do great.

By the way, love the barn. I wish I had room for multiple rigs in my garage.:thumb:

Oh, and don't pay any attention to Hancho. He's just jealous.

i can say rear steer for cory is fine.he can drive that green monster very good with the rear steer.there is many times especially when down south the rear steer is needed.
he is going to have one hell of a nice rig.looks real good cory.to bad i missed you at the shop friday,wanted to see it in person. i will stop by this week.
14 bolt rear steer, extreme billet inner and outer knuckles,300m shafts.that will be some bling!! call scott for a sweet howe hydraulic steer for it.
keep the pictures coming. you told me it will be done in a few more weeks.
