These 2 pics look like good candidates for the cover a new ZZ Top album!

I guess there must be a hole in each wing to allow for the front jacks to make it to the ground. I would be worried about strength issues in that area. Have you noticed any stress cracking around wing-holes? Might need to go after that with some fresh caulk!

Thanks for the much needed comic relief!

cheers,
jp

I do not believe these are real photos. If you look close, you will see they have been doctored. That was a Dodge truck. I question the make of the TC. I think a Bigfoot TC was there first, by looking at the reflection on the visor in one of the photos. It sure looks like a Bigfoot or Northernlite to me.

I would have thought you would have at least posted a thread before you went, inviting others if they would like to go. I've got a couple of weeks available and a rather nice Hover truck (even if I do say so myself). Next time you head out give us a heads up.

Hey Spott, now that is very very cool! Why have I not seen that before? That would be a definite for off-world camping and of course I'll send you an invite. And Jim Johnson has a Ford/Lance that would look good up here on the moon too. Gotta go...the rv campsite here is about to go dark for a bit so I'll lose my internet connection...

I guess that ends all the debate about DRW vs SRW, 3/4-ton vs 1-ton, 3.73 vs 4.10, 4wd vs 2wd, E-range tires vs 19.5's, etc etc... That's the simple answer, just eliminate the tires, axles and suspension altogether!

Once again I am reminded that no matter what the topic title says, I should open up all threads!
