for real, we need more girls in the mag.  Not necesarially hooters girls washin trucks but more females in the cabs or on the trails would be nice (come on ladies i know you're out there)  did we decide what they were going to build next or are we all still arguing.  What ever the next project is i think is should ahve those 46 inch mickey THompson Baja claws on it.

Arcangelavenger - please learn how to spell.  Your murder of the english language is quite amazing. You seem to missing a few "e's" I know you have them somewhere on your keyboard. I don't think a Japanese motorcycle powered sand rail is what they had in mind.


SKBlazer- That would be a new thread...Yes, we all like girls, just not in 4WOR.  If you want to look at scantily clad girls, buy some smut mag or some other magazine like Tailgate or Truckin'.  You know, magazines that are more concerned about paint jobs than 'wheeling.


Here's another vote for a budget build up, build a good all purpose rig that can handle a little bit of mud, rock, sand, snow, etc for less than 5 grand.

I would like to see you guys do any project vehicle with a suspension that dramatically improves suspension travel.For most of the kits are unfortunatly lift kits that do nothing but increase your centre of gravity and increase drive line angles (they reduce power), and I hate lift blocks! Lift blocks also increase the leverage needed for axle hop! I don't like to hop when I need traction! With that said I would also like to see RTI numbers before and after the new suspension is in. I would also like to see your daily driver project vehicle enter a race like the Baja 1000! That is putting the build up to the ultimate test!

i also like the danger ranger project and hope to see a lot more on it in the future.the red sled project is 2500 chevy with 6 inch ifs lift.what happened with it, did you get custom halfshafts or keep popping the stock ones??there was a series on how much abuse chevy ifs can take awhile back.

I think you should build a surburban 86 to 90 Put 56 inchh lift 37 and a 502 a daily drive and great for the trails. and big enough to take the whole family out. I have a 87 chevy surb with 6 in lift with 35 in tire then it stock from there

how about a ford F-250 build-up? see how cheap it can be built for.
heck, how about doing a UA buildup on something like the Lawg, or the project samurai. Remember just because something is there does not mean it can't be improved.
Probably at least 3 quarters of the readers can't afford most of the stuff for 4x4ing.So howabout a CHEAP UA buildup?

4wor should build the meanest el Camino the world has seen, king coil overs, capable enough to drive all the way up the rti ramp, as well as give one of these hopped up diesels a run for there money on the straight stretch.

Solid axle chevys can't be beat!
My dream truck: 73-91 chevy 3500 crew cab srw with dana 60/14bolt, 6 inc long travel lift with KING shocks, 37 inc tires and a 24v cummins diesel, nv5600 and np205

personally i say do a high end build but in 2k to 3k increments. start with a cheap junker truck or jeep and swap in junkyard donor parts to make a decent rig. then next how you upgrade that with another 2-3k. over and over until you hit that high cost rig. this is more along the lines of those who are the average joe 4x4.we want that high end truck but we start with the daily driver. what are the best ways to upgrade over and over on a budget where we can only put back a couple grand every 6 months to a year.

Build a Flying Saucer with 44" swampers and full ifs with dana 60 up front and gm 14 bolt rear. Also, it should be painted red white and blue with a petersens flag on it. You would never get stuck because you could just fly away. It would also give you access to any area to off road cause you could just fly there and leave at any time.

Or give me money to add more to my truck and feature it in the mag!

I would like to see something built on a budget. No Dynatrac axles. Junkyard stuff rebuilt, an old tried and true suspension no links or fancy stuff. Most of us can't afford 50K trail rigs. We want to see something built in the gravel driveway with your winch hooked to a big tree limb picking the front end off of the ground so you can put the front end in. Don't get me wrong some of the stuff you guys build is simply amazing and built to a standard I could never achieve with the tools and location I have to do it with.If you built something like this for less than 20K (including the freebies) take it on the Ultimate adventure wheel the piss out of it and make it home then I will be impressed. Anybody that has unlimited access to parts and shops and the best fabricaters in SoCal can build a UA truck. I built mine with one friend in a gravel driveway its not unbreakable but I think I could hold my own with you guys any day.

..I would like to see you build a 05 or newer, 4x4 Ford Explorer, offroad machine...I know you guys can do it, but will you???

...Yea, anybody can take a truck and make it capable but, a good ol' U.S.A. made, The original S.U.V., turned into an ultimate grocery getter that's trail worthy...

...Think about the moral you can stimulate back into the U.S. Economy...
