Joell Randall.


after looking at the grills of the Durango/Dakota a little more closely I think his is a Dodge pickup thats been narrowed a ton...I may be wrong as I have never seen his in person...either way its going to be the second (that I know of) Dodge hood and grill buggy:D (my only reserve with the Dodge skins is I have zero Dodge parts on it, I have just about every other major vehicle mfg...oh well:D)

Those actually look like the meats that Scott had on his while it was at RL and being towed... Are they? :D

Did you flat tow it home? Well... When he blew the engine, we tried to flat tow it home, but with his 37's on the jeep was too big to have the tow bar reach the receiver ball, too big of an angle, so he went out and bought a 4" drop receiver, and he's gonna have it turned upside down to flat tow it now! :rofl:

Looks good!

I wonder who Caleb will pass them on to? Great set of buildup tires. :D

They are, except for that pesky leaky one. We got a saweet set of replacement 8-lug rims/tires just now, they're chrome spoked 16.5's, with some 33"-ish tires on 'em. They'll really enhance the look of whatever they're holding off the ground. :)

It certainly is. :) Hey, weren't you looking for some 16.5" 8-lug wheels for something?

too late... we got our tire/wheel situation dealt with... we could only find chevy, and needed ford..... thanks though, if you're offering......

D60 conversion before Moab..... ;)
