or

"i wanna see some totally useless trucks that are really big because the owner needs to over compensate"

why is it every time that a truck is big it is automaticaly a mall crusier, tht is BS. In this years ttc there was a real big blue 5ton, yeah i admit he didnt do the best but i dont think he got last. but i guess that those of who think that they are all mall cruisers also think you and your rig could do better. :D and yeah a jeep set up for mostly rock climbing won, and i have to give him major props that thing is bad. but not all tall rigs are worthless. just my 2 cents.

I would have a little more respect for your post if you didnt brag about your 20" suspension lift. Yeah that big blue piece was there in ttc but it proved that just jacking a truck up and putting huge tires under it doesnt work the best.

One can build a more capable truck by investing in a suspension that articulates and proper gears, lockers, axles and maybe not huge tires then someone that lifts a truck to the sky and throws big tires under it. More rubber and lift under your truck doesnt make it better, it in fact hinders it.

Now if one is just swamp running like suburban n progress then a huge truck with a big engine and tires is needed but to just come and say i want to see big chevys is dumb and deserves a flame. Go some where else like fullsizechevy or pavementsucks to see big trucks. This forum is ment to tell you and teach you how to build a capable chevy be it swamp running, rockcrawlin, or trail ridin.

in other words 53chevy you are still a dumbass and should take your crap else where.

Maybe tall works where you are, but even the mudboggers here run low lifts. Hell, allot of them don't run any lift. Around here, the only place you find tall trucks is at the mall.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Texas, but does half of every one with a truck in Texas have 20" of lift? :flipoff2:

Up here, you wouldn't fit through and trails, and logically after a certain point, all high does is KILL your flex. The "BIG" mentality is all well and good until you get out on the trails and some little guy on 35's makes you look like a woman. :p

X2 in NC for the most part. They are a dead give away with their prestine paint job, 18"+ shiney wheels (fake beadlocks mind you), adhesive-attached fender flares, and tinted windows. Oh, and usually they are on teeny axles or mainly IFS. They make my day.

first of all there is nothing wrong with a big truck. most 4x4 are purpose built. that purpose can be mud, rocks, sand, show(mall crawlers) etc. just cause its not the same purpose as your truck dosent mean it sucks, its just different. and the big blue truck in the ttc hmm built for mud, hence the rice and cane tires. so yeh if i were to built a mud truck thats a pretty sweet build. if i were doing nothing but rock a little jeep. seriously guys its liek kids fitting over whos the better power ranger. ... at least they all have transfer cases

First off is there any need for that, i just wanted to see who has it, i personally don't like 20+ inch lifts because i think the center of gravity gets way too high. I run 10-12 inches and i cut my fenders so i can run big tires. Also my truck almost never get run on the street so how can it be a mall cruiser?

pirate needs a mudding tech forum! i know its about rockcrawling, but the website says pirate4x4, not pirate rock crawling!!!! i come to this website to get all my tech that i need for my builds, friends builds, or anything i'm researching. there is no rocks within 4 hours of memphis (where i'm from). i pay for my red star and i love the website, but i go mud riddin on the weekends not rock crawling. why does the rock crawler guys hate the muddin guys so much? yes your suspension is alot better than mine, yes you have nice d.o.m. chassis, yes your drivetrain is probably better than mine but this is the most popular "4x4" site on the internet. so how about a mud tech section? i would like to discuss rice and cane tires, snorkeling issues, and other mud related topics with people all over the country.

First off let me say that you guys made me blush. Acceptance is nice.

My story in a nutshell:
I began to notice that everytime I searched Google for information regarding cutting and turning a Dana 60 or building a TBI 350 or GM SAS and kept getting pirate4x4 popping up. So I started reading.
I'm 22 and I've been subscriber to Fourwheeler and 4WOR since I was 14. They just don't get real into depth and don't have the step by step build ups and stuff like on here.
I think crawlin' is an awesome sport and I've learned a ton since when I joined last year. I definately plan on getting into it one day when I have the ability. Just there's no rocks or hills or trails in my area...just mud.
Most of the parts and fabrication on different forms of offroading overlap. Though my suspension is nothing to brag about. I came to pirate to get advice on how to build my truck the best for what I do with it. To learn tips and tricks and find the best bang for your buck solutions. I've already bought and sold several G's worth of parts.(hands down, best off road classifieds).

Just realize, as I did, that tall trucks are in the minority here, these guys are primarily rock crawlers, expect to get flamed some, spend a long time on the board before you start postin' questions.
Pirate is a valuable resource just don't be retarded. A few hours of browsing and you can easily see the etiquite and what's taken seriously. I feel mudders and even show trucks can benefit from this site. They just need to know their place.
And if you're building a straight up show and shine, keep it to yourself and don't list off how you have 4 chrome shocks at each corner and a dvd entertainment system.

this is becoming a big issue for pirate. pirate started as a hardcore rockcrawlin' website & still pretty much is the most hardcore crawlin' website. but how many members there is, change is sure to come. a mud section forum should be started so us trail rigs/crawlers won't flame on people all the time. lol. it's fun, but it's getting old & this just creates tension among us, when we're all here for the same basic principle, TO FOUR WHEEL. that's the main reason we're all here right? i just think this is something pirate needs to deal with...hey i dig 20+" lifted trucks, they look nice, but only have their place at the mall and at the local mud bogs. i was even considering lifting my '72 17" on 46s, but wanted something built to crawl and run trails in. so we all have our place at pirate4x4 but a mud boggers section is needed.

this is the orginial post. what does this look like to everyone?? ok thats what i thought general chit-chat nothing to do with actually building a rig or tech related at all.

now if he said 'how can i build a truck for swamp running' or 'im looking at getting some rockwells under my rig with a 4-link' or 'i need to know how much lift i need to clear a rockwell with 52" mich. on it'

the flaming was to prevent shit like this:

yeah its a ford but proves my point.

so now that everyone that ownes a truck with more then 8" on it get your panties out of a bunch and the sand out of your twat and move on.

badk5, you are right, thats my little boy and as soon as i got out of the truck flexed out and i noticed he walked right up and started climbing up the ramp i was right on top of him wearing his ass out, i promise he just got on the ramp and wasn't there but for a second and after i tore his ass up i explained to him that if the truck moved he was dead. that was my fault and i appologize to everyone in the 4x4 community.
on a side note i do have rockwells with pinoin brakes and a parking/pressure holding valve that was set before i got out of the truck, so honestly it would have taken another truck to drag it off the ramp. but thats beside the point a childs life was in danger and his ass was black and blue that night and mine should have been also.

badk5, you are right, thats my little boy and as soon as i got out of the truck flexed out and i noticed he walked right up and started climbing up the ramp i was right on top of him wearing his ass out, i promise he just got on the ramp and wasn't there but for a second and after i tore his ass up i explained to him that if the truck moved he was dead. that was my fault and i appologize to everyone in the 4x4 community.
on a side note i do have rockwells with pinoin brakes and a parking/pressure holding valve that was set before i got out of the truck, so honestly it would have taken another truck to drag it off the ramp. but thats beside the point a childs life was in danger and his ass was black and blue that night and mine should have been also.
sorry...

Props for ownin up to the mistake. Kids are gonna be kids and do stupid things. As long as you taught him not to do it again you're doing the right thing. Thats all any kid can ask of his parents. (though some like me don't listen and have to learn things the hard way)

What suspension? It's built for mud and parades. It was built as a graduation present for high school. Flame me all you want, I never claimed it to be a rock crawler with ridiculous articulation. It does what it's built for, and that's fine by me.

I'm working on an S-10 hybrid right now. Funds are tight though, considering I'm in college.

this is becoming a big issue for pirate. pirate started as a hardcore rockcrawlin' website & still pretty much is the most hardcore crawlin' website. but how many members there is, change is sure to come. a mud section forum should be started so us trail rigs/crawlers won't flame on people all the time. lol.

It has been an issue for years.... I basicly blame the lack of Mods in the Chevy section. A guy goes to Chit-Chat with the same aditude he had on this thread and he is banned in a couple of min.... The only thread on the first page I would consider worthy is the 14bolt front end thread. Most of the hard core chevy guys stopped comming to the chevy forum years ago because its so lame around here.

The chevy forum is lost... we don't need to create another forum...we just need to change the title to "Chevy Talk - Big Gay Truck Land" :flipoff2:

Oh and extreme mud boggers run 35's....35" paddles....I love it when the big tired guys bump up into X-class...Just makes the payback that much better when my girlfriend spanks them in the rail :flipoff2:

The content of this forum is driven by the members. I have tried to get topics going and they all fall flat. So I left it up to you guys and guess what? Nothing happens. There is only one of me and hundreds of you. Pretty ridiculous to blame me for the lack of good tech.

As far as posts not being moved or deleted, everyone is free to use the "report this post" button and I have on many occasions encouraged you to do so. Yet I only receive on average less than one reported post per week.

As far as the "rock crawling only" content, the majority is but it hasn't been exclusive for a long time. And honestly how many people use Chevies for rock crawling?

I think the reason everyone who comes to these forums is because we like trucks and we like going off road with our trucks. If it were strictly rockcrawling this site would not have the majority of the tech in which it has.
Myself personally would rather have a rig which is diverse in all types of terrain. A well balanced rig that can tackle a bit of mud, a bit of rocks and a bit of trail only makes you that much more capable.
Where I come from, when everyone leaves the rock piles and heads for the mud, its the purpose built rockcrawlers that and up having no fun cause they are useless in it. Not much of a fun day when you can't hang out with your buddies right?
I myself enjoy everyones interests, even if they are mall crawlers. Chances those are what sparked your interest in trucks when you were a kid.

Just because he didn't ask for picks of hardcore rockcrawlers doens't mean it doesnt belong here, hell, if he wanted to see what hardcore rockcrawlers look like all hes gotta do is stop by the local junk yard. Stop being a dick, you don't gotta answer the question if you don't want, you dont even have to look at it.

chevymudtruck: (and a lot of others)

i think if you can stuff a 42 or 44, your truck is big.

i think a lot of these "mud trucks" are actually pretty capable in the rocks...
the owners just don't have rocks to climb. when someone mentioned 35" paddles, i realized that most of the "mud trucks" and the "crawlers" on this board share a lot of tech. the serious mud rigs and the serious rock rigs are not even really trucks.

i think that "trucks" should have their own forum. most of the trucks on here share a lot of tech.

this is becoming a big issue for pirate. pirate started as a hardcore rockcrawlin' website & still pretty much is the most hardcore crawlin' website.

Actually, this is a popular misconception. This started as the club's website, went public, but was a "general 4x4" site with a rock crawling slant - NOT a rock-specific site. In fact, the stuff you see in Chit Chat today used to be in the Gen 4x4 section (and hence, the reason Chit Chat was created LOL). That "home of extreme rockcrawling" tag didn't come along for quite some time even if that was PRIMARILY the focus of the guys who started the place ;)

hey i dig 20+" lifted trucks, they look nice, but only have their place at the mall and at the local mud bogs.

Actually, I haven't seen a lift over 6" work properly in a mud bog & even those were very recent lifts. 4" springs are a better limit for a mud truck IMO. Taller ones are WAY too stiff. Oddly enough, I can only find a couple big Chevy's on my site - most of the guys on 44's seem to be Fords & Jeeps :eek: Anyway, here's a couple on 44's (on back, the only place they SHOULD be on a competition mud bogger), but they're all actually a little tall for my taste (seriously):

The cab was just redone about a year and half before and everything was rebuilt,frame,axles,trany,tranfercase, 9" national spring lift,brand new 39" boggers, you name it, but it weighed in at 7200lbs as it sat in the picture, and it wasn't very woods friendly being so heavy.. This is for the most part a hardcore rock crawling website, but a little diversity never hurt anyone, and we all had to start somewhere right..

Yeah, they're 4wd, but actually when they figure the ratio, they typically do it so that the front spins slightly faster than the rear - helps with steering, which is primarily all the fronts do. The rears provide 80-90% of the forward bite.

BTW, my own personal racer is a complete pile. I dumped all my $ (what little I have) into my sanctioning body :laughing:

Yeah, last time I saw the site, they had just switched over to a real bog pit again & were concentrating on lower & mid-level classes and less on the very upper end. 'Course "mid-level" is a relative term when those guys are running $25,000 engines :laughing:

Ive been thinking about quitting for a while since everyone flames anyone with big lifts and tires. Us with big lifts and tires respect rock crawlers and their rigs but they just arent for us. I just would like them to show people that provide money to the truck industry with a little more respect. Flame me all you want with your responses but the fact is what i have suits me and thats all there is to it, and all other people with big trucks have something that suits them and their needs. just as rock crawlers have something that suits there needs....

someone please tell me where it says rock crawlers only or rock crawlers website...last time i looked it said "Pirate 4x4 Extreme Offroad"

I have 37" MTR with 4" lift and Bushwhacker Flares. You can trim just about 2-3" on each side of the wheel well opening.

I'm not sure it is enough to do hardcore wheeling with. I am building this truck as a "trail clean up" rig and just happen to have the 37s off my Jeep.

Sorry for the poser driveway shots. Truck is not done yet.

there is no other site on the web filled with as much 4x4 technology than pirate4x4, a couple years ago when i was building my 4 wheel steered 2-1/2 ton rockwelled equiped k10 (MUD TRUCK!), was there another site to give me the ins and outs of rockwell axles, 4 wheel steering? no! other than usa6x6, which honestly has some decent ideas and products for cheap, but you usually get the run around when getting your delivered products.
also when i have any engine issues, tooling issues, or anything truck related i come here to pirate4x4 "EXTREME ROCK CRAWLING". i pay for my red star, and i usually keep my mouth shut (hence my low post count) over in the general 4x4 section because anything mud related usually results in being flamed from some "mud hater" from arizona or california. come on guys this isn't the civil war (rock crawlers vs. mud/trail riders), we are all (most anyways) americans here, and our brothers and sister in the u.s. armed forces are dieing overseas for our freedom to "off road"
anyways if there was a mud section here it would keep any mud questions out of the rockcrawlers precious "general 4x4 section"

we "mud" people are all not just stupid hick rednecks! but there is no doubt that most all the rock crawling rigs on this site are far superior than most mud trucks in axle strength, suspension, articulation, and fabrication technology.

For the record, Lance has personally asked me on more than one occasion to take pics & write stories on mud racing events for him to publish here (my camera sucks, so I've always declined). CAMO has asked me to set him up with a chance to drive a pro mod mud racer - nobody's volunteering :laughing:

Most of the really ugly anti-mud comments I've seen here have come from folks who are actually complete nobodies within the rock crawling world.

I don't know that Pirate necessarily needs a mud-only section, but maybe it's time for a ROCK-only section. Those who want to talk rocks exclusively could hang out there, and the rest of us who think there's knowledge to be gained from ALL aspects of the sport could hang out in a "general" 4x4 section ;)

Well, most of both sides are pretty crossover. The main difference is suspension, and the suspensions are generally similar except in height and flex.

It seems to me as long as you don't come out with a questions such as "What's the best way to lift my truck 20"?" Then the flaming is tolerable.

Hell, my truck has over 30" of lift and I've got alot of post in respect to building this rig, and I've mainly got sound advice.

we "mud" people are all not just stupid hick rednecks! but there is no doubt that most all the rock crawling rigs on this site are far superior than most mud trucks in axle strength, suspension, articulation, and fabrication technology.
mud doesent need, articulation, or as much fabbing as most rock rigs. most rock rigs dont need alot of HP, most rock rigs arent going to need as much height as a mud truck. while alot of the tech is the same, its still two different things. but just because its a liltle taller than your "rock crawler" doesent make it a "mall crawler"

Your first point is bullshit. Muddy trails need just as much articulation as rocky ones in my experience all over the east side of the US.

Rock rigs are running 300+ HP engines all over the place.

There is no need for all that height in a mud truck in most case. HP, big tires, traction, good axles, etc. are what make a good mud truck, even in the trail.

Most of the tall trucks that we call mall crawlers are nothing more than '80s technology, leaf spring, overly tall rigs with big tires. They really don't excel at anything except mall cruising, but they are low tech and easy to build for us dumbasses. :flipoff2:

ok enough at mud bog low tech, the low tech stuff is like posted above for the mall crawlers.


here is a bog truck:
3 or 4 link that is adjustable
coil overs
low lift, but runs 44s also
huge horsepower
roll cage
driveshaft loops

so dont say they are all low tech or dont use the same tech

Having built a truck with a lot of lift I can attest to the lack of flex, except from the frame :flipoff2:

That said, the guys in Central Florida doing TGW have some very capable rigs that are absolutely hammered on. Quite a few of them still run leaf springs.

Most of the really ugly anti-mud comments I've seen here have come from folks who are actually complete nobodies within the rock crawling world.

Whether they like it or not this thread is number 10 for posts ever in this forum (not counting the two stickies) and number 8 for views so there is obviously a demand at least here in the Chevy forum.

I dont see where all the "tall trucks are gay mall crawlers" comments are coming from. Who says you cant have a tall truck and still be functional? I took these pics at the Ohio Jamboree a few years ago.

This guy is running Rocks and 44's Looks pretty damn functional to me. Sure its a bit more technical than leaf springs, but thats besides the point.

Although this truck here does have some good stuff on it I think it is still to tall. Ya I know I have a truck fairly tall?? But that one has at least 6-8 inches between the top of the tire and the bottom of the fenders, I really wanted mine to be lower then it is but there is only so much you can cut out of the front fenders and it still look like a truck, That guy should lower it and cut those fenders more!! They are not cut at a!!

That is a horrible example. Not only could I ride a unicycle through that, but look at the suspension. Don't even try to compare that to the suspensions found on crawlers, and desert racers. :rolleyes: I've seen much better rails sitting behind barns...
Or a mountain bicycle section, or a dirt bike section, or a pending Formula Off-Road section, or a competition section with a title that says, "From Mud to Rocks", or...........? ;)

Here is my mall crawler (there isnt a mall within 30 miles of my house) with dana 60 front, corp 14 rear, disks all 4 corners, crossover,sway bar disconnects,detroit in the rear,xd9000,and more gay stuff in its future like a 455 olds big block-49's-doubler and such, and yes my penis is tiny, I also have a stock 77 on 36's with no lift, and a blazer on 40's with 4 inches of lift in the process and a few toyota's. I built a big truck because I wanted one, end of story, I wanted something more trail frinedly, got a toyota, wanted something to beat to shit, got the other chev. The "its not a mud site its a rock crawler site" is why my gay ass hasnt been on here in a very long time, come on guys, put your meatwhistles away, we are all family, we are all wheelers, isnt that all that matters? I hate fords, but when I roll up on one on the trail I dont go "hey your truck sucks go home" That person is there for the same reason as me, to have fun, anybody on the trail is my friend whether I know them or not. And most of these pics are taken in my yard, thats how we live here in Oregon, we live wild and muddy and we like it that way. The last pics were taken a day after I finished my rattlecan wal-mart spray paint job, and I have to have headlight covers to keep the piggies happy, now I gotta go out an hit a few trees and fuck it up so it matches my other chev :smokin:

Where is your sense of humor? I'm FUCKING AROUND. The only thing you quoted that I was serious about was the engineering done to the suspension on the red mud rig.

The only reason for that was because I felt that there were many other examples of vehicles that could keep the "I hate mud" people (WHO YOU THINK I AM) from dogging on all the mud guys. Have you EVER seen me dog on TAWL BOY? No (even though it's tall as balls :flipoff2: ). If something is done right, and built correctly for what it is intended for, then I am extremely impressed.

I grew up mudding. I learned wheeling by mudding. I found that I liked trails because of looking for more challenging/exciting mud hole adventures in high school. And now I'm doing the southeastern rockcrawling... Rockcrawling with some mud just to F with you :grinpimp:

Thanks!!!my kids still watch that video, my oldest now nine was 14 month's old when I was there. I had to have it transfered to a cd they wore it out. That BB will become a 540 here shortly for a drag car. I did go et11.73 at 117mph in the 1/4 with that pig on a 175shot of juice. Destroyed the truck in a bunch of trees wheeling, took it apart and built the jeep. Burnt the jeep down at the Bad Lands. Now doing a YJ on mog 404's, with a BBC.
