Looking at the first pic I thought; yeah it's a waste of good shocks but at least they took the time and put stout axles under it. 44's and 10 Bolts seem to be really common. As shown buy the last pic. People are so dumb.

I took my camera with the expectation of taking some pics of cool shiat but didn't snap any photos. Super disappointed in the lack of product and actual four wheel drive vehicles. WAY too many desert rigs. And everyone i asked about shocks wanted way more than i paid for mine. Some company was asking $270 for 2" sway-a-ways. What a friggin rip off. Overall impression,poor.

Sloan, were you and brad there today? I was down there, hunting for you all, but couldnt find ya. I had a blast, and my bud with a digi cam took some pics.. but I gotta get them from him before I can post.. All I can say is, it was decent, of course, Ive never been, but let me tell you, I got some GOOD ideas for my rig... And as always, the show made me want to do SO much stuff to my rig... kinda hard when I dont have the cash <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

Hmmm that toyota isn't even a TRD...and what's with the limiting straps on the first Chevy p/u they look maxed out <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">!!!

I'm not sure about the New chevy avalance. I don't like it's looks but it was a well meaning idea from chevy. I could have swore I saw spy photos of it as a two door, in which case I would think it was SWEET, not alas 4doors on that big-a-rig is too many for me.

Hey fawker got your note. <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0"> My wife pointed that chick out to me when all she was just wearing was the bathing suit top and bottoms. No see through cover. Had i not had the wife there i would have taken ALL KINDS!!!

On another note, i can't stand that assasin. In one of your pics you can see where the housings leak. $10,000 and axle and those fawkers better never leak.

Tin Bender, hottrod, Stomper, and the fatkid made the show Sat. It wasn't a total loss, we looked at a new bender that can do the same work as another machine except it was was 5k cheaper. And that first pic, you notice that they couldn't run a front drive shaft? <IMG SRC="smilies/rainbow.gif" border="0">

Fatkid I saw you TinBenders out there in that long ass line. I aslo noticed that <IMG SRC="smilies/rainbow.gif" border="0"> Chevy out in the parking lot and asked that kid that owned it what he planned on doing for a driveshaft since he had too much chrome crap in the way he said he had a triple yoke shaft being made for it ????

What's up with that? see us and don't even say hello. It kind of seem strange, that kid with the chrome stuff had to be about 20 years old! What do you think he got into that sucka! <IMG SRC="smilies/grinpimp.gif" border="0">

When I saw you guys I was just about to get to the ticket booth looking to get my FREE weekend at the Edgewater but I got SCREWED. The chick said we did not make it in the first 500. Besides you guys looked all intimidating in that Tin Bender attire <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">
