Xtreme 4x4 was supposed to have gone up to Golden Mountain Park in Sparta, TN to debut the truck on December the 5th. I am not for sure if they ended up there or not though as we got a few inches of snow. But either way the truck is done and ready for its debut on TV sometime in the future.

The truck was hauled up to Golden Mtn Off Road Park in Sparta. Where we had TEX and few racers meet us for a day of "muddin"

We did have some snow, and it delayed our start for the day due to some traffic issues....but in the end the truck worked well.....and I think that I may have set some kind of record getting through a mud bog...but man was I cold and wet when I got to the other side......

Now after seeing some of the other "race trucks" it will be torn down and built again....this time with a mild NOS setup on top of hte big block.....

I thought they used a 9" or custom for the front? Not much hacking other then the bed floor insides etc and inner front fenders from what I seen.

Yeah originally I had a 44 in the front, but in the end I swapped it out for the Spidertrax 9" unit because of the dyno numbers from the big block.....

I probably could have made the 44 live with a bunch of Chromo, but since I knew that eventually it would be built into a more competitive racer the investment in the front axle was a good one.

would love to see some of the welded "c" on that spider so you could mud drift it and skim over what the FL trucks need 60 inch rice and cane rubber to churn through.

why put a bottle on it? A 12-71 with some corn brew would be more fun to fly over that there mud!

when is Xtreme's version of sarg rock gonna be on? letting the public in on bobbing a deuce is gonna drop some jaws! way to go!

i think there is a lot of interest in these for both street and off road use. we just need to see them to know how to enjoy them.http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1019/3173042589_4609923e99.jpg

Do you plan on posting photos or will we have to wait until the show airs? It was an interesting project and it would be nice to see it through completion.

Thanks.
