That rig is freakin bad ass! Upside down bezel or not. I'd kick the bezel police square in the sack if they tried to touch my bezel!

Don't worry dog walker you're the only one that wants to touch your bezel

That cruiser is out of Helena, Montana, there was a couple pics in an issue of CRAWL and a write up in 4wheel sport utility, Before Crawl had thier problems they were talking about coming back up and doing a feature on it ! If there coverage of the Divide Run ever makes print there will be some pics in there I'm sure .. I will see if I can get ya some contact info and the date of the mag coverage just need to do some diggin to find what issue it was

It is a sweet 40

FOUND IT......4wheel drive sport utility December 2008

You could also PM "PDC RNR" here on pirate and he could lead ya further on your search if that dont work, contact ADVANCED FRAME WORKS,they should have info for ya..

There was a cool build up of a 1:10 scale reproduction of this cruiser on MUD awhile back.
This thread has a few comparison shots of the model to the real truck. Nothing that shows any real detail of the front suspension, but it does appear to be linked on coilovers with a drivers side drop Dana 60.

Dunno the drivetrain combo (prolly a V8 just seeing the alum radiator), & from what I can tell, it's just got links & 1 tons. The last version of KATE visually this one easy

It is out of Montana. I met the owner at the 07 Divide Ride. I believe he hangs with the guys at Land Cruisers NW. It is a beautiful 40.
