Yeah considering they don't make that tire in a 42... I'm guessing it's a 38-39.5 like you said...

I noticed that too. I like the fact that it has a FTS kit. (FindTheStash lol) but im not really feeling the whole "once-was-90s-show-truck" look

Edit: i can tell its an FTS (12-14") kit from the cut out diamonds on the front drop bracket.

Don't feel bad guy I'm just posting what my uncle said. He may be off on some things but I don't care cuz its not my truck. The truck will go through anything even with all the problems it does have. He bought It the way it sits and something's we're not done correctly and he is in the process of fixing it.the dealer problably told him a lot of things the aren't correct about it. He doesn't really give and damn though. That's his baby and he doesn't care what people think because he is madly in love with it an will never think other wise.

In all seriousness though, it's an ok looking truck on my Droid... I'm sure him and his uncle didn't build it by the sound of not really knowing what is got but when it comes to lifts and such and your building your own stuff, there's certain engineering guidelines one should follow, like, stop and think how something works and where the force is going...


Like a traction bar... It pushes and pulls in line with itself, so don't just drop it's frame bracket straight down like is a shock tab that pushes up and down... Triangulate it back to the frame and grab another bolt or bead of weld in line with its force instead of being empty behind it's force...

Like I said it was bought the way it sits so something's we know and some we don't. If it was built by us everything would be exact but all we can do is build it better as we go.

Yeah, I figured it's a work in progress and things would be fixed if he bought it like that...

That's why I wasn't like "FML! get that thing off those stilts and back to the drawing board!"

Ya i understand. I also think everytruck has its problems and his truck has problems because its a truck its meant to be used. Everyproblem that is has comes from either helping someone out of a situation or because the original owner half assed some things and they break. Once something does break he builds it bigger and better. He is sponsered by alot of people in El Paso and was aked to racce in the monster jam show were he took 4th of 30 and nothing broke. 18 of the trucks broke and he lost to a baja proffesional.
