Who built the truck? It handles very well in that rough stuff. Shocks are tuned in perfect!! I would like to see more pics.

I know I already welcomed you in but that truck looks GOOD! Both aesthetically and setup wise.

Where do I sign up to become a driver for this truck? Lol. That looks like a lot of fun.
Have a great season and post more videos when you get them.

The Truck is a Brenthal Industries Chassis. Smitty and his crew in Phx finished it. We took it as a roller and finished it in two months.
Has a Chevy 441 SB making just under 800 HP. Truck weighs 5300 LBS and runs 39's. It has King Kongs 4.5 on all 4 corners with 4.5 Finned Reservoirs front and rear on the By Pass.
We still have a bunch of testing to do. The Truck works great, and is very competitive as it sits, but we will continue to test the next 6 weeks to get is as close to perfect as we can.
Hawk Performance DC 60's and Brembo 16 inch 6 piston Calipers stop the truck on a dime. Pretty amazing how fast it will stop on a gravel road.
We still have some aero dynamics we need to work on and a total redesign of the hood. It costs us a ton of top speed.

If testing goes well, we will be racing Parker, the Mint and V2r.
