I hope to buy a Wildcat next year. Those things are wicked. Especially with some Silverbacks on it.

Once one do get one you want nothing else. 4-wheelers are out dated.

I love my SE rhino.

There are certain situations that a four wheeler is better. We ride rith a RZR alot and we do have to wait on him on the technical stuff. I guess it all depends on where and how you ride. We dod alot of mud riding so we has the snorkels and all of that good stuff. I do want a side by side though. Those technical situation are not common enough to stay on a four wheeler over a SxS.

I've riden for years my self and majority is indeed mud ridding.

I also feel the wider stance on the SxS makes mudding a lot more safe and fun.

Nice! We usually take 5 or 6 but end up hooking up with other riders and riding with them too. Sometimes it can get to be 20+.


I havent been in a couple of months :frown:

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce "Tango Deuce" (short for "The Two-Dollar Hooker"). This is about the best pic I got right now.

-1976 Chevy C-10
-was a stepside, now has a tube bed w/JAZ fuel cell
-narrowed 18" in the nose to improve approach angle
-37" Goodyear MT/R's
-full 1.5" DOM internal roll cage
-TBI 350 swap from carbureted
-race seats with 5-point harnesses

I got a LOT left to do to it (one-tons, lockers, doubler, full hydraulic steering, 42/14x16.5 Pitbull Rockers, etc), she's in no way anywhere close to done. It's at my brother's in Amarillo while I'm on my German vacation for the next little while, and he has a 4x4 shop less than a mile from his place, so I got that working for me. When I get back, though.....it's ON!!!!

Arright, since y'all were so nice about it (and didn't make fun of it, LOL), here's some more pics.

Cage with seats installed (couldn't find orange harnesses to fit with the color scheme)

This pic really shows how much was cut out of the nose.

AndSoItBegins13.jpg



because this is how it looked when I bought her.

Pre-tube bed, pre-fuel cell, pre-TBI swap, pre-cutting the fenders and pre-having a cage, giving it the business trying to get up a wall at a buddy's place.

Oh, yeah. The tube bed. I forgot to mention that I also plan on doing a 4" lift to clear the 42's, so I should have plenty of clearance. Mrs. DeusEx is in this pic, LOL. She's been AWESOME during this whole build. We have a deal, whatever I spend on the rig, she gets to spend in clothes and jewelry. Part of the reason she wears three carats on her left hand......hahahahaha.

Last but not least, the cut-down front fenders.

Thanks, y'all. If y'all want, I'll post pics here as I get them from my brother.

It always seem's like the best spots are illegal... :)

We have ridden and crawled all over east Tennessee and lower eastern Kentucky. Unfortunately times and things change and don’t get out much anymore. But when we do it is normally WindRock for the convenience. The only thing i have left now is my Suzuki Z400.

My first crawler i built was an 86 Toyota cab chassis with Dana 60's on 42" IROCs. Man i loved that truck, wish i never would have sold it.
Second crawler i built was a complete tube chassis on Toyota axles and 37" Krawlers. Both crawlers had a laundry list of parts so i won’t bore you with it.
Right now I am into racing RC cars. Sounds lame but it is a lot of fun and much, much easier on the wallet. We will see what kind of interests my son has when he gets a little older, I would not mind building another crawler.
