Congrats!

Just read over the article last night, nice spread. It's great to see a big 80 article mixed in with all the buggies. Nice work!

George did you have to trim to fit the 40's in the fenders? Because I don't think physically a 40 inch tire can't fit between the wheel wells.

Now you can relocate the tank elsewhere. That will make room for a CRAWLER.

George, got the mag yesterday. Nice write-up! Its nice to see 80s getting the attention they deserve, especially yours. But I guess you have to have portals to get it. That makes me miss the hills of Tennessee even more. Great work George! Now send me those portals!

Nice work George. Well-deserved considering the originality of your truck and the well-thought-out modifications you've accomplished.

Good work.

Cheers.

You can get a those hitches at any Tractor Supply or on ebay. The 3FE sticker was from the Yahoo 3FE forum, I heard they quit making them.
