Thanks Kaderabek. Needless to say....I have LOTS of money in BIG TEX. After I got it built by Jeremiah Proffitt at Proffitt's Cruisers, I added tons of upgrades and I believe whoever buys Big Tex will not be disappointed.

Matthew only got to go wheeling 1 time in 2010 and is getting married 4/16/11 so our wheeling day's together are over.

I have already sold Meanie, the Dooley & trailer. It's an awesome hobby and we had a blast wheeling Moab, Oklahoma, & Arkansas but it's time to let someone else enjoy BIG TEX. The rig is ready to hit the trail.

I think the new Pitt Bulls have only 2 wheelin' trips on them. Cheers !!!

Bump for BigTex!

Russ, I'm really sorry to see you selling BigTex and getting out of the sport. Who ever gets him will have a great rig.

His little bro" Meany is still going strong. Actually added turn indicators and got it licensed and street legal.

I just added 5.13 gears, redid the rear link geometry and added tube fenders, doors and sliders. The girls enjoy this way too much........I'm getting tired of hearing "Chicks Rule!" at the end of each trail

Heres a few pictures of our last trip to Moab. You should just keep BT and come out and wheel with us.

AWESOME !!! I have to log on more often.... I just saw this post. I'm glad you are enjoying Meanie and she sure looks good. My son Matthew and I really enjoyed wheelin' over the years but times change, Matthew is getting married 4/16 so he has OTHER things on his mind these days, and we felt it was time for a change. But hey...don't feel sorry for me.... I have new Toys !

1978 Mooney M20J and a 2000 Maule M7-235C

Have fun and keep the the tires on the ground !
