this is a mates 40 i did not do the right up on it as it was alredy dune

Yonks ago I posted a quick bit of dribble in the general section which has now been on going for the past four plus years.
Someone wanted to know where the build thread is. That was it. Until now... where all the pics that I can give away are together in one heap.
There are around 70 odd photos; I do not yet have permission to shove them all on here.

So, call it : "Matts quick build thread over the past four plus years."

Once upon a time a bloke in Melbourne named Pip had a Tuff Truck. He competed in Tuff Truck sometime around the 2007 and 2008 era.
I should go and look up the proper dates, but I really can't be bothered because someone here will no doubt correct me.

More build pics to come when permission is given.
More current pics (and hopefully video) will be shoved on to here as it comes through.
As at the time of writing, I've been informed that the truck *should* be drivable and on display at Tuff Truck 2012.
Though never believe anything that you read on the interwebs!


Matt came along sometime in 2007-ish or 2008-ish, bought it from Pip and asked Pip to kindly put some more labor of love into it.
From the start, the old girl was going to run one of the largest 4wd DOT legal tyre that this country has seen. The 54" Interco Bogger.

Sent from deep in the mountains of Honduras using only sticks and rocks.
 
By far, worth the wait. Does he have to compete in a special class?
 
Faaaarrkk..
 
So you know you are on the hook to post up some vids of it during some comps, right?
