Talking Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
Well we are taking about doing truck pulling at the meets so here is my truck. Their will be no secrets with mine as I am going to show you a step by step build of my Globe Liner.

Firs step dump all of the parts out on the rotary table and for the new guys this is how you should do it.





Next get rid of the instructions and that nasty pink off the shocks. The pink is very easily removed with ZEP-A-LUME aluminum cleaner 10 times faster than ez off and no where near the mess.



Thanks for looking more to come later today.
Travis AKA the ***hole

Dumping it all out is much easier it is all right their in front of you. Well here are some build pics and a video of the test run will be posted when it is done down loading.





















Now I just need to get some body work done and paint it.

Thanks for looking.

Here is the video of the test run. At the beginning the truck is in 3rd gear and wide open then I put it in 1st. The rest of it is just seeing that it all works OK. Izzy those are RC4WD Roadys, they were part of the last order.




Thanks for looking.
