Anything with 54" tires is always pretty cool in my book.... as longs as its built right

4 Wheeler Mags Titan with 54's:


94 GMC with 54's for mud bogging:


And anything with 54's is definatly unique

That VW gives me an idea:

Samurai drivetrain, VW diesel, VW body, fool the state and register it as a VW.  :screwy:

Fool the state?  Just for fun, or do you have something to gain from it.  My jeep is all chevy but I used my jeep body and it saves me a ton in insurance and cause its over 11 I dont have to re-register it.

Yup,that's my buddie Tonka Joey.Actually back when it was featured it didn't have a Ranger body,it still had a standard cab long bed F-350 body on it.Last I heard it's new heart transplant (Duramax Diesel) will be done by TDS (March).

That thing is sick...I wish they would have kept the 54's on there but I believe they are back to the 46 claws.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

They thrashed on it with the 54's and finally broke one of Bobby Longs new D60 CV;s, but it was an older model.  They are upgraded to a new 300M cage, so far, no breakage.
