Making Of The Willy Mammoth

[Lady Di]

i got to see it in person on the 23rd and the pics do no justice to what has been done in a short time. some badass fab has gone into this along with a ton of work. keep it up

and thanks for dinner and drinks it was great to meet and shoot the

it sure was. We had a great time.

i tried to "save target as"  and it wont work right

You can't do a 'save target as' with photobucket. It runs from the website
but its only 3mb.

I think you can if you get the utube downloader.

You can't see the dents in the hood in that video, but a couple weeks ago he inadvertantly backed into. I got swamper dents in my hood!

Mark's putting a muffler on it now before a neighbor has a

I saw that damage too, but when he drives around it in the video he hit it again.






Screw the neighbor.

now that is sweet man i cant wait to go to mcr one day hopefully soon but i don't know i have to see whats going on with the truck put all my shocks, on do the roll cage, fire extinguisher, half doors, lockers, and High steer and so one but it so nice to hear the tire barking 

[kneedownnate]

That's too cool!  I couldn't help but laugh when you took off from the driveway, looks nothing like the old diesel!

[Lady Di]

Well he's got the muffler bearings tightened, and added a grease fitting to keep them lubed.

[Willy Mammoth]

It's a lot quieter now with the muffler on, but still sounds cool.

Doesn't sound like a hot rod, but sure feels like one.

Almost a little scary to be honest, gets up to 60 in a real hurry and just about the time you go to grab 5th gear, you remmember you don't have one.

Mark you rock!  I just love the little love tap the nissan gets! 


No, wait, that was get out of my way tap, you pile of nissan!!

[welder2000]

Mark you are most definitely a master of fabricating and congradlations on finishing a project that not many would have tried little alone dun such a clean job. I hope that the Mammoths will be comming to Marlins shop soon as I would love to swing by and look at this master piece in person.

If things go as they usually do we'll be at Marlin's shop by about Sept. 11-12 before heading up for MCR6.

As usual, he took off before I was ready or I would have been closer to the road and you could have heard the tires barking in first and second a lot clearer.
But MAN does it feel GREAT! He's got to put a muffler on it though, it's LOUD.

 I got exo cage sanded and am in the process of re-painting them. hoping the rain will hold off.  :crossed;

[topar]

Weather channel tells me you guys are getting rain 

[Lady Di]

We're always getting rain somewhere, but they are usually small storms. I'm checking weather.com. It's just rattle can and in this heat it'll dry fast enough.
We're still clear for now.

[Lady Di]

  that's done. I WORKED ON THE MAMMOTH! YAY ME!

[85yodaon33s]

well count me out on that one you guys coming down to marlins before you head up to rubicon if so when so i can look at the mammoth um close so i can admire the about of labor and fab work you have put in to it

[Lady Di]

We should be at Marlins by the 11th or 12th. We'll be posting on our Sightings of thread on the road so you can keep track of where we are and when.

[85yodaon33s]

sweet cant wait for you all to come to fresno so i can come she the mammoth

[CTENG in KS]

Beastmaster will be there too...she doesn't have the Mammoth's recognition yet though...

[Willy Mammoth]

Next question to figure out is I need taller gears, the engine has so much torque that 5.29's and 38's is too low.

Do I change to 4.88's in all three thirds or go from 38's to 42's?

42's might rub a bit and I will have a tough time getting it in the garage. That and I might start breaking more parts.

It will take about a week of working nights to change all the gears and I only have about 4 weeks at best.

[Colt]

go from 38's to 42's?

And if your Mammoth rubs in the garage, cut the garage out 

[MiniSimp]

I say 42's and air down to get in the garage.

[BUBBA]

  go with 42's,then you can give me a good deal on the 38's
