It is sad to see anyones truck have an accident, were you running a 4:1 gear reduction in your truck, with the 4:1 it should slow the truck down enough to where if this was to happen again it probably wouldn't so much damage again sorry to see such a pretty truck get damaged.

No DT i do not run the gear reductions in any of my trucks .this was just a stupid decision that cost me my truck at the moment.like i said in the other thread "bad crash with zeus today" there are reasons why i don't run the gear reduction.i just have to be more careful next time..first time in 4 years i have had a bad mishap with any of my trucks...thanks for the compliment.it sucks but it will be back running soon

Looking great Dwayne, I really like the aluminum full fenders, very nice old school custom look. Now adays everyone goes with fiberglass full fender which I'm not a big fan of.
