This is "Little Trucker". So it started like this. My friends and I wanted to see how our cars would do if we took them out to the nearby OHV park (the locals know it as Greenhorn). I tried at first to use a 1991 Hyundai Excel, but after a 65 mph jump (which we completely cleared the 10 ft wide creek), we kinda killed the car for good. So when I found this car for $500. I bought it. I kept it mostly stock but the tires weren't doing well in the terrain out there (mostly sand with some small rocks when climbing the hills). So at first I added I bought some ATV tires and wheels.
If anyone wants to do the same, I recommend Yamaha Banshee 11x8 in wheels (10 in wheels rub on the brake calipers) and 22x10-11 tires. I'm currently using 10x8 wheels and 22x10-10 GBC Dirt Devil tires.
They work great in the sand and also on the rocks. With enough momentum, I can climb a hill in 2 wheel drive that my friend in a Toyota pickup has to put in 4 wheel drive. I even keep up with my friends on their dirt bikes and ATVs. The car has survived 4 times out there, but last Thanksgiving, I had to limp it home. I ripped one of the mounts out of the radiator (I don't recommend hitting jumps at 35 mph without strengthening the front end)
and cracked the trannny case which spilled is fluids. Now I'm in the process of putting another tranny in, new clutch, new rear tires, & custom ABS snorkel. By the way, yes, those are marker lights on the roof & sides and a CB antenna on the roof. So now it has a used tranny in it. I also trimmed up the fenders to help clear the tires. I'm having porblems with my computer right now, but I'm gonna try to get updated pics up soon.
