I always knew your truck was awesome but Ive never seen so many pics at once, its way better than I remember. How come you were gonna sell it? I thought Id have to sell mine too but I was always glad that I knew nobody would buy it...

thanks for all the compliments guys

as far as the T-56 and the for sale issue- times are tough, as everyone knows. and im struggling, and the truck is expensive. but i decided that i want to keep it forever, turn it into a monster when i get back on my feet. the T-56 came out as a result of being too busy and too broke. i have 24s on the truck now, and did most of the time i had the T-56. the tires are tall, 32.6" and i run a 3.73. the gearing just didnt work, and was stressing the clutches out too much. i went through three clutches, four actually. it became too many late nights swapping and buying new clutches. but through discussion, and heavy thought...

when i do my LSX/TVS build next year, the T-56 will be going back in. but this time, a tru-trac with 4.10s, a 32" tire, and a stout twin disc clutch will be accompanying it. that, or the 70e takes a dump and a twin disc is cheaper... whichever comes first lol.

bobby- track reopens mid october is what ive been told, and ive got my DRs im ready
