I personally like the truck, the body work is awesome with the molded flares and visor and it has a drop bed as well. I am pretty sure it was built with a show truck theme in mind. In the case it would be an old school style with lots of shocks.... I have a Bruiser with 12 shocks



I need to find a some nice 3" ones for the rear part because the 4" ones are way to long and it has NO travel...although it doesnt really matter because this truck is a shelf queen...

yes, they look gay when there is 8" between the top of the tires & the bottom of the rocker panels. A lifted truck needs the right size lift & tire combo.

I personally dig the truck, I have been to many 4x4 jambo's and this would fit in perfictly in the show truck scene. I'm with Mike on this one, it looks sweet, and the bodywork looks killer. 10 out of 10 to the builder!

I like it...

When Mr. Boyer finishes my XJ and YJ the black true flamed 350 will get build by him as a "show" truck

Thanks for some ideas

obnoxiously overdone show trucks....................LOVE IT
would I ever want to own a 1:1 version? yes.
would it make sense to build a truck that big and with an ott paint job? no?

Don't care for the bodylift, but still a nice truck.


There's a few nice builds like these at bruiserbuilder

I don't care for them too much. I knew that these were overdone when I walked under a Ford Excursion a few years ago. But for being R/C, I like these. Lots of tlc.

I like stupid tall show trucks for what they are. Impractical for sure but if done right they can be wicked looking. Some day I'd still like to build an RC of my 1:1 truck.

I love the green supercab but I wish it had been done on 1.9's.
