    That had nothing to do with too much power, that was the result of no power.

    Too much power and a stuck throttle lead to the brakes going out, based on the driver's own comment: "In a normal car throttle sticking at 2200 RPM’s is not the end of the world, in my car that’s 900 ft/lbs of torque. I should have realized the load that was putting on the brakes. Didn’t cross my mind at the time."

    Went back to video and watched the entire video. Maybe the lack of power is having the power to make a better decision at the time the owner recognized a problem and not getting sucked into the element of showing off his car. Then perhaps for legal reasons it is a shame not one mention about the wellbeing of the innocent others involved especially in the vehicle they hit. But what kind of brakes are going to stop a car with that kind of power if there is a failure with throttle control at full throttle?

    That's subjective. I think I need a ride to verify. :D

    I love driving this thing! The 4l80 with the lock up converter is amazing on the freeway and it’s so freaking stable at 90mph

    Is the back fully open behind the seats or just shoulder up? Guessing it's a nice day cruiser rather than a downpour rider.

    The lower half is paneled in and I need to build a rear window frame next to seal the truck up

    You should make a trip out to California, it’s amazing and affordable especially since you can camp anywhere you want!

    Affordable AND amazing? Surely this must be sarcasm.

    the wheel well proportion with the 4” stretch looks right on. Amazing work.

    what are the flaps hanging down underneath that look like mudflaps? Are those to protect from sand splash?
