Cody's 2002 build "The Tank"

screw this trailer business..where is the SAC!!

 

the whole being laid off for 3 months hurt the wallet!

 

Not to deter you from doing it, but do you really NEED a trailer? I fully get the "cool" factor but there are drawbacks to hauling a trailer around too. If you really don't need the extra space for gear etc, it might not be worth the effort.

For me it as totally necessary since my family likes to go on the trips I take. A wife, 4 kids and gear for several days for everyone just isn't going to all fit. But if I go wheeling/camping 10 times, I bet I take the trailer 3-4 times out of 10.

 

that would do it..

i agree with Adam..im not even close to filling a full bed totally yet on trips that are well over a week with myself and a passenger..

 

it'd be nice to be able to leave all my gear at the campsite rather than haul it all with me. and when i do go camping my truck is totally maxed out. i really have less than 3ft of bed space to work with my tire gate in the bed.
and when i do SAS/ do my tube bed i'm going to have 0 bed space. so a trailer was already in the planning stage. now that my pup(who is over 50lbs at 4.5 months) is going with me on my trips + a lady friend i have no extra room whatsoever.
i should be able to put all camping stuff in the trailer and then carry trail stuff with me in the truck.

 

so...start welding

 

i'm going to pick up tubing tomo or next week!

 

sooo for the time being i'm going to leave this right here

Import Alliance(google it) was here last weekend and my photographer buddy came down to shoot it. He got a merch spot and wanted me right there with him so we had front row parking at the busiest spot of the event. It was awesome to hear everyone talking about my truck considering it is a car meet. oh yeah, also got some sick shots from him of the tank. i'll post the others when i upload them

 

Haha lifted truck in the midst of le wilde hipster cars lol

 

^it was awesome dude. i could be a few parking lots away and still hear people talking about my truck. next year i'm going to be covered in mud and try to have some fab work to show off. like my trailer, maybe the rear cage.

another shot.

one more

 

your truck makes me want 37's on IFS damn you!

 

Haha that would be awesome!

 

DO IT!

 

yea i was looking into the military surplus 37's or even treadwright makes a 37 but they are all 16.5" wheels may have to do it when my 33s take a dump but i dont think that will be for awhile these treadwrights look brand new and ive have them almost a year!

 

treadwrights scare me. idk if i could ever personally run them.
and yeah all the locals who've ran the military tires hate them

 

Looks sick!!! What rims did you have on it in the first few pics?

 

first few as in current?

 

Sorry, I meant when you started the this thread.
