That truck in the Background is my dads 78 F-250 4x4, it has a 400m in it.. We got a snow plow but nothing to hook it up with.. :D We got 4 70s fords so its hard not to get one in a pic.... Thanks Jared.. I am already Injoying it! The trip was fine.. We got on I-70 and just cruized right over 75-80 the whole way.. it was about a 4 hour trip over... The wind kinda sucked.. But the worse part was the guy miss calculated and had to stop 4 times to go to the bathroom Well atleast he wife had to stop.. The best part is we left with a full tank of gas... Drove 420 miles on 3/4th a tank and then put 20 in it to fill it back up and made it all the way home and there on a Tank of gas! the whole trip we only spent $29!!!! Im to excited to be tired ;)

I mounted the 18" turf savers (lawn mower tires :D) on my gold tri-z wheels.. The Z wheels make the rear end wider! I think im gonna go with some 20" tires.. 18s on back and 22s in front looks funny.. What do you guys think?? I still have not spent ANY money on it.. just cleaned up stuff, painted some, and put parts i had lieing around on in!! :-*

I dont know, that looks kinda weird, but if you were to put 20 inch tires on, or go with 19 inch fronts, I think it would look better
Honda300ex
12-24-2003, 01:05 AM
I like my 22" front plus they have like 90% tread.. The rears are just to short.. I like my back tires to be shorter then the fronts.. Dont like rack (where the front end is lower)...... Im wating to order some 20" Fast trekkers but they are all out of stock.. Right now i got my Stockers that have like 2psi in them... the ones on the gold wheels arent even poped on teh beed..

Before you get your new tires, be shure to do some burnouts with those turf savers, lol!
Honda300ex
12-24-2003, 01:11 AM
Thats what im thinking.. Thier not Turf Tamers.. They are Turf Savers... Lol.. They are all dry rotted and hard as a rock.. Should pull some nice smokeys.. :D

hehe.. I got to get it to run before any tire smoking happens!!!!
This evening i striped off the Flat black that was flaking, off the frame.. Primerd it then painted it gloss black.. I come back in about 15-20mins and look and thiers alot of orange peel.. So i have to sand it all out and wash it with soap and water then reprime and paint it.. It looks pretty good right now.. I cleaned up the shocks.. The retards painted flat black over everything, under the black on the shocks is some nice chrome! Mostly right now im still waiting on parts :evil:

That is what I said, about 5 trikes ago ;) . I have yet to buy a running trike, actually the only thing that I have bought running was a moped and that still needed lights :( .
