I like the rims in the yellow racer in your signature! Where did you get those?

Thanks guys.

@Andy those are standard rims with a custom beadlock we made at the shop. Just weld one plate to the rim, and squish the tire with the other side. Ours have beadlocks on both sides of the tire.

oh wow that's sick. so what psi are you running in the tires since you don't need to worry about them coming off the rim?

For racing it depends on track conditions. When we first built them, I ran 0 psi for testing purposes and didn't have an issue. Although some air pressure is needed for ride quality.

I do like it, but as I consider it with each passing day, it might be better to have both characters on the ground, and John McCain behind the sticks.

I think all those leakers should be on the ground. My son spent 6 years in the marines and his mother and I couldn't have a full conversation on the phone with him because he would always say I can't talk about that, all he said was everything is fine. These upper office people are giving info to news agencies. Something doesn't seem right there.

Hard to take good photos of your own machine when your driving it lol
Since speed seems to be the subject so far how about some inside wheel lift on some high speed Coot turns

Cruising around in the creek. And AllWheelDrive before me was right, hard to take a pic when you're driving the machine.

Since I haven't had time to go out and create a new photo opportunity, this will have to do.

Great submissions everyone! It's cool to see what these 6x6 (and some 8x8) machines can do out in the wild.

The voting poll is up now. It will timeout in 3 days, and then the winners will be decided. Good luck!

I've been part of forums that had tens of thousands of members, might get 70 votes on a poll. A forum usually has 100x more members than are actually active on a week to week basis.

Thanks Plott Hound and to everyone who voted for my picture. I teach a Summer Camp and the last two years they have built a 6x6. Hopefully if all goes well next Summer it will be a Gotcha. I think I have most if not all the parts to put one together. The students really love it!
