I haven't had any one try and take my tire *knock on wood*, I run the ratchet straps through the holes in the rims and it keeps it from going any where..
And here's the view I have when i walk out to my truck in the morning..
bmxking5 07-07-2005, 10:34 PM Looks good Doug...but please get off your comp and GO INSTALL THAT ATLAS!!!!!!!
TheFox88 07-08-2005, 12:04 AM Awesome looking truck man!
BigDave!!! 07-08-2005, 01:53 AM doug,you wouldnt happen to have a cardomain page would you?

yeah yeah yeah.. all in due time, I got to much other crap going on. No I don't have a cardomain page.
For those who don't know, us explorer owners up here refer to Doug's truck as "Tool"... partly because that's what he used to call everyone constantly, but mostly just because we know he hates it ;) :D
I still think this picture is funny.....
99stocksport 11-27-2006, 10:09 PM wow your sport is so awsome, it is basicaly every thing that i want mine to eventually be.
Premier 01-25-2007, 06:11 PM Why doesnt your truck work?
FROADER 01-25-2007, 06:12 PM It is owned by Doug... :p:
Blee1099 01-25-2007, 06:18 PM I second that reason..
Paraphoe 02-25-2007, 04:54 PM How the hell'd you fit 35s under a 3 inch BL and TT/S?
Blee1099 02-25-2007, 05:07 PM Mr. Sawzall & fender flares and lack of caring.. Honestly though, alot of the 2nd gen sports, like BenS are able to run 35s simply by trimming some sheet metal.

That's about what I suspected. I'll stick to an attempt to get 33s under. Awesome truck Doug, you make me jealous.
Thanks, I gotta get it back from SVO so I can get it fixed up and wheeling again.
Premier 04-09-2007, 04:56 PM Why does SVO have it?

Doug & Jeff came to an agreement that Jeff would repair the truck while Doug was deployed overseas for, I believe, the 1354 manual transfer case. Unfortunately its still not fixed and Doug hasn't been able to pick it up. Doug if I fly to Tx, can I keep it? :D :D
SuRrEaLNJ 04-09-2007, 06:44 PM ya know posession is 9/10ths of the law

What needs repaired on it? Is Doug back in the USA?
Blee1099 04-10-2007, 10:44 AM Yeah he's back but hasn't been able to go TX to pickup tool. Damn army training getting in the way.. I think all it needs now is just driveshafts.
Premier 04-10-2007, 10:50 AM Thats not bad.. just driveshafts, he can get those at a junk yard or does it need special ones with the 35's?

He needs special ones for the Atlas :p:
Premier 04-10-2007, 12:08 PM Oh.. I didnt know he had an atlas.. I guess I should have looked at the mod list
Yes I have an atlas. One of these day's I'll pick up my truck but Jeff's and I schedules have been crazy and I haven't been able to pick my truck up yet. I put the atlas in before I deployed but Jeff is getting the driveshafts made for me. I'm hoping to pick my truck up at the end of the month, hopefully my driveshafts will be ready. I'd really like to do some wheeling this summer, it's been a LONG time since I've done any real wheeling. I really appreciate Jeff watching my truck while I've been gone. While I hope to get my truck back soon unfortunantly I'm deploying again to Iraq in November so I won't be able to enjoy it for to long. I hope to wheel the shit out of it this summer and get my jolly's before I deploy again for 15 months (thanks SecDef).
FROADER 04-15-2007, 01:13 AM before I deploy again for 15 months (thanks SecDec).
WTF, AGAIN?
We're going to a part of this big push into Baghdad. The funny part is we already have our Cav battalion deployed, and one of the infantry battalion is also deploying soon. There is only going to be one infantry battalion left for the rest of us to deploy with. I'm in a light infantry unit and thats what we do, we deploy. :\
yo doug whats happening any updates on if you picked up tool or any shots of that nice atlas 2 under that white Sport.
you still independent in the front with an atlas??
thats would be super hardcore.
what ratio you get for it 5to1??
