I saw them pulling that wagon around with 2 kids in it. It needs more track width.

Haha that and some sort of motor to get those tires spinning. I'm sure it wasn't easy lugging that around all day. It's cooler than a typical red radio flyer wagon lol

This years Truck Nationals is the fourth consecutive First Place Win.

All Ford Nationals 2x in Bronco Trail Class. Which included Early Broncos, Bronco iis and Full size Broncos.
Truck Nationals 2x in Extreme 4x4 Trail Class which was all makes and models.
At the All Ford show the people vote on the rig.
At the Truck Nationals in the Extreme 4x4 Trail class Roush Creek does the judging and it's different then the rest. It's more of a "Form Follows Function" thing and the amount of ingenuity in the build and the amount of DIY, where Bling and a fancy paint job don't count. Note mud on the tires.

I have a 97 two door with 99 front bumper and rear hatch almost done with a 5.0 swap no lift yet and im running 31x 10.5 bfg ATS. I have been up there before for the ford nats but that was with my older muscle car friends. Be careful on the beaches even with the tag denrec will fine the hell out of you for just riding. When I was a kid we used to go up to C&D canal but denrect ran us out of there too.

Yea i go to the canal every once in awhile. It's really hard to get that mud off your truck. Theres something special about canal mud if pressure washers cant even take the brown dye fully off.

See ya at the shows next year.
