    Negative Ghostrider nothing wrong with a truck full of tools. My 150 sits about the same when i have the fourwheeler loaded up.

    We used to have a 4 wheel jamboree in Anderson 20+ years ago, and a few guys came up from Florida and all their trucks were done like that. Now, these weren't $50,000 trucks, and they sure weren't mall crawlers. I asked one of them why they did that and he told me they had very deep mud holes, and the front being higher kept the front end from plowing, when they bailed off in a hole it made the mud splash back under the rig rather than over the windshield, and it made the front tires act like paddles and the back tires push like an outboard. We took them to our playground in pelzer, and I can attest that as stupid as it looks on a street truck, it works in the mud.

    And don't ever go mud bogging with a dude from Florida unless you can swim, cause them dude's won't stop spinning the tires until there's water over the steering wheel.

    Was this the same year the corvette on 44’s was out there playing? Been out there many of times. We used to do that show. Hell we ruined a brand new set of 39” supper swamper irocks doing burnouts around that outside road.

    Let them do their thing. Why does a man worry about what the boys are doing?

    Yep. The dude that owned that Corvette was out there. He owned a small paving company, and one time he had the vette, his dump truck, his bobcat, and his tow rig all stuck at the same time in the big hole.

    If you've been to "the field" on the river then we've probably met. I was president of the renegade club for 10 years.

    Well small freaking world. Im sure we have. I remember all of them stuck at one time. I got my Tacoma stuck trying to go thru the long straight hole. I had abunch of pics from back in those days and got rid of them a few years ago. To many pics of half naked girls and stuff my wife didn’t like and my daughters sure as hell didn’t ever need to see.

    Definitely some good times. People don't believe me now when I tell them that in its' heyday it was nothing on a holiday weekend to have 2 or 300 rigs down there and over 1000 people, from all over the southeast. If you remember a black blazer on 39's or a white z-71 on one tons with 44" swampers that said"white trash" across the tailgate, those were mine.

    You remember the step side baby blue z71 on dana 60’s, it had 39 irocks on 24’s. Thats the one we ruined the tires on. Another buddy had the blue z71 on 40’s that said “while your down there” across the windshield.

    I remember those trucks. I'll try to dig up some pictures if my ex wife left any here (still a good trade if she didn't). Were you at the Anderson speedway when we had the truck tug of war?

    We had a tug of war at the speedway one night where we hooked truck to truck and let them see who could pull each other. The rear driveshaft on one truck broke and went INTO the gas tank. I flagged the driver to stop, and he wouldn't because his front tires were still pulling, and he was unaware that his rear driveshaft was inside his gas tank still spinning. Long story short, I may still hold the record for a fat guy clearing a 12' fence between the track and the bleachers to get the heck out of dodge.

    Smarter than the old trend of doing it to a mid-80’s olds with ~3000 miles left before the engine blows.

    What a small world! I went to every one of the Jamboree's, and we always went to the Renegade pond for the after party! I have countless hours of video footage from those events and at the pond that I converted from HI8 tapes to digital on my computer. My friends and I competed in the rock crawl competition they had in the parking lot. I loved that event every year and hate it ended. They tried to have a similar event at the Greenville Pickens speedway called the Great American Motor Fair but it didn't take off and only happened the one time.
