This is my 2003 Ford F250 V10 1989 Jeep Cherokee 6 inch lift on 35 inch tires. And one for Monte. This is my hunting cart. I need to lift it a hair and get some good tires on it. The trim is olive green now.

You've got some nice toys pitbull! anthony - you better be careful on that thing! +1. Let me tell you something Anthony...I'm lucky to be alive today after wrecking one of those machines. As much as I always loved to ride, I will never get on a streetbike again. I'm not scared to get on one, I just know the how vulnerable a person is on one of those things. Let me tell you a couple of stories just to scare the hell out of ya... When I was about 18 or 19 yrs old I was "hotdogging" on a motorcycle. I was riding wheelies behind a carload of hotties in a convertible. I decided to pass them and ride a wheelie as I was going around them. Once my front tire got back down on the ground I hammered the throttle and was going about 80mph as I entered the east side of my hometown. My helmet had a tinted shield which sometimes made it hard to see at night and I was running so fast (80mph in a 30mph zone) that I didn't realize I was at "the curve" already. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it around the curve which also has a creek that runs under it. I knew if I tried to make the curve I would probably hit the guardrail and get launched into the creek. Remember all these thoughts are going through my head in probably less than a second. So, I made a last second decision to just run straight off the curve and hope for the best. In doing this I had to squeeze between and road sign and the end of the guardrail which hitting either one probably would've been fatal! One problem! There was about a 12' dropoff straight off the curve! I remember thinking "Oh, Sh!t!" (sorry but I'm keeping the story real, ya'll would've said the same thing anyhow) and me and the bike launched into the air (like Evil Knievel ). When I "landed" the landing was so rough the bike bucked me a few feet into the air and then it landed upside down right on top of me. Ouch! I will say the helmet saved me life though! When I hit the ground my head hit first and the helmet prevented my neck from snapping by only allowing my neck to move just a little bit in all directions. I only ended up with a few broken ribs and a boatload of grass stains. This was also the moment I believed there was a God as something very supernatural happened during all this but I'm not gonna go into that here . I also had a buddy that T-boned a car that pulled out in front of him. He went through multiple surgeries and 3 yrs of rehab. If he was in a car he probably wouldn't have had a scratch And finally...my cousin and his best friend were racing late, late one night many years ago. There was some patchy fog but they were on a road that they knew well. My cousin decided to back off because of the fog and he had hoped his buddy would do the same. Well, he didn't. They had a place they would always meet if they got seperated during a ride and he expected him to be there. He wasn't there. Of course, this was prior to the cell phone age so he didn't have a way of trying to call him other than leaving a message at his home phone. My cousin then back tracked to the place where he last saw him but could not find any signs of him until he stumbled upon some skid marks going off of a curve. Straight off this curve a couple hundred feet is a loading dock. My cousin found his buddy dead down in this loading dock that he had hit going approximately 120mph. I told you those stories because I don't want to read your obituary on this site because of that bike. I want to remind you to BE CAREFUL!

My grandpa wrecked on a 1930's Indian in front of St. Vincents hospital in Indy (where my dad is now) he broke a couple of ribs and shattered his pelvis into 29 pieces and had to spend 6 months in the hospital, motorcycles are definitely dangerous.

Thanks for the stories guys, but you can't sway me. I've been riding for a while, and if I lay this one down, it would'nt be the first time,(and porbably not the last.) I don't care much for street bikes, I prefer a cruiser, but I could'nt pass on it cause the price. The second time I was living in Las Vegas, I layed down a Honda nighthawk, ( not from speed, but slick road conditions) and spent the rest of the summer in a leg cast because i broke my Knee in the joint, so needless to say, I usually try to be as cautious as a guy can (but still have a little fun ). Also I've had to get my permit and RETEST again since my previous liscense was from another state, so I get a good refresher course. As far as helmets, dont worry, I will be wearing one. My buddy threw in his helmet that he bought new with the bike ( nearly $800 ). its an ARAI racing helmet. Sorry to hear bout your accident and cousins buddy Strippit. BUT as a rider, you need to take into consideration any inherant dangers, or dont ride. BASICALLY I'm saying THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERNS AND I WILL BE SAFE.

Monty, you have to post a pic now Ooohhh, that's a sore subject. We had VIDEO evidence of how dangerous a lifted cart can be, but "somehow" it got deleted from Booey's camera. It could have been a million view youtube video. Trust me.
