The Trophy Diesel...

[philofab]

Nice! What's a wrap like that cost?

The truck used about $600 in material (50 ft x 5 ft wide), and took about 40 hours to do (Three people for three days). Retail on this job would be about $3500-$4500. I didn't pay that much, and Eric said he would never do another wrap job again for what I actually payed. The truck had to be extensively cleaned and disassembled. Door handles, mirrors, trim, grill, lights, bumpers, roof rack, tank covers, fender liners, ect. It came out really nice with almost 0 flaws, better than I had hoped due to the scratches and other imperfections on the truck.

If you guys need a high end detail, paint correction, or wrap work call Eric at Envious Detailing. Super nice guy to deal with and was right on the money with time projections.

Plus I saw on the facial book that you will be plasti-dipping the grille, etc. Have you used that stuff before? I stumbled across it while on a tundra site looking for parts. Watched a few you-tube vids on it & it looks pretty cool.

Yea, works great. I did the wheels on the Infiniti with it since my GF tends to curb wheels a lot. Easy to remove, easy to touchup, and cheap. I did all four wheels with a $7 can from Home Depot.

Good to know. I love the idea of it protecting AND being removable if you change your mind. Toying with a few ideas for it currently

I haven't changed the rear springs yet. I need to as they are visibly beat. Went to Bay of LA with friends to deliver supplies to those affected by the hurricane a few weeks ago and had no problem keeping up with a couple of built Raptors and Carli Dodge.

I was pretty sure I saw your truck near Vidal junction headed north on Sunday, I was headed home from Laughlin from a wedding. Missed the race unfortunately but Laughlin was fun.

If it wasn't you the truck looked pretty similar.

I was here in Bullhead on Sunday working. I went to Parker on Friday but went through Havasu going back and forth.

Again Philo... You're doing it wrong..

Talent was running low

[philofab]

Truck was almost 11,000 pounds with all the talent that was in it.

[hobbyturnedobsession]

It was overflowing with talent. That's what happened. Those toyos love digging in.

[philofab]

Toyos never had a chance. Front axle was like a plow, and I hit that silt bed at about 35 mph. The axles were sitting on the center rut/silt with 2-3 inches of air under all four tires.

I thought about trying to ride the rails but the chances of a wheel catching a rut and throwing the truck sideways, possibly flipping the truck weren't worth it.

Shit that's tough to pull out someone that stuck. Even more so with a diesel. How far before you got stuck?

[tcm glx]

How'd you get through after all?

[Rmc]

Crazy! Someone posted a vid on Instagram, I saw the bronco pulling you out.glad you got it unstuck.

We could have dug out if we had to. We only made it about 15 feet into the ruts, we stopped like we hit a brick wall. Surprising since I was on the gas in 4wd. First time I have been stuck like that since everything else I have ever driven was A-Arm or TTB and had better center clearance.

The truck came out way easier than I expected. After we were unstuck we just drove around it on the grass. You could see another line forming before Louis even showed up.

Little update, preran Parker with the truck. Worked great other than the exhaust fell off and I grated the course with my front diff. Repairs in progress.
