So lets see your tuggers. Dedicated or not, lets see what your running, and how well it works, for those of us who wanna try this, but don't know where to start.

Yeah I meant tug of war trucks. And I can't believe how often that video pops up, I'm the one that put that up a couple of years back. I love trucks gone wild :lolly: Any tips from anyone on building a Duramax into a tugger for the 6500 lb class

I knew that was coming :nail: They make these things live for sled pulling, there has to be a way to make that IFS survive this also. Centerlink, sleevs, braces. The axles are pretty stout.

might be for sale

[injected79]

well this past saturday there was an 08 2500 or 3500 chevy in the 7500 pound class, barely turned the front tires over and broke the differential into pieces....its back at the dealer as we speak. believe it or not iv seen more of the ifs front end breakage doing the tug a truck than pulling the sled. There is also a black dmax that hooks 9500 class i dont think iv ever seen him make it through an entire pull with out breaking. And its sleeved, with the big tie rods and center link

[JERONIMO]

Shoot! I may like this better than sled pulling! Looks like a blast!

[Sonic_Superduty]

JERONIMO it pays the monney

[JERONIMO]

what axles are you running on your 79? i've got an old ford with a welded 9" & a hp d44 but wasn't thinking they would hold up very long, i'm guessing your running d60's?

Video of sled pulls with the Wagon, took first in street stock. Was the first time this truck went down the track. it does my tug-a-truck but with Nitto Muds

well in that video i was running 60 rear 44 front, but in the next round i twisted the short side axle shaft into 2 pieces, so i built a coil sprung king pin dana 60 for it. then just last week at preble county i twisted a rear dana 60 chrome moly in two

[Phooker]

are ya'll that um...special... that you use paper plates with your number on em? Ever heard of window chalk? Looks a lot more legit...lol

[injected79]

well when your running three different classes with the same truck sometimes its easier to get a different plate with each number and under the number have the weight class so when your lining trucks up you just dont have 3 numbers on your truck for the people getting trucks paired up. If that makes any since :Cheer:

And yes, we "special" people also use window chalk sometimes when we feel like going high class:stab:

oh ok. I was watching at preble county last week, i got there a lil late so i must have missed you pull. I've got a dana 80 for the rear i can get, i'll probly just find a 60 for the front then. Thanks for the info :Cheer:

[rattlindodge]

[Shawdrainage]

AHHHH..... Some more bashing of tug-a-truck.... A pulling team around here has a good name "BRING IT!" Maybe you should?

[Kraiger]
