If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
Half-Way-There? It's kinda missing half of the body so... Not to mention unless you throw a real set of mud tires on it you may only get "Half-Way-There" while mudding. (going by the pictures of course)



EDIT: Dude!! Did you cut the rear of that frame? (y) Seems a bit short after the shackle brackets.

Thanks for all the ideas guys. Gumbo.....that's interesting.....hmmm

Yes I chopped it right after the shackles, I'm debating putting coils under the back and chopping the frame a couple inches behind the axle.

Oh, I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada. Not too much mud here, but my relatives are in New Brunswick and there is LOTS there!

One of the guys at the shop said "hey, it's short bob" which was funny but already used by frieburger on roadkill.
Just thought of something, brb.

No one mentioned Betty or Bessie? that seems to be what everyone else names their trucks haha. Since you have been hacking away at it like it owes you money I would call it "Chop shop"

Bubbles, lol, its way over done here. Mikes bar is about 45 minutes away and not that he'd ever see the truck but it would be awkward.

I put a saying across the back bar in yellow "help me, help me, I'm sinking in the quickmud" as a reference to a running joke we had while I was with the Dragoons (armoured corps) A buddy of mine said it in clear over the radio one day on exercise and while funny as hell caused a lot of shit. Since I was driving the ARV (Armoured Recovery Vehicle) sometimes instead of getting a call from the Sgt Maj to 88D (my call sign) for recovery, I'd get a call directly from the drivers. "88 Delta, hep me hep me, I'm sinkin in da quickmud"
So, years go by, I'd see a buddy and we'd remember that and laugh, the wife got tired of hearing it. Well I thought I'd look up who actually said it and name the truck that. I knew it was a cartoon character, wasn't positive who. Just looked it up and it was deputy dog.....and I aint naming it deputy dog.....poo...

So, I had a 91 full size bronco with 44's, exoskeleton etc and the kids called it snoopy. I got a decal of snoopy doing the happy dance and tothis day the kids say "remember the snoopy truck"? So thinking along the lines of cartoon characters and stuff I thought of a couple different ones. Someone mentioned el burro (although I don't see it in the thread now???) anyway..little donkey...donkey...cartoon donkey...shrek...
So, I've got the decal for the windshield done and the guy is working on vinyl sillouettes of the donkey from shrek.
Since the truck is black, the vinyl is yellow. As soon as I leave the shop I'm heading home to finish packing and if I get time I'll take pictures of "Donkey" (DONKAY in my best Scottish voice LOL)

Worst case scenario, I'll get some pictures of it in the mud with the vinyl on it...no doubt I'll be yelling "grab the rope and pull me donkey out of the mud"!



C'mon donkey........

Just the right size to touch the ground.
"Money Pit" or maybe "Short Bus"

Better yet "Short Bus Money Pit"
