Help name my mud truck


Just got back from the weekend of fun. I'll post pics when I get a chance.
Called it donkey, put vinyl silhouettes of shrek's donkey on the doors....wife took one look and called it stumpy. Then, the first time in the mud it was called swamp donkey...so now they're calling it stumpy swamp donkey.
Good news is, as soon as I pulled it out of the toy hauler, cousin said the tires are too small, go find some tires in the pile. I found some 34" super swampers but they wouldn't hold air. He said throw on the 35's then. I did, I liked it and when I left he said I could have them!

Gotta go, more tomorrow.
 
Ok...some pictures.

Hmmm these 34's would look good on there....but they wont hold air...

Well, if I'm going to stick on 35's, then my other buddy is going to stick on 36's and hack the fenders for clearance too! Drove to the powerline without incident (in the rain and 6 deg weather July 1st!!!)

Everyone started showing up.

Another cousin is building a sport trac with one ton frame and 44" boggers. Yeah...don't look at what TYPE of one ton....just happen to have a chebby laying there rotted out and decided to rebody it. With the reliability of a chebby though, I'll expect a BBF in it by the time I get back.
