Mag and Update
Thanks guys. I got told it was out on Saterday night by a friend after I had already checked another grocery store. Sunday morning I had 3 copies and had read the article about my own truck 5 times.
I tried to give them a cover shot but it was to late, the artwork was done for the mag. For reference my sliders are 2' off the ground, at one point the whole drivers front tire got swallowed in a hole. Mojave river Feb 2011
The magazine was part of the reason I stopped posting what happened on the trip, as their was a possibility that it could get in to 3 magazines just based on going to the King of the Hammers race. I knew the truck could turn heads but never did I think it would get the attention that it got.
Updates
Since the truck limped back in to the driveway in March (no exhaust or rear brakes for 700 miles), it has not left the driveway
. I got the chance to fix a couple things before having back surgery and I have not been able to wrench on anything since. I have been able to get a hold of the parts need to fix and beef up the last remaining items and started collecting items and drawing up sketches for what I want to improve including building the camper. As of a couple of weeks ago I was able to sit in the truck for 20 min and push the clutch 10 times and that's a big step forward. As soon as I can bend better and spin wrenches I can get it back on the road and in to nature were it belongs.
I will try and finish this thread with the trip report as soon as I can.
