Talking Dodge T-Rex 6x6 is still alive

After the Prototype Dodge T-Rex in 1997, the project was cancelled by the Germans. We wanted one bad, and we begun building one. Word got out and I talked to some Dodge Engineers at the time. We then got sponsored by dodge, KC, Detroit lockers, Lynex, Rocklogic, and Interco Tires. We have been competing with this truck for 9 years now and it still just keeps on going. The T-Rex is all stock except for the exo-cage, bumpers, axles, and suspension mounts. It has the V10 and 140K miles on it, and those miles have been the most brutal miles on the planet. The truck has been up to the windows in water 7 or eight times, on its side, over 57 degree climbs...etc... It is a testiment on how tought these trucks are. After all this abuse, the only thing that we have broken has been several rims(Hummer Beadlocks), and a drive shaft. Watch these videos to see this truck in action (abuse). YOu gotta love these Trucks.

Out of the 34 Mopars that I have owned (5 68 Chargers, 1 72 Challenger, 5 Ramchargers, 5 Rams, Daytona, Duster, 2 Power Wagons, M-37, ...yadda yadda..) I have never owned a vehicle that is limelight green, panther pink, or Plum Crazy. Limelight is my favorite so I painted it that color. Actually Dodge paid for the paintjob....I love it, It hides all the tons of stratches..
