the trails!! |

Feb 2004 Here are some updated pictures of the T-Rex. It is now running 42 inch Swampers, on beadlock rims, and has some added roll bars, skid plates and new rear springs. One picture shows my wife with the T-Rex running 40 inch Michelins and two others are of the T-Rex playing in a recent snow storm in the Jemez mountains.( Swampers). The photo on the right was taken just before the TTC. |

| Yes this V10 in this truck can chirp the four rear drive wheels on pavement!!!
Way cool!!! Articulation is out of this world. It will be a great Top Truck Challenge Truck (Stan competed in the 2004 TTC, see some of the photos on the Four Wheeler TTC pages). Look for the USA at off-road rallys throughout the US. The official usa6x6.com site will have appearance details. So what's next? Look here: USA 10X10 Tow-Rex! |

A while ago I received emails from Stan and Daniel who, after seeing the T-Rex concept Ram, were considering a construction project to build a 6X6 Ram. They promised to keep me updated with their progress. In May 2001, I began receiving project photos. Here they are! The cost of this project is expected to be only $12,000. It will be sporting three axles, exterior roll cage, custom bumpers front and back, hyd. winch, and a whole lot more. The axles are 2.5 ton Rockwell military versions, which make the OEM Dana 60 and Dana 70 axles look down right puny. Stan writes: "I plan to do alot of safaris with this truck. I want to go up to the artic and Alaska, and also do a lot of off roading around here locally at Farmingtom, Moab, Teluride, and maybe a trip out to Glamis. This truck has been a dream of mine ever since I saw the first T-Rex unveiled in 1997. As soon as DC scrapped the project I began designing my own. It is great to see a 2 year project finally come to fruition." See the December 2002 issue of FourWheeler for an article about the T-Rex. |
