R.I.P.
The
Juggernaut 2 truck was traded off in late 2001 without having
seen any action. The TXT-1 was based on the same transmission,
but was far superior to the Juggernaut 2 in all categories,
so it was just logical to let her go when I built my TXT-1
and was offered an Emaxx for the Jugg2. I do believe I've
found her a good home, where she'll see plenty of action with
her new owner, James.
Here
on SYSTEM BLOODCLOD, she shall be remembered fondly.

Project
Brief
This project
is named TITAN because it is a very impressive truck - even stock!
With it's aluminium chassis, centralized gearbox, and cool imex-style
tires, this rig scores high in the looks department. I knew this
truck would definitely be built primarily for show.
I didn't like
the leaf spring setup of the stock suspension because they limited
travel. So I removed the links, designed and made a custom setup
of my own with oil shocks. I also upgraded the truck with a bunch
of GPM blue-anodized, machined aluminium parts. Its topped it off
with a Pro-Line F-150 Street Truck body with a custom paint job.
