808DA6 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 New TV service, new channels. I'm reconnecting w/ my childhood obsession with these vehicular monstrocities. Today, I'm a little nostalgic. Do you remember: 1. when Grave Digger was a Ford? 2. when trucks. like the Krimson Krusher, ran those tall tractor wheels and "low profile" tires. 3. when they actually CRUSHED cars. 4. when they still used leaf springs. 5. that crazy looking, narrow bodied Predator truck. 6. when trucks didn't recover from roll-overs Ahhhhh, memories. -Brian Quote Link to comment

Beau M Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) I used to have this Bigfoot VHS tape I would watch over and over. Made in the late 80's. I found some clips from it, this is what I thought was cool: The hill climb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAe9mS2l-vY Could you imagine one of those new prissy tube buggy things doing this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Dlu0piz58&feature=related Or this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBIbEMXaDBk Edited April 29, 2009 by Beau M Quote Link to comment
