Vaters Motorsports shop dog Titan guarding the new set of 8 EcoWork tires for Black Stallion and Overkill Evolution. 

Here we go guys! A legend is recreated and is now returning in full force! Details to come!

Thanks for informing us Dennis was getting a new chassis. We would have never have known from the picture Mark posted right before you.

There's a story behind everything! 

Dennis will be getting a new chassis for this coming weekend, but not sure as to whether it's #29 or #30 he's getting, since Pablo has #28 coming up too.

oh dear god no... i hope to god that purple doesn't mean purple jumps or tarp in the stands etc. 

Well, call me the bearer of bad news...

Well, all the mutts are getting new 3D bodies this year...

Proof?

Snagged me a pair of Liquid sunglasses (Player model, orange frames and blue polarized lenses), two XDP hats (one FlexFit and the other camo netting hat), some electronic accesories, XDP sweatshirt, XDP monster truck t-shirt, Anchorman on DVD, and because of UPS running a day late, just opened up my new touch pad/draw pad with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 built into it. Pretty good bundle overall.

By the way, if you want a VERY nice pair of sunglasses, Liquid is by far the best brand of sunglasses I've ever owned. I had a pair of Oakley sunglasses, Ray Ban, and a few other top names; but I highly recommend Liquid. Plus, you get a snazzy cloth case and sticker with it too.

It's just an extra logo they use for videos, photos, advertisements, etc. The logo you'll see on the competing trucks will be just the regular Monster Jam logo.

News to me that Advance Auto Parts owned Grinder.................. haha

He's not the first one to OWN a Ford Raptor body (or part of it), he'll be the first to debut it though. Tim Bee with Killer Bee has a Raptor body too.

I honestly like it better than the one he's been running since 2010. Wonder if Raminator is getting a new paint?

Raminator will be getting an updated scheme as well. Another interesting piece of information is that Hotsy will also run as Mopar Muscle during the first quarter. Kind of a flip-flop deal

Jim's had that operation up for sale for quite some while now. I tell ya, that's a steal getting everything for only $115,000! That's honestly a perfect starting-off operation for anyone wanting to get into the industry! And heck, with a few upgrades and tune-ups, that truck can be right up there with the rest of em'! 

Decided to dabble in chassis making now. Here's two that I made over the last three days. Here's the first one being Culture Shock, my first from-scratch chassis (with the exception of the main rails being Kozak's):

Here's the second one: Shell-Camino. Did this in 3 hours last night and everything's made my your's truly with the exception of the main rail being Kozak's off of his old Shockwave chassis:

Both of these trucks will be constructed soon. Jon Cannon and Andrew Sheets will take Shell-Camino from this point, and I'll start constructing Culture Shock today. 

I'm in no way versed in MT history, but I'm wondering of that will become that new truck for Ryan Disharoon. Paint looks close enough. But, I'm probably way wrong...

If you're talking about the green chassis, it won't be. Ryan Disharoon's truck, Saigon Shaker, is a hybrid chassis. Bottom half and main rails are of a PEI 3rd Generation chassis, and the roll cage and top half are done by The Metal Shop, which is Rick Disharoon's company. Here's a picture of it:

Since the Ford trophy truck body seems to be all the craze lately for custom schemes, I decided to whip up a simple repli-custom scheme for Black Stallion. Hope you guys enjoy it!

Start laughing now. 

Johan, can you put some blender files, including that body, I have some good use for that body, and the sway bar links. If not that's fine.

Pretty much, if we can get a .blend file for every new component on that in the Scrapyard, that'd be great. 

Here are some of my latest projects that I've been messing around with lately:
 

Updating the Hall Bros. Racing team chassis for Raminator, Rammunition, and I'll be working on Hotsy as well

A shot of the bare chassis for my custom Black Stallion trophy truck; Modeled a lot of tubes, wires, and other small miscellaneous parts

Working on my first replica hand-painted truck: Maximum Overkill

I've had this body painted and textured for about 3 months now, but once my other projects listed above are done, I'll get around to throwing this on a chassis

Great font name that is.

Unfortunately...

After a few minutes of looking, here is the Maximum Overkill logo text. A tiny bit of editing needs to be done, but this is pretty much it:

I'm looking for the name of the text used for the Maximum Overkill logo shown below. If anyone knows off hand what it is, help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 

This is BJ's second time with Monster Jam. Who remembers Shattered?

Shattered was an independently owned truck. This is BJ's first time driving for Feld Motorsports.
