I need to know...

[Jeep]

I found a random pic of a truck and would like to know more about it. I'm building pretty much the same thing. Any ideas who this is?

I've seen a few references to that rig in the Wothahellizat Chronicles on Rob Gray's site.

It's called Slineaway

Holy departure angles, Batman!!! :Wow1:

I've had the pleasure to be in correspondence with Peter and Marie. Very nice people.
The truck was originally set up for a mining company and other then the International Cab, is identical to Casa for motor and drive-line. Or was...Peter put in the turbo-charged version of the same motor, and I swapped to Cummins / Allison (thank god!).

I've decked more than a few 8.2 Detroit blocks! Looks like nobody is happy with factory power, I went Cummins/Fuller FSO/Rockwell. There are some real simiarities in what I'm doing and what that truck is, I don't think I'll need the wild departure angle but can see the intent. I have mine pretty much figured out but I'm curious on the construction, mounting, benefits, and shortfalls that only the owner could tell.
Thanks guys,
Mark.

I'll send Peter an Email and ask him the post up a thread about the truck.

Thanks Jack. Much apreciated.

Thanks for the link Lynn, that's the rig. Good read about Robs transformation on there too.
