Sema Duramax OOPS
 

They jumped the Sema Duramax and had problems on the landing:ouch:.

That would suck.

I wonder what the price tag on that oops was.:scare2:

yep yep i would say its time to take it back to the drawing board:humm:

Did that really seem like a good idea to them?

Wow what a pos. Definetly wouldnt use that fab shop again. :td: Just proof that chrome dont get ya home. lol

Considering it was on one side i wonder if one person that did that side is feeling pretty bad. Looks as if the lower shock mounts broke.

considering the truck was built by bigfoot inc, it probly didnt matter to him.lol look at how often monster trucks get crunched.

Wow. Better luck next time. Comon man!

doesnt look like the mounts are on the end of the shocks maybe the bolts broke??

:spit::ha:

i wonder if the coil spring mount broke or over extended itself and popped out before it recompressed

bolt's from china:s:

The bad part is: all of the mounts are probably in need of being re-built and welded, most likely the ones still intact are now bent.

Haha! Thats funny!

You could very well be right actually.

I haven't looked at the design of the brackes on the axle, but it looks like they had both shocks mounted to the axle with one tab and one bolt, which is single shear situation with loads on opposing sides, and when you have over 1000 lbs worth of engine, single shear on a 5/8" bolt generally isn't going to work so well. Just my two cents...:w2:

lol i had an 83 k-5 blazer that i jumped on stock suspension 3 times and never broke. goes to show that money dont fix everything

lol its all good from the looks of it have lots of money to waste any ways

HOLY CRAP that 1 foot of air was sick!!! .... SIKE!!!!!:nope:

last time i use a harbor freight lift kit!

That was pretty sad considering the article Four Wheeler wrote on that Truck said its estimated value was 300K

300k according to who? I wouldn't give you more than $100 for that POS. What a waste.

2008 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD - Four Wheeler Magazine

Probably according to the guy who owns the truck. Biggest part of that would be labor.

Something seems strangely familiar about that video....:humm:

Ouch:ouch:

been cooler if it hit a bigger jump

Bolt holding the pressure from both of those! Looks like someone forgot the grade 8 bolts. Kinda crappy design on that bottom mount.

That is out of the Bigfoot Camp.

Typical Show truck. Effectively useless. Built light and barely highway worthy let alone anything else. Also why if your looking most of the show trucks don't have working 4X4 systems Drive angles are to harsh. Cool to see someone actually wreck one in such A weak fashion though. :c:

Rhino.

lol

Must be nice to have money like that. But even as a "show truck" that's still a little ridiculous. Just my opinion :pca1:

that was expensive

Yeah no wonder it broke, one bolt and a puney bracket to hold a truck of that size, you think they would have been smart enough to have the bracket encase the eyes's of the shocks so it could do that, thats what you get when a pencil pusher designs a truck on a computer and not enough testing prior to spending 300K to build a trailer queen!!!

hahaha, that was a big jump though. He probably coulda cleared a 2x4 lol

That's just plain ol' bad engineering. That's a really simple design problem that somebody dropped the ball on. Too bad, had that truck been fully functional it would've been a pretty cool build.

does that truck look a little lopsided after the jump, or is it just me?:w2:
