    Many of you know how bad the trucks come out of Trick My Truck with the exception of a few. One keeps catching my eye; Chill Factor. How can that guy survive in a 36in sleeper after hes used to sleeping in a 63? Has Chill Factor been sold yet? Also, where are the others?

    I agree with you, pulling the 63 and putting on the 36 was a bonehead move. I personally thought that truck was pretty cool, except those skis on the fenders... :biggrin_25526: I'm sure that snow machine thing gets used alot :biggrin_25512:

    I saw one of the TMT trucks, I think it was called Jailbreak - a KW, on Ebay a few months ago, didn't make reserve.

    I saw the one they called "Phoenix Rising" on Craigslist last year.And the "Lowrider" the guy parked it and bought a another one to drive I guess he didnt want to scratch the paint job which probably cost more than the whole truck.

    chill factor was an abomination! they should be hung by there nads for defacing a classic like that.

    a 36 isn't bad if you work mainly local ith the occasional night out and you don't carry much. the 42" give a little more room but I still wouldn't want one for running otr and I do know some people who run them.
    Pheonix rising has been sold a few times I think. at least it's been on truckpaper and ebay a whole lot. I heard something about them moving out of the country. Tha jailhouse one was on truck paper not too long ago. the owner of that used to post here but havn't seen him in a bit.
    The guy with the cabover international is on one of the other site I go to. he's a good guy, still has it and hasn't changed it but last I heard he was trying to sell the super singles and put the tall rubber back on it, he's in MS.

    I don't know much about what the Chrome Shop Mafia puts out, other than what I saw on TMT, but it looks pretty cool, mostly. Some of the interiors are - bizarre and not at all user friendly.

    There is a cool digital magazine that is all about custom rigs, it is associated with the largest truckers magazine, I can't say the name here... but if you find it, hint - its full of custom rigs :biggrin_25525: They cover the big shows and feature the top custom rigs and builders. I enjoy it and the rigs a lot, but most look 90% impractical to run over the road. I guess most of 'em are rich guy's toys and not meant to work any more.

    Oh yeah, I thought that one with the wagon wheels on the side was the #1 most ugly truck they built. :biggrin_2555:

    No they built one that was like an old stagecoach. It had the wagon wheels on the side and yes it made it look stupid!
