Welcome to my web page. On this page, i will talk about the 2003 real truck challenge that was held in west virgina .

This was some of the rigs that I saw and had the chance to ride in at the 2003 real truck challenge that took place in West Virginia. This was one of the best weekends that I have ever went to. There are many challenges that your rig has to face during this 3 day event and it is a miracle if you make it through the whole weekend without breaking something.The first rig is driven by my uncle. This is a 86 1/2ton Chevy that has been modified. it has 38" super swamper bogger tires and is supported by a 8" skyjacker suspension. This rig has a massive 502 cubic inch Chevy big block and a custom built 4 speed transmission along with custom differentials. We broke 1 tie rod end and bent a tie rod on day 2.

The other 3 rigs were built and driven by local guys from the area that this event took place in. These rigs are CJ5 and CJ7 jeeps that have been modified to handle out anything. These rigs made it through the whole event without any major damage or breaking any major parts.
