Cheap Truck Challenge! $2500 rigs at The Hammers! New Rules!

This is the 3rd annual "Clawhammer Challenge". aka Cheap truck challenge format, 6 rigs, $2500 spending limit, one off-road trail, see who makes it! Seeing as how "Ford" has been my entry theme (1st year was a Courier, 2nd year a F-350) it only seems fitting I stick with it! The surprise this year? 7.3 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel! Picked up a t-boned 1996 F-250 4x4 for cheap and proceeded to chop it up and bolt on used 40" tires. The cheap truck competition vehicles consisted of an 85 F-350, 2 1989 Jeep Cherokees, a '78 K5 Blazer, and a S-10 Blazer 4x4. 3 of the 6 cheap rigs broke, a new king was crowned, and there was a new twist no one was ready for!

Love these trucks! I missed the mark making it so short/stiff, but the 7.3/5 speed is awesome on the trail

That shortened 96 power stroke, would be cool to extend the cab to the back of the frame, and make like a super duty bronco.

@Chasing518 4 ай бұрын

I’ve had all kinds of wild thoughts like cutting off the back and grafting a bronco onto it. In the end, the frame is pretty bent and the cab is way trashed too.

It is a pretty good time! The time trial format is new and was well liked. Next year the “claimer” rule is coming back too.

@Solvefunction 3 ай бұрын

@@Chasing518 what is the claimer rule?

@Chasing518 3 ай бұрын

That any other competitor can buy your vehicle after the event for $3k, which helps keeps entries “in check” and prevents it from being used next year because it cost too much.

It’s a cool truck. He thought about selling it, but ultimately decided to keep it and make it better.

@@Chasing518 For sure. How can you not have fun with a 3/4 ton chassis and a big block gasser? I’d get a front locker and steel flatbed. Headers, throttle body, injection, cold air, pulleys. It’s a bolt on monster. Good find, most of those are gone.

I only documented the build on my IG stories, but I’ll probably do a walk-around video of Sideswipe

@Chasing518 4 ай бұрын

My build videos of the Whiskey Runner didn’t get many views, so I skipped it this time. I can do a walk-around video and explain what I did if the viewers want

@@Chasing518 no it's all good I understand if you didn't get views that's fine I like the build process I think that that stuff is cool but if other people don't then don't waste your time

Good gah these kids couldn’t take the initiative to weld their diffs at least OR AIR DOWN PROPERLY? Amateur hour. Probably the best mods that could have helped them with these cheap old rigs.

@dieselboy740 4 ай бұрын

My truck was at 12psi…. Didn’t want to weld the front differential and explode a front axle. The stock stub axles are weak. If it wasn’t raining it wouldn’t have been as bad. The rear diff is locked.

@KyleC2OO7 4 ай бұрын

Ya the Fords did good for being so budget. Sometimes gotta risk it for the biscuit though, welding diffs can take you far.. or sometimes break an axle.

@Chasing518 4 ай бұрын

Aired up and open front I still broke an axle. Ever think we had a method to our build strategy? Trying to keep stock parts alive for the whole trail ain’t easy.
