Looks like you have got a fun little ride there QIKLUV. Cool vid looks like it might have been a little rough of a landing. What went wrong with your old wheelie bars? Break or just not strong enough and bent?

the truck hit the wheelie bars harder than normal...and the rear roll pan touched the upper bars (mild steel tubing very thin from jegs)..basically giving the bars a folding point. bought some 1" sch40 and lowered the bars 1". now it works fine somewhat. i think i will install the wheelie bar spring loaders that Jerry Bickel sells. hopfully that will cushion the hit on the bars.

that first truck is here in Albuquerque. I think the guy that owns it is the son of the guy who own the dragstrip. He hauls it around in a HUGE trailer and rv i would expect a pro top fueler to have.
