We ran across Nick Sanford’s wild ride while we were down covering the High Lifter Mud Nationals last weekend in Texas. I was drawn to Nick’s machine because of the wild paint and graphic scheme and tough looking stance his rig has. Nick told me how his machine was transformed from a stock machine into this awesome head turning one of a kind machine in only 8 days. Wow, what a transformation!
