This truck was built for the 2008 SEMA show in Las Vegas to demonstrate what the Bigfoot team were capable of building. 

It had been booked for a photo shoot which involved jumping the truck but the team hadn't finished making the shock mounts. AJ Straatman said on Facebook "we were under a strict deadline to finish and we did not have time to build double sheer mount before sema. Then the truck was scheduled to do the photo shoot before we could build the mounts . In true Bigfoot fashion we went for it anyways and it bit us." They did the photo shoot anyway and on landing, the shock bolts broke and the suspension collapsed. It was quickly repaired before SEMA and was still displayed at the show. After the show, it was sold at auction.
