Grave Digger #1 by The Monster Truck Freak

Enough said... The only differences i see are tire and axle swap

The Iron Outlaw truck was marked before you posted. But with over 5000 trucks for download, I need to have more than guesswork. I checked the Digger 1's but didn't see it. Whodda thunk it was Digger 2. Thanks runt. Anyway, the trucks are now gone. Once I'm confident he's seen the warnings, I'll remove these two from the page listing.

There's no Readme files with the trucks either.

See above.

I've just looked at the two Grave Diggers in game, the only differences are the wheels, suspension and axles.
He's just taken the wheels, axles and suspension from DiggerFans Grave Digger #1 and stuck it onto RDT Daves Grave Digger 2.

No problem. i had seen Dave's truck numerous times, so as soon as i saw the plagerized version, i immediately realized it and figured i'd help you out there.

no need to ban anyone. it could have been an honest mistake by someone who isn't aware of the fine print and just wanted to post something he 'kind of' made.

You know, I always wondered how this happened... now I know, thanks.

Snowball effect...

Once it happens, it always happens...

It's like the old west here, or anywhere, smash & grab.
