Do you realize something? Let me tell you! If the Hills Department of Green County sees those videos that you put on the damn internet, the could condemn our house and we would have to move out of it?

[@ChipMosesNews]

Get away from that Big Foot, I'm cutting it down!

[@tempo1889]

For some reason whenever I heard the name Bob Chandler pre internet of course I always thought of some tough long-haired greaser guy with tattoos. Then I saw a photo of Bob Chandler and i thought "wow your kidding me that guy invented Big Foot." Talk about a shock.

[@jamieround2072]

my 1 st time seeing the rig when i was a kid in the early 80's saw bob & his family all standing in the bed of the rig then i knew then he was a simple down to earth family guy who's a kid at heart & always will be !!!!!

[@alteregos8949]

Back in the day I remember seeing Bigfoot the first time they started crushing cars at tractor pulls and it was amazing. Now tractor pulls are extinct in most places and it’s Monster Jam. Thank you Bob Chandler for starting an amazing form of entertainment!

[@jamieround2072]

& not to forget all the guy's & gal's since him too & not to forget the ppl,. surrounding bob that got him intrigged in running over rides & simple show's of it sitting still & letting us all sit inside the rim's of the truck as far back as i can member.............

[@Mr.Pink33xyz]

Same here. Saw first show back in 87 and it was awesome. Took my boys to monster jam last month and it’s completely different from what it used to be. Bigfoot was my favorite and this guy is definitely a pioneer.

[@jamieround2072]

[@martinneps9387]

Do you still have your very 1st truck that you built or did you record or modify it to be the where the new trucks are please comment back

[@orangecrate5895]

Bob Chandler remembers....another industry pioneer utilizing the 5 ton Rockwells as he thought they were too large to be useful.

[@MrMisterChiliPepper88]

Proof that the 80s were best decade

[@martinneps9387]

Do you have any of the Fords like your very 1st one I'm looking for a 73 or a 74 for F250 please comment back thank you very much I follow Judah whole time of your career specially when you came up to the New Haven Coliseum whatever happened to little beer

[@assymcgee2835]

Clearly nobody heard of Arfons. He pioneered the jet engine drag cars in the 60s. I have a magazine with his jet powered Dart in it. Bob did extreme 4x4, Arfons did extreme drag cars

[@assymcgee2835]

@GEO Mason didn't know that

[@Cassuttus]

So...is this Chris-Chan's father or not?

[@Brytons_Thoughts]

No.

[@martineps6223]

Do you still have your very first truck The One That Got You Started

[@Rangerman69420]

Yes he still has number 1 and believe it or not if you look on Bigfoot 4×4 .com you will see that Bigfoot 1 is actually scheduled to do do a car crush at a airforce base next weekend.

[@tempo1889]

I believe Bigfoot number one is actually at the Smithsonian.
