Bob & Marilyn Chandler's BIGFOOT #4, built in the summer of 1984, debuted at the New Orleans Superdome in 1985. It was the first monster truck to use planetary axles and the first to perform a wheel-standing sled pull. #4 was featured in a series of Ford Trucks TV commercials in 1985. Converted to a race truck in 1988, it finished second on the TNT Motor Sports racing circuit that same year, and was the 1990 champion of the Special Events Monster Truck Triple Crown Series.
