Brutus' history:
2000: With Jim's help, Chris completed Brutus and started competing along side Jim all over the country. Brutus was an orange S-10 with a Greek warrior on the hood.
2004: Chris was ready for a change. Fans would always tell him "I have a dog named Brutus" so he had an artist(Jason Becker) do some sketches and mold a cab of his S-10 pick up into a 3-D dog head. The fans response was incredible.
2005: Brutus would qualify for World Finals. He also participated in 2006 and 2007
Brutus is seen weekly on Speed Channel's Monster Jam and has been featured on the behind the scene show Inside Monster Jam also on Speed. Espn also has coverage of the 4 Wheel Jamborees. Spike TV's 4x4 Xtreme, and National Geographics
