Just eight inches of rear overhang had to be removed, but the width was spot on. ICON cleaned up the body panels, and recut the front wheel openings to better match the ones in the rear, not to mention clear the new 37-inch tires mounted on beadlock wheels.A 4.5-inch Chase lift kit fitted with nitrogen-filled Fox reservoir shocks was also added, but the engine saw some of the most extreme modifications. Ward sent the truck to Banks Power for a full overhaul of its 5.9-liter inline-six-cylinder Cummins turbodiesel powertrain. The net result of a new intake manifold, intercooler, exhaust, electronics and methanol injection is a whopping 500 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque.First gear in the six-speed manual transmission is marked L because with that much torque on tap you rarely need to use it. Second, or even third gear starts are a breeze for the unladen vehicle, which should have no trouble traversing the wide open spaces of The Cowboy State.The enormous truck steps off nicely from a dead stop, b cloud. The plant also had an unspecified amount of ammonium nitrate, a chemical that has been used in explosives, like in the Oklahoma City bombing.A spokeswoman for the Texas State Fire Marshal's office, which is investigating the explosion, said the anhydrous ammonia tanks stored at West Fertilizer at the time of the blast appeared to have no scorch marks or any sign that they were part of a blast that left a crater more than 90 feet wide.Officials have not ruled out the role of an intruder or other criminal activity being involved. Ten first responders and two people volunteering to help fight the initial fire died in the explosion.Matt Cawthon, the chief deputy sheriff in McLennan County, said in an interview Friday that anhydrous ammonia theft calls had declined in recent years, as had the number of meth labs authorities have busted as Mexican drug cartels are smuggling in more of the drug."The thefts ... and the reports for law enforcement assistance in that area, in my estimation, were minor and were petty," Cawthon said.There were no reports that ammonium nitrate had been stolen from the plant, Cawthon said."If ammonium nitrate had been stolen .. then that report would have generated probably a lot of attention," he said.Federal regulation of ammonium nitrate is largely focused on the safe storage of the chemical, for fear it will fall into the hands of criminals or terrorists.

Whereas the law that Obama pushed and Congress passed is known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, South Carolina's law would be known as the Freedom of Health Care Protection Act.It would prohibit state officials and employees from "enforcing or attempting to enforce such unconstitutional laws" and "establish criminal penalties and civil liability" for those who engage in activities that aid the implementation of ObamaCare.The Supreme Court ruled last year that ObamaCare's underlying provision, requiring all Americans to obtain health insurance, is constitutional, though lawsuits still are pending that argue against certain parts of that mandate -- in particular, contraceptive coverage, which some Christian employers argue violates their religious beliefs.In South Carolina, the nullification bill would allow the state attorney general to take action against anyone causing harm by the implementation of ObamaCare. It proceeds to the state Senate for committee review, according to The Washington Times.Gov. Nikki Haley has rejected the expansion of Medica that does not mean he will not pay a price for it.And Now, A Word From Charles"If it turns out there are people who were material witnesses [concerning the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya] who could have known stuff who were turned away -- rather than perhaps ignored or negligence involved -- but if there was active turning away as a way to protect the administration, then you have a scandal on your hands."-- Charles Krauthammer on "Special Report with Bret Baier."Chris Stirewalt is digital politics editor for Fox News, and his POWER PLAY column appears Monday-Friday on FoxNews.com.
