This truck became Arrive Alive. Arrive Alive made its first appearance in May 2004, at Singapore’s annual Police Week carnival. The monster truck was the main highlight of the two day long event, which was held at Singapore’s Police Academy as part of their national road safety campaign.

Driven by Billy Luther, this was the first appearance of this truck outside the US, after being purchased from Calvin Carrington as the Texas Rattlesnake 3:16. Subsequently, this would be Arrive Alive’s first and last appearance in this configuration, as soon after the truck was shipped to Australia and underwent its transformation into Bear Foot USA.
