Do you think he scrapped the stock wheels?

And the draw bar that translates braking force into tongue weight. How does the DOT even approve such a thing?

W hat the heck is with the giganto chrome exhaust tip? You could loose a small child up that...

Honestly, it would function (very briefly, probably) as a crappy M ansfield b ar, so I’ll take it I guess (until he hits a bunch of people with it while parking).

Vehicles with large lifts should need to have lights/bumpers at normal heights. If that bothers owners, modifiers can figure out a clever system of removable/stowable parts to preserve approach/departure angles and ground clearance, or they can move these things by flatbed when not off-road.

I hate this trend. The F&F ricers were better than these diesel ricers bros

The fucking $400-$500 diff cover is what drives me insane.

expected fender flares and more light bars... at least the body of the truck seems mostly stock

The entire vehicle is a monument to stupidity. And what, $100k?

There’s a retractable ladder so you can bark and disembark.

We watched “Office Space” last night which started out as a nice, cute movie and went off the rails into nasty and tasteless, but the computer equipment is all Nibby.

I just checked and it’s about $68k for that truck. Surprisingly he didn’t check all the option boxes like chrome tailgate handle and body color side molding. But I’d guess those wheels are $2000-$3000 and those tires are probably another $1500(I hope that’s the top end at least) and the diff cover at $400. Then who knows how much for the lift. I’d ball park another $1000 to $1500 with a paid install. So around $75k or so. I’ll still qualify it as a monument to stupidity at that price tag.

You’re assuming that it’s approved.  Ugh, just noticed that this is in CA too

No, but I’ve added some flair. That was the thing that bothered me the most, how they felt the need to trash the girl. Unnecessary.

He may have bought the truck used than added on all the stupidity. On a wet highway, that thing would be all over the place.
