Im not a big fan of giant trucks but this one is sure done up nicely. Could you even drive this on the street legally?

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

All show and no go ;)

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

maybe in a state with relaxed lift laws. He shows some removeable bumpers that must be an attempt to stay legal....Doubt that would fly in most states...

As for all show and no go i'm not sure. Maybe it's top heavy but it's geared right, has a custom frame with a sturdy suspension and a decent engine. I bet you could bounce around a little.... is it pratical...hell no would it be fun? hell yes....

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

I'd put it the mud with no problem!!! Why build it and not use it!!

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

I would hate to bump one of those oil filters though!

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

I would love to see that truck in person.

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

:agree:

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

I would drive it to the mall no problem. Most states go by frame hight now not bumper hight the standered apears to be 29in from ground to frame max hight. there are 2 states cant remeber witch I think SD and WY maybe that has only one lift law must be safe working conditon no hight restrictions at all.

I think he painted it green so people would see him coming and get out of his way. It's a big one.

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Between the mega arched springs and those harder then rocks military michelins you'd better have good dental insurance if your gonna drive it.

Dana 44 with those tires?

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Been there done that!:metal:

The thing is SWEET. I saw it a couple of times out at Fireball truck night. Only difference is, it had the 49" Iroks on it when I saw it, not the 53" Mich. Actually I think it looked better with the 49" Iroks myself.

Super clean truck, which was a turnoff for me. Way too much invested for a poor schmuck like me to feel good taking it through the mud. It would be a blast, don't get me wrong. But I like my 4x's to be "broke in" so I don't get that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I crinkle a quater or rip through a real tight trail & scratch the crap out of it.

Nice truck non-the-less.:)

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Nice truck but I agree with the all show statement. At least they state that was the intention in building it. I don't doubt it's ability to cruise, but 53" tires would be the overload for even Dana 60's off road.

Don't get me wrong its a beautiful truck, but it's built to show. I can appreciate the effort, but for my own stuff I like them broken in too.

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Ok, found the pic I have of it. And just for grinz I'll post a couple of others from truck night. Not to highjack, just cause as long as I'm posting pics, might as well do it right.

Don't know if that'll work, I'll give it a go though. the last one's my beater.

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

I doubt I could reach the door handle, Even if I could I think it would be a bear to climb into.:lol:

Beautiful truck! I believe you could see Heaven from up there!

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Just to clarify that is a D60 up front.
But ya I don't think that would work for me too well...:crazy:
Current bid is 20K ...

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

That truck is definitely all show and no go. It looks like it has D60's front and rear, which is my first clue this thing might climb the curbs in the mall parking lot and that's about it. If you really wheeled that thing, or should I say ran it in mud bogs, because that's all it would be good for since it's 15 feet tall, you would need at least 2.5 ton Rockwells. At least.

I like the color though. Kawasaki green!

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

It was for sale in the pic I posted with the 49's.
If memory serves me correctly it was marked 25k on the window.:eek:

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Burt, your right they are dana 60's. I read how it started as a 3/4 ton and I didn't look close enough. my bad. I gotta say that frame is a piece of work ,I would love to have one that looks like that.

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Im suprized no hydro steering on it. I wonder how it would look with 46s on it. therre is a blazer on there now too with 49 iroks no were near as nice as this truck http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=190144708859

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

I think the axles look smaller due to the tires... I bet you could run zero psi in them... needs to remove the $10 CIPA mirrors though...

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

The truck is in St Louis? I have never seen it around here and it wasn't at Springfield earlier this year. I saw pics of it at Bloomsburg PA and I believe it was for sale there. That truck is not street legal in MO.

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Wow, that is a clean super nice, crazy tall truck

Re: HOLY CRAP - Ebay 68 K-20 w/53" tires...
 

Yep, I'm not sure if it came out of eastern Ohio or western PA, but it was for sale around here all last summer. *Not street legal in PA either.* Like I said though, it was marked 25k with the 49's, so someone must have bought it from down south wanting to turn a profit on it by putting on the 53's.?? Don't know how much more he's going to get out of it though.


Edited to add this little tid-bit from the auction:
