Re: Monster truck (like Frankenstien)
Maybe if you lose the cage....the football arena lights....the snorkel....the gauges....Maybe, just maybe...you'd have something to work with....

Re: Monster truck (like Frankenstien)
Overkill...More money than sense. Not much different than any other over the top trailer show queen anyway. Just a different theme.
My personal favorite touch is the "roll cage" with what looks to be only 3 roof bars, none of which are triangulated to each other in any way. But they did put that nice gusset in at the b-pillar hoop to make it nice and easy to whack your head on when getting in and out and bouncing while driving on and off the trailer. Oh and the sholder straps being mounted to the roof bar are a nice touch too. Typical, more shocks the better show truck approch has been taken also. Some people have money to burn and build all show no go type trucks/cars and others build them to run them. I can appreciate the craftsmanship but can't get over the true poser-ness of the cage and bundle of shocks suspension.

Re: Monster truck (like Frankenstien)
I would say that it would be fun to beat on that thing in the mud, but it probably doesn't even have a front driveline. Or the stock front-end with 3.73 gears wouldn't get very far before major breakage.
