another 53" tire truck...2WD! lol

Isn't it a shame that some people waste a good truck...

Not the worst that i've seen but he can't hook up the front driveshaft? and it's pushed by a stock 5.3L! The inside is uglier than the outside...

Not a big fan of all-show no-go trucks. I prefer trucks that are functional and practical to use everyday but that's me to each their own.

I would say that this truck sums that up.... I don't think the three link in the rear looks very durable, not with those big'o tires hanging out there....

Re: another 53" tire truck...2WD! lol

with the control arm mounts that low he needs to clock the transfer case like the monster trucks do and then the driveshaft angle wouldnt be so steep.. would be even better if it had 2.5ton axles...

Looks to me like the upper halves of the coil overs are there for looks, but are held from moving.
