Good for running over kids. I love my relatively tiney, low off the ground car. This thing doesn't need to be so high at all, it's just made to look like an SUV. But it turns into a SUCC

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I dunno, I feel like between the shortened body and larger wheels, the height is a bit of an illusion. Just eyeballing it, I don't think this thing is very tall, perhaps just slightly taller than stock. My point being, this thing probably sits lower than most modern crossovers. Here's a stock taco for reference, notice that there's not so much lift to fit the oversized wheels as much as they just enlarged and deapened the wheelwells:

Gotta admit, though, it looks like some nice bodywork. ATBGE

I want to pull it backwards until it disappears

I mean this is basically the chode of vehicles. It's the accurate representation of what those lifted hibeam smokestack truck owners are actually like lol

Edit: Those mfers are Tonka tough. Still going through life with the mind of a toddler.

Nah this thing has purpose, unlike most ridculous obnoxious lifted trucks that are poor for both offroading and towing. This would almost definitely perform extremely well offroad and likely was made just to be an offroader. It might not be your hobby or taste, and that's fine, but someone has created a really cool and special vehicle here

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep - pulled up next to a Small-Penis-Mobile the other day, new Ford extra cab, super duty diesel, with that stupid Roosh package no less, so we know he paid a LOT extra. And it was black, shiny and clean, even the tires. Fucking garage queen for a twat.

Lifted, stupid tires, some stupid gizmo in the receiver.

I bet I've towed more with my 20-year-old "toy truck" than that douchebag ever will. Oh, and he was on speakerphone holding the phone up with his right hand, going 5mph under the limit, holding up traffic.

I probably get better fuel economy with 250k on the odometer, and I don't spew out the crap he does.

Asshat.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

and i bet they go WEEEEEEE whenever they drive it

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Eh it doesn't look like a purpose-built offroader to me. I mean you could do a lot worse offroad than with this thing, but there's a few reasons that make it pretty obvious that this was just made for the fun aesthetic: 1 It doesn't have very much room for suspension to travel at all, compromising high-speed desert and dune riding. 2. Due to reason 1, it's articulation is likely very poor, compromising it's technical trail riding abilities. Maybe it could hold it's own when mudding? But then again, those aren't quite the best wheels and tires for the job and I see no snorkel either, so I doubt that it does. So yeah I'm almost certain that they chopped it up not with the intention to make a solid off-road vehicle but because "lol wouldn't it be hilarious?" Don't look for logic in or underestimate the enginuity of a bored, slightly buzzed dude with a welder.

This looks like the truck equivalent of a really short guy with huge muscles and a perpetual scowl, who always keeps his shoulders directly above his knees and his hands in karate-chop pose while he walks.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

You know, it absolutely does. It does look like him..

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Steal a manhole cover, paint it to look like a penny.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just realized that I had to think for a while about what a penny looks like. God we banned them here in Canada so long ago...

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And I'm so happy we got rid of them.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You sound like someone who hasn't seen the glorious ATF violation know as penny coin shot.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Two patents exist for quarter-shooting pistols designed for shooting coins at toll booth baskets from 1965 and 1988. Source: wikipedia.

This is the world AnCap libertarians want.

Oh no I was referring to cutting pennies into halves and quarters, then putting them into 12 gauge shells.

[–] mattbnr@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

I don’t hate it….in fact I kinda like it

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is unironically awesome. Needs a bigger lift to give room for suspension travel though

[–] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

That thing has to turn weirdly.

[–] logos@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Looks like if you accelerate too quickly it will do a backflip.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Probably turns on a dime and crawl and fit around hazards offroad like a champ

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 year ago

As in quickly, and with style?

I can only imagine the complaining of those tires as you try to turn. And heaven help you if you installed some kind of limited-slip differential.

A monster truck the size of a minivan

World's biggest RC car.

Truck equivalents of the Airbus A318 babybus aren't real, they can't hurt you

Truck equivalent of the Airbus A318 babybus:

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 1 year ago

Mileage... 3 Mpg...yes

It's absurd and hilarious and I love it.

But is it just a stock Tacoma with big wheels or did they do more body mods to it? It looks way smaller than even older style trucks like the bed was shortened or something but that could just be an illusion due to the size of the wheels.

[–] molten@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How do I get one?

I'd end up pulling it too far back and it would snap.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

He’s just popped out to retrieve the wives from Furiosa.

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Say what you will. Make the wheels smaller and you have a pretty useful tuck if you're in the city.

Put a tire on the back (like a penny) for wheelies!
