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
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.
Its most likely a little of both. Definitely agree about the suspension travel, its like the first thing I noticed. Sacrificing the most ideal offroading design for the silliness of the build does not make it not purpose-built, and it also is not the same category as your average lifted grocery getter with massive rims and paper thin tires
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.
and i bet they go WEEEEEEE whenever they drive it
I sure would!
Okay, yeah you have me converted. I'm definitely not a vehicle elitist and am all for purpose lol my initial reaction was how to like it is from the post and how those types of people continually infantile themselves to their own detriment.
