wow that truck is just.... awful....
i'd hate to be his driveline mechanic lol if he drives that on the street he has to go thru pinion bearings like crazy. a dramatic tilt like that will leave the pinion starved for lubrication/cooling oil.

lolz... the yaris does look small in comparison....
Someone should make an off roader yaris to do rock climbing and stuff... I guess that yaris would be able to compete in height with that monster truck |

Actually, the shop that made that truck closed its doors several months ago. It was well known for über-mall crawler rigs like this that would likely self-destruct if used offroad.
Here is a Jeep they had sitting out one day a while back... Most of the guys driving these rigs are in high school. I think they spend all the money they make at Starbucks or HEB on their vehicles, or fixing them... Cheers! M2 |

The David Choe Monster Scion xB less so, that thing is sad, very sad. And there are graffiti artists here that could do better than that. "Guerilla artist?" Give me a break! But did you notice the blue Yaris ten seconds into that vid? It was about the only cool thing in the entire clip! Cheers! M2 |

OMG that truck is just wrong. I don't understand why people lift trucks that high, it's dangerous and I find it hard to believe that it's legal. You can't use it offroad, it would probably break in the first 5 minutes....

this is a photoshop picture, right? or are you really short?
do people actually buy trucks like these as daily drivers?
