A little different

Saw this and decided to snap some pics.

Seems a bit extreme for Mud.

Missing some fiberglass.
10-bolt SUA.
Is it even 4WD?

Durst · 05-27-08, 11:42 PM

NIFTY!

It is a 4x4 that is built like a stadium truck.

5280Hawk · 05-28-08, 08:11 AM

Maybe it's for the BAJA 1000. Isn't anyone allowed to race?

What in the hell is that eyebrow thingie over the front of the cab?

Lightbar?

Looks like a guy who had access to a welder and some tubing, and went a little nuts. With those skills, he should have been able to add a solid axle up front...

I'd have no problem driving it

On the Hawaiin Islands they are installing 6" and 8" lifts on the IFS rigs. Kauai has the most of these type of rigs.

I was there in April and you are correct, there are tons of big lifted Toys there

I lived in Guam for a 18 months and was amazed at how many lifted and SAS trucks I saw. Never saw one dirty as I changed my hobbies to kayaking and diving, but they were solid rigs. Some were sporting 38s and 40s. I had contemplated shipping an 85 4runner to the island, but figured on an island that small, the truck scene would be small. I was wrong.

for the record, thats a truck, 89-95. Not a Taco.

FJ40onNOS · 06-24-08, 05:59 AM

looks like a preruunner getting set up for a score race

WristPin · 06-24-08, 07:04 AM

I see a front CV axle. Downey makes a long travel kit that uses Taco axles.

bkg · 06-24-08, 08:47 AM

interesting choice of rear axle, but otherwise I see nothing wrong.

Pretty sure you're seeing steering linkage...

D'Animal · 06-24-08, 08:50 AM

So I put it in the wrong section?

Gotta be a desert race truck. That thing's all about going fast on the dirt. Looks like fun.

I bet he jumps it as well.

D'Animal · 06-24-08, 09:10 AM

I agree, If this was sitting in Las Vegas, NV it would look normal. But it was sitting on Kaui.
