I have seen some dodgy s*** getting towed on the highway, but jeebus

No Way! This SUV Owner Ignores Public Safety and Tows a 38-ft Motorhome with a Trailer Dolly on a Highway

That Chevy Trailblazer might be overdoing it. Take a close look at this photo taken on a highway in Kansas - can you see the insanity? For those of you who

See, airbags.....
Surprised that’s Kansas, that’s a steep hill for Kansas.

Ever seen a turnbuckle that large before!

Swmbo snapped these today.

My guess, it's the VW/Mog hybrid that was for sale up north.

Cool either way.

Me thinks it's a Transporter T5. No need for an awning off the back... just set up your lawn chair under the overhang

I'm home for a week so i thought i'd head out to Walmart and stock up on essentials--Toilet paper--! I came across this gem.
"Langford Overlander" perhaps?!?!
From the hardhat in the cab, it was a dead giveaway that the guy is clearly a carpenter by trade.

Maybe he is just hauling his house to the dump.

That poor Hino deserves better.

And reminder to self - 'make sure not to hire that carpenter for anything around my house'

After that photo, what threw me off was driving past an awesome blue HZ79(?) pickup on Millstream rd.
Anyone else see this thing around?

I think @stevebradford took pics of that same one a while back. Found these with some digging. Look the same? Wonder if it had a previous life as a mine truck.

There you go, looks about right. Nice truck!

We need to find you one....

In a perfect world, one of those and a 70 series Troopy. A manual 80 while were at it...

Surprised you haven't been smuggling one back from up north a few parts at a time...

Seem to remember a Johnny Cash song about that.

Only domestic stuff where i work primarily, but the mines where i was at in Yukon/NWT had them everywhere. I've got photos of brand new H*79 p/u boxes in a mine site stacked on top of each other. Factory crated axles in boxes being replaced with Miller units. I did manage to find out where/how they get fleet trucks out to the Yukon for dispersal/dismantling though. Before i get too tired of going up there for work i'll make a couple last trips to get some goods.

Seen it around town, often at Crappy Tire

Is it really a Mog? I’ve always looked for a tiny tent trailer to use like that on a pick up.
Or small deck truck/utility trailer. Cool idea.

I think it's a VW with mog axles. But I haven't seen it from the front.

Was for sale for ages a few years ago up north somewhere.

This is the truck I was thinking of...

Very cool. Good rig for crossing Siberia.

Volvo C series? The portals look fitted from factory. Spotted it slumming it in Victoria today.
