Not good for anything, doesn't even look good.

I wouldn't feel very safe wheeling that thing. it appears to be a bit top heavy.

your right, I saw low rider that did the same thing, only the guy could spin the bed and make it bounce which brought me back to the same question WHY! There are so many great mods that are realistic, and then there are some that are just plain dumb, much like the Lexus 4runner that was posted a few months back, WHY WHY WHY!! What a waste of a decent looking SAS truck! Lower it back down a little put normal tires on it, bolt the damn bed onto the frame and give it to me

Thats dumb...haha fake police lights on top!

On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this a WTF

Actually those are Trailblazer off-road lights. I don't think they're available anymore but they were quite nice (and expensive) when they were.

i never understood the show truck thing. why dump all that money into it and make it undriveable on or off-road?

Lol and there i was thinking MAD BIG FOOT haha... I actually like this, but I guess thats cause ive never seen anything like it

i think that the bed thing is actually a good idea but not a finshed one.

what im talking about is, i would like to be able to sit in my bed, and raise it that high, for instance, when at my local mx track, if you could get a few people in there and raise it up, so you had better visibility that would be hellsa tight,

would cost a ton to do, and would weight a ton, but it would be cool if you could do that,

but besides my pipe dream that truck is friggin gay.

I like the tubular front spring perches.

Not much danger from moving it in and out of a garage.

Tubular dude, totally tubular! like tripindicular dude!

That is a perfect example of a Southern California Show Truck. That is SO SO SO 1980's. There were tons of those in Phoenix around that time as well.

Now the thing over in SC seems to be the white fenders and the front jacked up on a 2WD.

keisur

just the front? I was thinking of just removing my rear springs+shocks and welding the frame to the rear axle to give it the "fixin' to take-off" look.

i bet that thing scores a 1000 on a RTI ramp

C'mon Steve,

calling a pre runner a "jacked up 2wd with white fenders" is a pretty big generalization.

There are a lot of cheesy (ricey) trucks cruising around CA but there are also some really, really nice legit pre runners. Many of those guys have put tons of labor and $$$ into their rides to make them work really well in the desert and even on-road.

A real pre runner is no more "jacked up" than your truck but gets twice as much vertical travel and can retain 4wd.

White fenders (gel-coat) make sense since these trucks are getting driven hard and expensive paint jobs are hardly practical.

Check out our Tacoma to see a versatile pre runner...
(with color matched fiberglass and 4wd )

Unfortunately a pre-runner would only make it to the trail head in Arizona, The Hammers, The Rubicon, and Colorado & Moab.

I know it's built for a different type of driving; I am just really not interested at all that. To me, it seems silly. To me that is.


I was quite amused at the huge group of pre-runners at the bottom of blow sand hill in Anza-Borrego as I looked down from the top.

Some day you'll have to leave your little corner of Kalifornia and wheel with the online community.
