I bet this thing is a DOG, and in my opinion looks... well... just bad.

Its kinda cool that the bed is all custom... But its not my style, I doubt that thing can pull anything that would make it worth being a dualy.

yeah,

I think they added 14" to the frame and bolted a long bed off of a standard cab to it. It looks like an odd version of one of the hill billy duallys that pull in and out of where I work all day, I work for a casino/thouroghbred track.. Nothing like a toothless lady in an F350 dually saying hello to start your morning off towing a horse trailer! I hate the visor over the windsheild

...I agree it's probably a dog, what with the poor ol' 22R trying to lug the extra weight with the low gears...

But I gotta give the ol' boy credit for putting in the time and effort to realize his vision...

Don't understand _why_, but I gotta admire the determination...

Oh you dont like 3' tall wings, Pyramid audio systems, clear pvc seat covers, stick on side louvers, spinner hub caps, neon lights, Lund crap who and why what the hell are those things that Chevy guys put in the bed that are fiberglass and resemble a wide roll bar? JC whitney sells some of the cheapest CRAP I have ever seen but it does look like one of GWB Texas yahoo buddies went a little crazy in the new fall catalog

How do you express sarcasm on the internet?

don't think it'd be any more of a dog than a stock 4x4. i'm willing to bet it's got the cheesy double rims instead of a true full floatind dually axle that toyota made though

What I've seen a fair number of (when I was in LA) are the Dually flatbeds you see the landscaping/gardening crews using. Those things do some hardcore hauling for that little engine. You so-cal guys have any idea where those come from? That's not some secret HD series they used to have is it?

ha, I didnt see that!

Haahaha, that’s funny I did not realize that truck was in WV that’s too funny considering I’m in WV! I have seen a lot of crap here but the truth is its everywhere you go NOT just WV! I drove to Decatur Ill last year, I saw some stuff on the way out there that made my area of WV look a lot better than it already is! When you see a hooked up Chevette you ask yourself " where is a drunk driver when we need one"

Angry thats just wrong!

Man WHY that’s just wrong.... I have a picture of a SWEET SAS'd 99 Taco that has a freaking WING on the back!!!!! WTF.. I need to find that and post it here, I asked the guy why he had it on there, he said he bought the truck with the suspension already done from the original owner and wanted to drop it, yes drop an SAS'd Tacoma. I wanted to hit him. HARD, I walked away.

theres a guy where I live, has a tacoma ext cab 4x4. It's slammed to the ground, 20" wheels..and has hydaulics. Nice truck....but a waste. I asked him what kind of statement he was trying to get across lowering a 4x4. He replied.."my parents wouldn't buy me a new car, so I lowered my truck." I was thinking the whole time he was talking.....WTF is wrong with this guy?
