Ridiculously Huge toy PU

ok i saw the thread with the 4runner, but this thing has got to take the cake. i saw it in person before, and it is just massive. those 44's are no where near the body, and when the bags are inflated the door is like head high. im guessing the turbo kit's goin in to help move this thing. anyway this must have been a pretty big pita to do...props for originality i guess.


think the taco has about 8" of lift w/ 33's

Looks like he can stand in the truck bed and hang the 2nd story Christmas lights on his house!
People in Hawaii seem to like stuff even bigger than Texas, what gives down there?

Dear lord, wait till you see a "bro" truck. Huge Ford or Chevy on 54"+ boggers that serve no real purpose. And you're sitting there thinking "wtf?!" when some 5ft tall guy with all sorts of tatoos and a beanie has to get a ladder to get down .

Look about half way down the page for an example of a "bro truck"

There are even bigger ones than that.

EDIT: Found another picture of one:

At least the guy's running some rockwell axles.

I still think that thing is just too big, but, it is still pretty sweet to look at hah.

Wow! At least he actually has some useful things on there like the rockwells and diff brakes. I bet he got a group buy on shocks!

I think you're right... I was still in shock over the Rockwells on a Toyota when I noticed the diff brakes. That must have taken some effort and thought. I am definitely impressed.

My ignorance is showing here, but I'm curious. Do the diff brakes mean that this truck has no brakes at the wheels? i.e., is that the primary method of stopping this vehicle?

IIRC, they directly slow down the axles at the diff. rather than at the wheels.

ROFL, I just checked out that site, it's great. I hate the "flatbillers" they're pretty much all tools.
