A friend of mine just got done with a "project" and this is the result...absolutely CRAZY.

Wow...probably isn't a great "daily driver".

Looks like he has good articulation, but that has got to ride like a brick.

Very purpose built vehicle for rock crawling...definitely not a "honey go get some milk" vehicle. The axles are 2 1/2 ton axles off an old military vehicle. He's spent nearly 2+ years working and tweaking. Tires used to be measly 38's now he just switched out to 49's. Its a pretty amazing thing to see a truck put one wheel on top of a full size van without bringing any of the other three wheels off the ground.

Anyway thought you might like the eye candy.

How does it handle in the corners?

Built for Rush Hour Traffic................

Pretty cool! In the very first picture, you can clearly see his right front spring has popped out! When the truck comes back down, will that spring go back to the right spot? Or did he break something?

[MtnRdr]

The spring actually is free floating and is essentially just used to prevent bottoming out. Its attached to the bottom and if you look closely you'll see a spindle/guide on the top to give it a place to seat when the articulation is in such an extreme position.

pretty cool, looks like some hydraulic steering on that thing too, officially banning it from DOT approval. Definately not a grocery getter.

Nice articulation..!!

Is he done with it??? I noticed on the first picture that the passanger side coil is on the axle but not in contact or suporting the frame?? The top end is in the air..

I didn't see shocks either..
Is he planing on putting shocks and supporting the top of that coil???

Other than that seems like a really nice truck to go rock crawling...
