Good start for an expedition rig?

Wow.

Two large pics.

Damn, those blocks are scary. I'd be very afraid of them collapsing sideways...

Hmm after looking at the larger pics, I guess the mis-matched gearing wont matter to much considering I dont even see a front drive shaft..haha

You are kidding, I never noticed! Well custom drive shafts cost money and who needs 4 wheel at Costco parking lot anyway! Yes honey we can go camping w/ your brother as soon as I get my front drive line fixed.....really!:costumed-smiley-007

I would love to see some moron make a front drive shaft for it and take it out to a trail without re-gearing. Not that anyone who thinks it's cool would ever actually be on a trail. ...But, it would be fun to bet on what part of the driveline went first. :sombrero: Maybe when the front started pulling away from the rear, that giant block would remove itself. :coffeedrink:

LOL, only in California do you see this type of thing... trucks with high lifts and small tires. Totally defeats the purpose of a 4x4 vehicle

Or Hawaii :ylsmoke:

We got 'em in Texas too... lots of them. Although they are usually big 1 ton diesels. Most are just for show, as if to advertise how little the driver knows about... well, much of anything... more dollars than sense. Some, however, are purpose built mud boggers that slog through some nasty stuff, and have pretty wheels for driving around when they are not tearing stuff up. This case clearly falls into the former category...
