Is this Museroamer repainted?

 

[volcomsurfer]

OH MAN she's not blue anymore. Obviously I'm biased to the paint job lol. That's funny, I remember you telling me that you wanted to paint something that color when you saw it.

I'll never forget cresting over a hill in the middle of Baja and seeing this thing coming at me on the highway. It looked comical... absolutely giant. Not sure how it fit on the roads or passed semi trucks.

Not sure what your point is. Many vehicles (commercial trucks, traditional RVs, other F-550-based rigs, etc.) are this big or bigger and "fit on the roads" just fine. They're not for everyone, but I don't see a need to insult the guy's rig just because it's not for you.

Oddly enough, large trucks, and busses pass each other every day in central, south America. And pretty much everywhere.
