I think this would best go into one of the Misc. Forum categories but I couldn't find a good one so I'll phrase it so that it fits here.

Why not have a dual axle truck? Increased weight capacity, and it fits through a drive through.... With the ratings on a SRW axle, wouldn't a dual axle SRW be better than a DRW setup? Even if the back axle was just load bearing would be useful.








What ever happened to 4 wheel steering? Every time I hit a parking lot I think that.


Always thought it would be neat to weld two cabs together back to back, flip the front axle for the one in the back, and you've got 4 wheel drive and 4 wheel steering. Plus the room for 2 engines, but not sure how that would work. (Two transfer cases back to back?)

No ones interested in a dual axle custom truck? I am surprised that no one has done that, or the 4 wheel steering, or some other mods here.



Found Tim's Website, has some pretty neat rides there. (Something weird about this URL, maybe blocked?)

Pretty cool, I like the double axle duelly above, looks sweet with that trailer on it. Not so sure about the 6 doors though.

I'll pass on the dual axle & the 6 door cab, but I'd love to ride in one of these!
