After close review of Scary Steering, I think that there should be test you have to pass before being sold boggers...

1. What kind of truck is this going on?
2. How did you lift it enough to fit in 44s?
3. Justify why you used/have _______. (front blocks, rebar for drag link, 48 shocks, no front drive shaft, chromed axles, etc.)

I was wondering myself what the purple tube was.. It has a couple DeWalt stickers on it..????

My work van had a tube like that, actually exactly like that. Its for holding pipes,strut, stuff like that that you dont want banging around in the van. Also, notice the ladder racks on the top of the tube.
I dont think you could fit but 1 fishing pole in there though..especially if there is reels on em.

The front does look like a fishing pole holder of some sort with a fold out platform. And on the east coast, yeah you can drive on the beach, but here on the west coast of FL you cannot. And it is about a 3-4 hour drive to get to the east coast. I couldnt imagine somebody building a rig like this to drive to the east coast all the time just to fish.

Everything on the truck looked new. No gas in the cans, shovels were spotless, compresser and winch looked fresh out of the case.
I think this guy got on the internet and bought everything he possibly could for the off-road scene. Just like alot of the jeep guys.

And why the HELL would you want to bolt a highlift jack to the hood while you got that giant roof rack??? That would drive me CRAZY!

I think this rig is rediculous, not used for anything but for the THOUGHT of going off-road or being cool by being "prepared" for anything.

Hey, you guys remember the pic of the chevy I posted earlier? It was across the street from my house today! A guy one of the neighbors knows bought it on craigslist. I found this truck on another website I'm on, I didnt even think it was local! Kinda weird huh??

Anyways, I couldnt get outside quick enough to look at it before he pulled away. But I found the ad on craigslist.
Notice he says its a dana 44 and ALL it needs is a front driveshaft!

Chevy Silverado lifted on 38's 5000$ This week only!

All im saying is that its likely a mall crawler,but if one were to take it off-road,it would do a lot better than some of the Ego-shrines that we all have seen..........In my opinion lame comes in degrees,the scary steering people and the 30" lift on stock 1/2 ton running gear folks take the cake,and this guy is closer to mid- pack in the fail sweepstakes....

Well I agree... It definatly would be good since hes got everything on there he could ever possibly need. And I'm sure the 4x4 works.
But it still looks retarded and definatly way to much junk!

Blue Bomber is starting off with a positive reputation.
to me it looks like a warning "we put all of our products on this truck so you wont want to".

In comparison,the Hummer H2 pictured recently,doesnt even deserve to crawl the same malls as that Ford,maybe i need to revive the "trust fund" thread,im thinking that F350 might place high in both categories....I wonder if the F350's owner is the exceptionally muscular guy holding the phone?
If you want to know about getting in trouble,just ask Ben,make it a PM,though,otherwise he's likely to get more grief!
