this guy says that it is 100% safe and built correctly. i can just imagine what would happen if he was to lock up the brakes!

Oh my freakin god, 12" lift blocks = EPIC FAIL!!!! There's no way that thing should be allowed on the roads. I'm sure it needs more than tire balancing with that wavy steering link as well.

 

Looks like he took a trailer hitch and stuck it under the front.

I really like the drag link.

 

Something tells me this isn't the type of truck he's going to go cruising around town with.

Regardless, I agree with you all- this truck is a tragedy waiting to happen.

 

I hope that's not the girl he's trading it for.

 

hahahahaha

 

If he's afraid to put his family in that truck, I would be too.

 

Screw the truck, Ill take the girl. She can ride in my truck.

 

Are you serious? She's creepy looking. Doesn't she know how to smile?

And that truck... whoa. I wouldn't even ride in it. That "lift" should be taken off and sold for scrap.

 

That rig is unsafe and a accident waiting to happen.............rebuild it right or part it out, it does not belong on the public roads.

The girl looks like she cant wait to get away from that POS.

 

Just two cents worth but... not to mention all of the possible safety violations, like the bumpers and headlights that (I believe are supposed to be a certain measurment from the ground in certain areas, If not all) I'm sure there are more..

 

Best part is this idiot prob welded it all together with a little chincy 110 volt welder....jesus I wouldn't wanna be within a mile of that POS

 

Did ya'll notice he does actually have traction bars on the front axle? If you got those (well, and they are strong enough) then you can go as high as you want on the lift blocks, as then the spring only supports the axle vertically, and it's the traction bars and the panhard bar that locate the axle fore-aft and side to side. I can't see this truck getting much suspension articulation, but I don't think the front axle will fall off either, it's probably a mud-bogging rig and if the welds are good and material used is of proper strength he should be able to drive that quite safely in these activities. Now, the rear axle, there's no pics of that, but I'd be surprised if he didn't put some sort of traction bars there too, altho with such a high lift he probably needs a panhard bard as well.

 

i would agree with everone else....major problems there waiting to happen.....a surfer would have a hell of a time on that steering link.....as for the traction bars i dont see them doing much good for safety as they are going thru the bottom lift block.....now if they were attached to the axle itself i might drive it ( in the mud for a soft landing when it eventually come apart.....for all the trouble he went thru he could have just bought the blocks and some lift springs.....thats a hillbilly deluxe if ive ever saw one
