Noticed this season the mythbusters have the extended cab version of old green but the early 99 model. Sounds really cool when they rev it.


Just saw the square wheel episode..................Those animals...........

 

I noticed that too

And I'm glad I'm not the only one that sat there and figured out that it was an early '99. My wife didn't know what to think of me

 

Wife apologized for them as she saw how upset i was getting, lol.

 

Yeah, that thing took a real beating with the square wheels!

 

That frame was really flexing. Couldn't believe it when i first seen it.

MythBusters: Square Wheels : Videos : Discovery Channel
About half way down - Square Wheel Angle 3

 

All I can say is WOW

 

been watching that show since it started. still remember the first episodes were filmed in their apartments. they really do have the greatest job.

but that test should have been done with a DODGE!!!!!

 

HA! That was the brakes falling off of the vehicle. They said on the "aftershow" video that they had to lock the rear differential to make sure they controlled the positioning of the square wheels. That was insane. It made me cry to see it sitting on 3 wheels at the end.

 

WOW is right! I dont think that a Dodge could have stood up to that abuse at all. lol

 

True, but it would have been FUNNY to see and not sad like it was with the stroker!

 

That is pretty amazing that thing held up as well as it did. Talk about a workout on every component!!

 

Those people should be strung up for doing that!

 

I thought that during the show they said they got the toughest truck they could find for this test? Kind of makes me wonder if they tried this test with some other pick up first and had it fail miserably. Can you imagine if they had tried that with one of those Toyota's that had the rusting frame issue?

 

Watched it! That truck held up! But wow, what a ride!

 

makes me that much prouder of my fords...i'd rather push them than drive anything else.
