Sad part is he had a special wacked out front axle built for this thing with a centered pumpkin and all but didn't have the IQ to correct the pinion angle.

Torque, you mean this is not an acceptable angle?? http://128.83.80.200/taco/scary85.jpg

Ivan I like the lift blocks on that one
You've really got to wonder if the guys that build vehicles like that don't realize that everyone laughs at them.

Every time I start to think I may have some ugly looking fab work I visit that site and it convinces me open heart surgery is within my skill level. Sadly many of the trucks there DO get driven on the street . . . but that one did not.

What do ya'll think of body lifts? http://128.83.80.200/taco/scary164.jpg

Racerguy, do you by any chance know what brand tires is on the so called mini van that you posted the picture of?

I have never seen that tread design.

Those are the Interco TrXus STS tires . . . or as we like to call them the Mall Crawlers. They're actually designed for sand more than anything.

Mall crawlers? That is good, that would fit that rig good with the messed up pinion angle.

I was wondering what engine was in it. If you look real close you can see 2 header primaries clearly and barely see where there might be a third, must be a 3 cylinder ugo engine?
Thanks for the tire info.
