My Buddy's Chevy used to have it beat....
Not the greatest shot(typical Chevy, hood 's open... LOL) but, you can see he even axed the rad support.... LOL. It was first built with 40's and no lift, and I think it should have stayed that way... Now it still has 40's, but, it's on 13" of lift and has a 100% stock front clip, that's a totally *** backwards evolution if you ask me... He does want to go to ags though.

Typical butcher.
I am all for some fender trimming, but the guy could have been a little bit creative. The only reason there is any fender at all, was so he could keep the grille. Since the grille bolts to the fenders, it made it impossible to remove just the fender. Lazy if you ask me.
Lazy also describes that tow truck engine struggling to make rpm. "Glug glug glug", is all I hear. Makes little power, cant turn, has had the snot beat out of it. Loud is cool if the engine has the beans to actually turn the tires with authority. Loud and no power is just embarassing. (maybe I am too critical,,,,yeah, I am.)
Few more passes, and the front doors wont open. They too will be smashed in so far that they will bind. Thats gonna make it difficult to get in and out of, if he has to get in Nascar style.
Too bad cuz it could have been a nice truck.
