What a waste of $. Not legal for road use because its too high. Plus you would have to lift whatever you put in the bed about 5'.

I'll keep the Ex. :-)

I used to see one in Northern Colorado when I lived there, it was street legal. What a head turner, it was freakin' huge! Pretty over the top though, IMO.

It i owned by a guy who owns a stereo shop in Omaha. He has held many World Records for Bass. Look them up, Metro Audio Dynamics. This is not a vehicle they compete with just a show truck.

What was most impressive about it was the TIRES....

(And note the towel on the steps for the barefoot kids to climb up !!!!)

In most states, legal or not is determined by the height of the front and rear bumpers.

That particular truck appears to be perfectly legal in Virginia.

In florida your bumper can't be higher than the center of your tires. THis is to keep you from running OVER someone. Plus there are no mud flaps installed.

FWIW, there are a ****load of redneck lifted trucks here and nobody enforces the laws.

Makes sense.

Here is a fairly good pic of what I believe is a stock F650 that meets Florida requirements.



And here are a couple pics I found of a customized model, over at the Motor trends website.
