Everyone is always hatin' on the mud trucks...:) It is probably a purpose built rig for where he lives... here in FL its mostly mud and I see ALOT crazier stuff ....some of the swamp buggies look pretty scary.. maybe that guy needs to drive through 10ft of water all the time...:D

You can't bash the guy... he is a mechanic on airplanes... he just drives his mechanics platform to school every day unlike all the other students... hence no front driveshaft.

He's in Arizona. But many states in the US do not enforce lift laws. Some don't have lift laws only guidelines.

In Florida, you often see trucks with full hydro steering, 42-54" tires, 15+" lifts all over the place. People don't drive like idiots and so no one bothers them. Plus, it's tough to enforce even if it was the law because it's widespread.

That thing is such a waste of a nice bodied J-Truck. It has no purpose at all. The axles are way undersized for the tires, no suspension movement, it may be able to through a little mud, assuming it had the power to turn the 500lb tires. So I agree with OrangeCherokee, charges should be placed, then the button should be pressed.

i'd gladly be the button pusher. i'd hate to waster the truck but sometimes you gotta break some eggs to make an omlette.

A little mud? I bet it will go through just about anything. You could drive it through a lake. Time to admit ya'll (orange and stuka)are elitists who think it's your way or the highway. ;)

in the first pick someone said the axles are to small for the tires? they are rockwells sitting under there.
