It is!
Like, this is what baby trucks look like before they grow up :)
It's absurd and hilarious and I love it.
But is it just a stock Tacoma with big wheels or did they do more body mods to it? It looks way smaller than even older style trucks like the bed was shortened or something but that could just be an illusion due to the size of the wheels.
I'd end up pulling it too far back and it would snap.
Put a tire on the back (like a penny) for wheelies!
He’s just popped out to retrieve the wives from Furiosa.
Say what you will. Make the wheels smaller and you have a pretty useful tuck if you're in the city.
A stump truck
Fun fact, if you take the pullback wheel thing out of a toy car, wind it up and let it go, it jumps around all over the place. When I was a kid in the 80s we called them "crazy wheels."
I'll bet this little stub truck does the same thing lol
I unironically love it.
Too high off the ground
Good for wheelies
Good for running over kids. I love my relatively tiney, low off the ground car. This thing doesn't need to be so high at all, it's just made to look like an SUV. But it turns into a SUCC
I dunno, I feel like between the shortened body and larger wheels, the height is a bit of an illusion. Just eyeballing it, I don't think this thing is very tall, perhaps just slightly taller than stock. My point being, this thing probably sits lower than most modern crossovers. Here's a stock taco for reference, notice that there's not so much lift to fit the oversized wheels as much as they just enlarged and deapened the wheelwells:
Gotta admit, though, it looks like some nice bodywork. ATBGE
I want to pull it backwards until it disappears
That's what she said?
I mean this is basically the chode of vehicles. It's the accurate representation of what those lifted hibeam smokestack truck owners are actually like lol
Edit: Those mfers are Tonka tough. Still going through life with the mind of a toddler.
Nah this thing has purpose, unlike most ridculous obnoxious lifted trucks that are poor for both offroading and towing. This would almost definitely perform extremely well offroad and likely was made just to be an offroader. It might not be your hobby or taste, and that's fine, but someone has created a really cool and special vehicle here
Eh it doesn't look like a purpose-built offroader to me. I mean you could do a lot worse offroad than with this thing, but there's a few reasons that make it pretty obvious that this was just made for the fun aesthetic: 1 It doesn't have very much room for suspension to travel at all, compromising high-speed desert and dune riding. 2. Due to reason 1, it's articulation is likely very poor, compromising it's technical trail riding abilities. Maybe it could hold it's own when mudding? But then again, those aren't quite the best wheels and tires for the job and I see no snorkel either, so I doubt that it does. So yeah I'm almost certain that they chopped it up not with the intention to make a solid off-road vehicle but because "lol wouldn't it be hilarious?" Don't look for logic in or underestimate the enginuity of a bored, slightly buzzed dude with a welder.
Its most likely a little of both. Definitely agree about the suspension travel, its like the first thing I noticed. Sacrificing the most ideal offroading design for the silliness of the build does not make it not purpose-built, and it also is not the same category as your average lifted grocery getter with massive rims and paper thin tires
For sure, this thing actually looks hella fun to drive!
and i bet they go WEEEEEEE whenever they drive it
I sure would!
Yep - pulled up next to a Small-Penis-Mobile the other day, new Ford extra cab, super duty diesel, with that stupid Roosh package no less, so we know he paid a LOT extra. And it was black, shiny and clean, even the tires. Fucking garage queen for a twat.
Lifted, stupid tires, some stupid gizmo in the receiver.
I bet I've towed more with my 20-year-old "toy truck" than that douchebag ever will. Oh, and he was on speakerphone holding the phone up with his right hand, going 5mph under the limit, holding up traffic.
I probably get better fuel economy with 250k on the odometer, and I don't spew out the crap he does.
Asshat.

This looks like the truck equivalent of a really short guy with huge muscles and a perpetual scowl, who always keeps his shoulders directly above his knees and his hands in karate-chop pose while he walks.
You know, it absolutely does. It does look like him..
I don’t hate it….in fact I kinda like it
This is unironically awesome. Needs a bigger lift to give room for suspension travel though
Steal a manhole cover, paint it to look like a penny.
I just realized that I had to think for a while about what a penny looks like. God we banned them here in Canada so long ago...

That thing has to turn weirdly.
Mmm why?
Looks like if you accelerate too quickly it will do a backflip.
Probably turns on a dime and crawl and fit around hazards offroad like a champ

A monster truck the size of a minivan
World's biggest RC car.
Look at the DUMPY on that thing
