Can I have Wednesdays lottery numbers please Steve !

I said useless information.
If I knew the numbers my truck would be bigger than Simons.

Even though Lucifer has been lifted another 3 inches since this pic, yes it does make mine look small.

its cool, but im with Yoshie, on a function over form vibe. Can it do anything..like jump cars etc, or does it just show the blokes engineering skills.??

[BUSHWHACKER]

Wrong sorry,

Its a 3.5 V8 TVR engine

Same thing Alan.

Probably could jump cars but like all big car jumping trucks, jump enough of them and you will break it. Then they cost ££££s to fix. So unless your an American company called Clear Channel with an endless pot of money for fixing trucks they won't do it.

I'm in two minds about these things really.

On one hand, I like engineering and enjoy seeing nice workmanship and clever engineering solutions, but on the other hand, when it gets to the extent that the working chassis of a vehicle is a few feet off the ground and the body is 5ft above that, well, I dunno. Its just a big stainless bedstead with a car body on top.

So, on the other side of the coin is Yoshie's view. This is where engineering becomes really clever, where you create a vehicle which is totally capable with the minimum of change by application of really novel engineering solutions.

Something for everyone!

Same thing Alan.

Cheers Vince, i didn't know that!

Lost on me, the diffs are still only what 18" 22" off the floor.
With that height, fecin useless off road

Lift as little as you can get away with for what you need = a usable truck.

So what you need is a truck that runs low on the highway for stability and lifts the suspension automatically for off road use??
Think I got one of them outside with a green oval on it!!

you mean the suspension still works on it???

[gwh200]

But as with all these things, you need to be able to let itdown again...and not eventually drive lopsided, and turn the indicators on and the headlamps flash...etc,etc,etc...and ifit doesn't yet, give it time...it won't fail to dissapoint.

Yeh just about I have to blow it up now and then!

Hey I'm tooooo! familiar with Lucas disease,Key code lock out!,windows not set!,transmission failure! Blah Blah!!!
I reckon she must be female because the BECM (Body Electrical Control Module) wont shut up some times

The toyota is a refreashing change with its electric nothing and only cooking the head to watch out for!!!

Bring it to me, I'll blow it up properly for you.

Yeh I saw that one coming
