The owner is a farmer from Nebraska.I see that thing at TDS every year and I've seen it at The Hammers and in Moab.I just wonder when he has time to tend to his crops  .I've seen him out on trails at different times of the year but he does live in Nebraska.At least he did a few years back when I met him

Not a 4x4.. but damn look at that lift.  i was driving thru a neighborhood and this was parked outside.

Miscategorized.  This belongs in the "disgrace to off road" thread not the "cool and unusual rock crawlers".

$5000.00 wheels/tires on a $500.00 car.  That makes sense.

  I tried to calculate all the $4 I've spent on my truck to build it and to keep it running, and I think I might have been able to retire

[MiniSimp]

Its based on a Mitsubishi pickup truck, mog 404 axles, custom disc conversion, 4 wheel steer, custom double beadlock rims, 39" pitbulls, hydraulic suspension with 16" fox 2.5" coilovers on the front and 12" fox coilovers on the rear, milemarker type R modified winches front and rear, warn center winch, etc etc etc.
Take a look at the photo's!!

My origonal purchase price was under $500. Mabye I should have started with a more expensive pile of scrap. 

[82rustbeast]

What about the Heater/AC, I dont see any vents either, and theres no need to defrost the windows when you dont have any.
