Hawaiian Style Toys.

[iNfErNaL]

Here's a few pics of some 808 style Toys,some of these guys are friends of mine from the Big Island and some are friends of theirs.These rigs were not built for rock crawling so please,no comments about them being to tall for the rocks  .I have always had a soft spot for these Toys because that's all I wanted when I was younger and even though I've owned a few Toyotas,I never had one the way I wanted it back then  .So here's a couple of my friends and their friends:

so peps, not poking fun here, i really am curious, why do they put the giant wheels with reletively skinny tires? does this serve some purpose..? i know i would hate would mount em

[boggerunner]

i was over at alcan spring the other day, and saw these 12" lift springs and asked about them, the guy behind the counter.  he told me he was getting alot of orders for them out in hawiee and that they actually do flex alot too.

They play in the sand alot and the wide footprint  works real good in the sand,they don't have very many rocks overthere.Also,it's the look alot of them go for.Alot of them run 15X14s and there is even a guy overthere that was making 15X18s.Most of those tires really aren't that skinny,the majority are 14.5 and 15.5s.

those are nice most of them have very steep front driveshaft angles what type of wheeling is there in hawaii

if i worked at the local tire shop i would turd my pants if one of those came in, i dont think the bead seater les schwab uses would move those

they all look clean, and it looks like tehy all love boggers i jus never understood the skyhigh and only run 33s... or the smaller sized tire compared to the lift heigth...

Same here.

I understand having a wide footprint is great for the sand, hell I live at the beach, but I don't understand stretching tires onto rims that are too wide. Or why they run boggers for sand either.

[unclejpl4x4]

i don't care about the high lift  but tires
I don't know how the f they get away with that  sorry but i think thats a accident waiting 2 happen  i understand LGP   so get the right tire /wheels for what you need.

I know you have  .I have a bunch more I'll post up.I was just waiting to see if there were any negative comments,some of these guys brouse through the board.

[Rocksurfer]

I'd say they are just going with the current trend, there is some wheelin' there but nothing like here so for the most part it's just a look. We stuff huge tires in small rims to keep from ripping our rims up, they on the other hand don't have those issues or they'd be trying to protect them like we do.

[DTB]

 

I'm just not quite sure what to say about that!

i definitely have respect for the people that can build a clean rig and keep it clean, i just dont fully understand the concept/purpose of building it the way they do. but worth looking at anyways

[yota_krawler]

why so lifted? they are sky jacked and have reeeeaaaallllly wide tires. I get that they dont have rocks like we do but honestly why do they need to be so high?
