I guess there are just some wierd things to see in Portland. Drivin' with my coworker around lunch time today I saw a lifted old school hooptie like say a lincoln continental something like that.......anyway it's lifted so that the driver is sitting aprox. the same height off the ground as I am in my truck........he was rollin' on 24" (or more) spinner's with low pro tire's and it had a lot of bounce to it like it didn't have shocks at all.......and I don't think it was a hydraulic's thing cuz there is no way that those huge wheels and tires woulda fit inside his wheelwells

COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES

I'm sure they embellished the fuel economy...

I don't even think a Tundra in stock trim will get 25mpg... Toyota's website indicates an estimated 20mpg for a 2 wheel drive....

All of those beds were custom made, at least the dually fender extension. The second and third pictures are the same truck.

Every now and then I see a 80's style Ford Ranger that had duals on the rear. If I ever get the chance, I'm going to ask why. Anthony

There is a newer CTD 2500 4x4 in the town I live in thats been LOWERED!!! I couldn't believe it, got a somewhat close look at Lowe's one day, Looks like the suspension mods were done with a cutting torch and a 30 pack of Keystone Lite.
What a waste!!

Now THAT's stupid! And I thought lifting two wheel drive trucks was ignorant!

Ive seen a few of the toyota dually campers and theres a ranger dually running around here. Always wondered if it had anything done like a built 302 it would make a heck of a sleeper.
