Not so tough afterall...

 

What a piece of pelosi if it can't handle a simple jump like that!! Horrible weld skills apparently

 

Umm, back to the drawing boards or the show circuit guys.

 

fire the welder
fire the driver.

 

can you say, all money and no brains?



well, I put it together just like the book said....

 

The front shocks look almost as if they sheared the bolts off. If the welds failed I would think the bolts and mounting tabs would still be in those ears hanging by the right front tire. I bet the dudes put grade 5 in instead of grade 8 on accident. Just a thought. Someone is still fired!!!!!

 

yea thats what i was thinking. That does suck allot tho

we call those trucks all show and no go

AKA

pavement princess

 

hahahahaha! i saw this truck a while back in a magazine and also in a video the guys were talking about an "off-road monster" thats some funny stuff. I agree fire the welder and the person that thought it was going to make that jump flawlessly, hes lucky the thing didnt rollover.

 

oh man a rollover would have been priceless to see

 

Looks like bolts were too small. Could probably use more limiters if he's not gonna put enuff supension under it to be jumping and bottom out.

 

Perhaps it is a safety feature to keep the umm more challanged from driving too far.

 

Wanted to add some straight siping to the tires for highway travel.

 

Those shock mounts should be designed to put the bolts in double shear. If you look at the undamaged side of the truck in the video, you will notice they are not. The shock mount simply lays against the axle with a bolt through the mount into the axle & no outside tab to sandwich it.

That truck was an accident waiting to happen.

 

Thats what happens when you take a parking lot queen off road.

 

I read the magazine article about that trailer queen as well. I believe it was in "4 Wheeler" Magazine.

They had the estimated worth at $300,000.

It ain't no Grave Digger fella's.
