This thread is to share your pics (not cut/paste web pics). If you have been on the trail, at a show, maybe walmart and seen a big (40+tires) truck, post up the pics.

Too many folks think big trucks have no place in the 4x4 world and are dead. I dissagree, we all owe it to big truck for the evolution of this sport to its current state. It was only about five years ago that every magazine always had a bright red/yellow/blue chev, ford, dodge with 40s or bigger each month on the cover. I miss those days.
 
The Icelandic trucks are my favorite big tire rigs that can be street driven and seem to work quit well for what they are built for.

The big gay dumb truck thread is on pirate.

Dude owns this thread by putting the icelandic rigs in here. You dont need to jack a rig 3 feet in the air to fit 44's.
 
I guesse interco dont care about no dumb jambo, huh!

I built the truck that started that thread, thanks.:awesomework:

thats great that you earned some cash working on a rig.

Clearly you have no ability to understand what others are trying to convey. Maybee some pics of one of those trucks on rhinoland work work better for you, As the sport has progressed away from small dicks to large balls.
 
more worthless but good looking trucks.:cool:

You and binder seem to be the closed minded ones. You guys are trying to convey that eveybody should wheel a buggy and **** everything else.

I have a mudder, a wheeler, a buggy, and a ton of other **** with engines. I like everything buggys, trucks, cars, etc.

I doubt any of the trucks pictured are the only rig the owner has.

your wasting your breath in this thread, its all about big trucks, not function. These rigs are a hobby for them, yours is wheeling a buggy.:beer:
 
another cup of my tea:haha:

Well i will give you one thing...Those guys with big useless trucks have made interco come out with some big rubber...They are still lame though. Kinda like having a R1 and never feeling it burnout as yer doing a wheelie in 2nd.

I used to be into Mazda RX-7s, and a lot of people on those forums were so "**** piston engines" and "screw Mustangs" that it was nuts. I have an appreciation for everything in a certain way. Even though it may not be my cup of tea completely (like a riced out Honda), I can still find little things I like about it usually. For instance, that "POS Mustang" may need WAY more engine work to be as fast as my RX-7 was, but hey, it still sounds cool as hell at an idle with that cam and exhaust. Or, my girlfriends Dads terminator isnt my dream car, and I wouldnt ever go out with the intention of buying one, but I can still respect it as a great piece of engineering. Hell, some of the cool tricks Ive seen for accomplishing tasks have been crossed from other "genres" of automotive building. No real point to this post, just my two cents :D

+1 I love a lot of different types of cars and trucks. I've got a bagged S10 that lays frame but I dont dare post that here :haha:

Ive thought about building something like that once or twice, I just love getting into something new simply for the learning aspect of things. Hell, half my OBA setup is parts sourced from minitruck airbag systems anyway. Thats a perfect example of what I meant earlier about learning tricks from other genres. I probably never would have known of some of the valves, pressure switches, parts supplier websites, etc available had I not broadened my horizons and looked into those trucks at one point. Then again, who are we to define what an auto enthusiast is? :flipoff:

Nice, Ive been wanting to build a 2wd toy that will hop. On air, Not hydro.

I sure as hell dont have a ton of money for a big tire rig that wont ever be used. They sure are clean though:masturbanana[1]:

thats the way it works. The guy feeling the burnout going into second is not the consumer keeping yamaha alive. The nerd with good credit is.:booo:

I see your point and agree to an extent. I just like big rigs! Thats what got me into this sport, and I have evolved with it.
RATRODS took off for a reason, folks likem, even if worthless!:beer:

I guess bagged bagged minis have one benefit over big trucks. they are pretty useless to begin with :haha: the only thing my S10 was good for was hauling minimal tools and getting good MPG's which is can still do both. My F350 on teh other hand is pretty much useless and if I cant get rid of it I'm going to try and bring it back down to a useful height.
