Default HUGE truck!!!

Has anyone else seen this monster driving around the Alvin, Santa fe area on Hwy 6? I'm guessing this is a 4 link susp. Now he just needs to drop in a fully modded out ls1 to make this baby roll ......... I wonder how he gets in

I took some pics......

Is the truck a Pewter Chevy? If so, my buddies shop in Pearland, Texas Trophy trucks, built that truck. I saw it driving down the road the other day and I was literally scared for the guy driving the truck! Entirely too tall for my comfort....

He works at Frank's in Alvin right down Hwy 6 from where you work at the bank. I see it almost every evening when I am driving home from work. Its cool but looks dangerous and I dont see how his driving lights are legal. I dont see any lower lights. Isnt there a limit on the light height?

Yes there is a legal limit on vehicle height. This truck is about 10 inches higher than that from what I understand and he is still cop free! And if I remember correctly, the tires that I thought were too small as well, are 50 inch tires......

Yeah i'm sure, I have a 6" lift on my truck and had to adjust the lights. I wonder if he can fit under the bridge by the bank? And how the hell he gets in? He def. needs some wider tires or that thing is bound to flip!

He was at 24 Hr. Fitness last night while I was there. He's got his headlights dropped down in front so they're legal. He's also got chains that attach the body to the front suspension. Some kind of limiter system. Pretty huge truck. Kinda rediculous though.

It would be better if he would put some air bag setup on it so when he parks, he can bring it down and when he wants to show off he can raise up higher!

That dude has to have a giant vertical or can do pullups like a champ.

Ben, look for the dude that is constantly on the pull up bar or calf raise machine and I bet you will find him!!

Does anyone know if he has any engine mods? If not that thing is a dog! I mean they don't really have that much power to begin with.... and the transmission will be gone soon also unless he's beefed it up .....

Drive down the street today after you get off of work and go walk under his truck. That might help to see the bolton stuff. My buddy saw him driving down 35 the other day in the rain, he said it throws a massive rooster tail.

Just got off the phone with my buddy, he said that it is a custom fabricated 40 inch lift with 53" tires. The motor is completely stock.....which means it has to be extremely sluggish.
