Itโs actually a really impressive bit of engineering and craft. Making the doors work around the back wheel wells because of the extreme chassis shortening is difficult work.
Also the fuel tank, drive shaft, exhaust, brake lines, and wiring all had to be modified to work too. Even the parking brake would have had to be changed to keep working.
I mean, it appears to have a respectable amount of engine bay... Maybe a supercharged 6 or LS could squeeze in there and it'd be fine. Still thirsty, but fine.
That's pretty cool! I like build vids a lot. This one looks specifically geared to off-road and that's not what drew me to the pic. I'm a weirdo that like cars with funny proportions/looks. I could imagine cutting away sheet metal and making some stupid huge wheels fit in there for no good reason other than look. You couldn't keep the profile and have adequate suspension, so it would have to ride on stiffer suspension, making it rather useless but to mess around with in some light dirt/mud or something. Of course you'd have to put a very powerful rotary in there to complete the mess, but it would be a ride.
You think the OP image is AI? How do you figure? (Or maybe my brain just put too much emphasas on the word "without" and you aren't saying the OP image is AI.)
I wasn't implying the image was made with AI. I was telling people they can learn to do this without using AI. I assume this image was made with photoshop, but people who had never seen these before would probably assume it's AI.
I still have the one I got in probably '82/83. Black semi tractor with a rotating spoiler instead of a trailer and that's where you could clip a penny to make it do tricks.That thing got a lifetime of use and abuse and it still works great.
A roof rack and straps. For those rare occasions. For all other times youre just burning fuel to haul around tons of unnecessary weight and endanger pedestrians more.
He doesn't understand that some men don't need their vehicle size to compensate for their tiny manhood (and I don't mean penis). Real men have fun and don't give a fuck, because they fuck. Like what you like with enthusiasm. Don't hurt other people or put down their joy. Support your fellows and sheilas. Cook an excellent meal. Mend your clothes. Be nuturing. Be kind. Don't be toxic. Be a fuckin' man. Or woman. Or whatever. I don't care. Be you. Be excellent to each other. Sorry, rant over.
You are a well known right-wing Trumper nut job around here, your opinion on what is and is not toxic is utterly worthless. Especially on toxic masculinity.
That's Jack from Lost. Totally not related to the meme, idk why they used this image lol. I believe this is the episode where he becomes a drunk and tries to convince everyone that they need to go back to the island
Where's that bottom image from? I can't place it, but if I was a betting man I'd say that's from the flash-forward in the finale of the penultimate season of LOST, when the doctor is back in the real world, popping pills and swigging Jack Daniels.
"But why?"
"Because we have to stretch the goddamned season from 12 to 24 goddamned episodes, that's why. We have to go back because we have to burn airtime meandering in pointless circles, that's why. That and Mystery Boxโข๏ธ!!!"
I used to know someone who drove one almost like this. It was a RAV4 though. He was a swole short stack with bouncy blond curls who was always laughing and flirting and the car fit his personality to a T.
It totally does... But I kind of want it anyway

It's literally a super light truck with giant tires lol.
lifts it with just two fingers
oh shit, it's true
If this were real, it might actually be a lot of fun, kinda reminds me of an obese Suzuki Samurai lol
Every time I saw one of those I wanted to put a penny in the back to make it do a wheelie.
#justoldpeoplethings
I've seen a couple people with those Smart Fortwos driving around with a big turn key sticking out the back as a joke.
The ones painted like the yellow and orange toy cars make me unreasonably happy.
Dumb car but funny idea.
I would unironically love to drive something like that. Yes, I see the many ridiculous things about it. Don't care!
Make a Kei car bro dozer
Haha, is that a tiny winch in there? I love it!
I don't know what that means, but I'm upvoting it because I feel like I should!

I had no idea what those were called, thank you! ๐
โญ๐The More You Know
You wouldn't. It will be quite gutless, even if re-geared, and the steering incredibly washy. Slight uphill will be your nemesis.
Good point, I was imagining a fairly idealized version of it I suppose.
I mean, it appears to have a respectable amount of engine bay... Maybe a supercharged 6 or LS could squeeze in there and it'd be fine. Still thirsty, but fine.
Bet that would be fun to take off road. The dimensions are similar to a jeep.
it would be way more work to swap frames
I imagine that more trucks would look like this if they were actually used the way certain people claim.
You mean, as an emotional support vehicle?
It actually looks kinda cool...
Yeah, its like someone tried to convert a Toyota pickup into a 2-door jeep.
I'm actually really down with this concept.

Man, I want to learn how to make cars like that with a welding torch and a good set of tools.

If you stick a penny in the back will it do a wheelie, too?
Glad to know Iโm not the only old-ass person here who thinks the same thing.
Penny Racers were the shit.
I still have the one I got in probably '82/83. Black semi tractor with a rotating spoiler instead of a trailer and that's where you could clip a penny to make it do tricks.That thing got a lifetime of use and abuse and it still works great.
I always thought they were adorable. They did a great job making recognizable vehicles all dinky.
All of the poor front visibility with none of the "I actually need a truck" use cases
A roof rack and straps. For those rare occasions. For all other times youre just burning fuel to haul around tons of unnecessary weight and endanger pedestrians more.
It looks like you drive it remotely.
That would actually be pretty sick. I want to sit on the side of a helicopter and drive this
It looks great! Don't know why that ahole is making that face.

Amen
Nice body shaming there. Real small tit energy.
You are a well known right-wing Trumper nut job around here, your opinion on what is and is not toxic is utterly worthless. Especially on toxic masculinity.
Whoooosh
Try reading it again you poor illiterate fool
He's lost
Itโs not a look of disgust. Itโs the face of desire, of yearning.
That's Jack from Lost. Totally not related to the meme, idk why they used this image lol. I believe this is the episode where he becomes a drunk and tries to convince everyone that they need to go back to the island
You say that like it's a bad thing
What? It seems pratical.
In what universe would that be?
Anybody who liked toy trucks would love that weird thing in the op.
Did any of you had the HotWheels ones that had magnets and could climb the door of your fridge?
Nah but my step-dad had a belt that made the Indiana Jones whip noise.
Darda cars!
No, but I remember having Stompers. Ki da similar.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK
"But why?"
"Because we have to stretch the goddamned season from 12 to 24 goddamned episodes, that's why. We have to go back because we have to burn airtime meandering in pointless circles, that's why. That and Mystery Boxโข๏ธ!!!"
TinEye says it's from "Lost".
It's a taquito.
I used to know someone who drove one almost like this. It was a RAV4 though. He was a swole short stack with bouncy blond curls who was always laughing and flirting and the car fit his personality to a T.
Yeah but look at it goโฆ almost in a straight line
If you want a straight line, you have to put a single penny in the bed of the truck. The weight is enough to cause it to pop a wheelie!
Itโs kinda cute. I wouldnโt buy it, but Iโd happily borrow it.
I believe all this is happening for a reason, Jack.
Egh. Are we going to start posting every Facebook car meme here now?
No, only Reddit is allowed to be funny enough to repost, despite this entire ecosystem existing in spite of it.
Somebody mount a bed on a baja buggy?
