This is why used cars scare me...never know what boneheaded thing someone did to it!

I love the tools sitting out in the open....

The 4X4 makes it.

Good lord. A full size 1/2 ton truck with a V-8 would be bogging down on mountain passes with that big of an old 5th wheel. Lets not even discuss the breaking situation coming down the other side. THAT is scary. In CO, if you had that kinda setup going 15 mph up a mountain pass (doubt it would even do 15 up an 8% grade) with a mile long train of p-oed people held up behind you, you'd get your ---- kicked in no time!

I'm freakin stunned how retarded some people are. Bet the entire back of the S-10 got ripped off somewhere down the road!

I'm speechless!

The more I look at this, it is something my father-in-law would try.

I was thinking about calling my step dad to see if he has ever done it.

I'm sure that we've all had (or know someone who has) engaged in some adaptive form of failure analysis at some time in our past. This is surely one of the more daring "let's see if we can.." type things I've ever seen.

Then again, you need to see some of the spacers that I've seem on some homegrown monster trucks. Just because you're hot with a torch ..doesn't mean that someone should allow you to play with matches.

I've got to think that this is an internet joke. No one can be this retarded. If it is real, the fine for attempting to put a POS like this on the road should be 5 figures.

I love the dinky chain he added, "just in case".

There was a guy on one of the Ranger forums that was towing around a 6000lb. backhoe and was wondering why he was having tranny problems.

Awwww c'mon guys, don't be too hard on him. I'm sure if he just uses a good synthetic oil (and tranny fluid), everything will be just fine.

He probably is using synthetic lubes.

He already has a synthetic chain supporting this rig.

I don't really worry about this kinda stuff when I see it...just like the guy using the comapact to tow the trailer, one good hill, and his tranny and/or engine are done for....it'll take care of itself!

Hey I resemble that remark!

 

[HardbodyLoyalist]

No problem. As long as he eats a Power Bar before he leaves and doesn't forget to add some Slick 50 to his crankcase, he'll be fine.

 

[wsm41bn]

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chas3]

give the engine a little gas and watch the front wheels leave the ground.

I think that Blazer/Jimmy trying to haul that trailer would look something like this:
