      I just realized that I had to think for a while about what a penny looks like. God we banned them here in Canada so long ago…

    It’s absurd and hilarious and I love it.

    But is it just a stock Tacoma with big wheels or did they do more body mods to it? It looks way smaller than even older style trucks like the bed was shortened or something but that could just be an illusion due to the size of the wheels.

        I mean this is basically the chode of vehicles. It’s the accurate representation of what those lifted hibeam smokestack truck owners are actually like lol

        Edit: Those mfers are Tonka tough. Still going through life with the mind of a toddler.

          Nah this thing has purpose, unlike most ridculous obnoxious lifted trucks that are poor for both offroading and towing. This would almost definitely perform extremely well offroad and likely was made just to be an offroader. It might not be your hobby or taste, and that’s fine, but someone has created a really cool and special vehicle here

            Okay, yeah you have me converted. I’m definitely not a vehicle elitist and am all for purpose lol my initial reaction was how to like it is from the post and how those types of people continually infantile themselves to their own detriment.

            Yep - pulled up next to a Small-Penis-Mobile the other day, new Ford extra cab, super duty diesel, with that stupid Roosh package no less, so we know he paid a LOT extra. And it was black, shiny and clean, even the tires. Fucking garage queen for a twat.

            Lifted, stupid tires, some stupid gizmo in the receiver.

            I bet I’ve towed more with my 20-year-old “toy truck” than that douchebag ever will. Oh, and he was on speakerphone holding the phone up with his right hand, going 5mph under the limit, holding up traffic.

            I probably get better fuel economy with 250k on the odometer, and I don’t spew out the crap he does.

            Asshat.

            Eh it doesn’t look like a purpose-built offroader to me. I mean you could do a lot worse offroad than with this thing, but there’s a few reasons that make it pretty obvious that this was just made for the fun aesthetic: 1 It doesn’t have very much room for suspension to travel at all, compromising high-speed desert and dune riding. 2. Due to reason 1, it’s articulation is likely very poor, compromising it’s technical trail riding abilities. Maybe it could hold it’s own when mudding? But then again, those aren’t quite the best wheels and tires for the job and I see no snorkel either, so I doubt that it does. So yeah I’m almost certain that they chopped it up not with the intention to make a solid off-road vehicle but because “lol wouldn’t it be hilarious?” Don’t look for logic in or underestimate the enginuity of a bored, slightly buzzed dude with a welder.

              Its most likely a little of both. Definitely agree about the suspension travel, its like the first thing I noticed. Sacrificing the most ideal offroading design for the silliness of the build does not make it not purpose-built, and it also is not the same category as your average lifted grocery getter with massive rims and paper thin tires

    Lil, I was just wondering today if something like this existed. A truck with the small two-seat cab and a bed that matches today’s truck aspect ratios.

    Fun fact, if you take the pullback wheel thing out of a toy car, wind it up and let it go, it jumps around all over the place. When I was a kid in the 80s we called them “crazy wheels.”

    I’ll bet this little stub truck does the same thing lol
