Nope. I have actually seen that truck on the freeway too. He was pulled over on I-82 between Gresham and Portland getting a safety inspection from a Oregon state trooper.

it is Useless. I hate mall crawlers. Trucks with big lifts, and big tires that will never get used. Those stock axles would never handle the torque for those big 52" michilans tires. i dont like it unless it can be used.

put some 2 1/2 ton rockwell axles under that and do away with the gay mudflaps, cause its already so illegal for the highway those mudflaps are not gonna get him any brownie points from troopers. And I agree with ditching the flaming graphics. Then it would be badazz and functional

I really dont see anything on this truck illegal...yeah the flames are kinda ugly and i hate roll-bars but other than that the truck looks pretty good...yes it might be impratical to use as a worked truck but as a driver it would be fine..them axles would turn them tires easy on the road..we have a bunch of trucks around here with close to that much lift

tires stick out to far past fenders, frame height , bumper height, headlight height, just to name a few. Maybe not in KY but in TN trust me, the troopers will gladly pull you over on this. One of my friends got pulled over last week for those violations, well actually the trooper pulled him over and told him what all laws he was breaking but since he liked the truck he was gonna let him go this time. And being the smartazz my buddy is he said next time he would just have to take the ticket because he had to much invested in the truck to make it "legal"

those "stock" axles and drive terrain could probably fry those tires
i bet he has at least 4:56 gears in that thingif not even into the fives i sall a truck with a 350 engine smoke some brand new 49'' iroks at a jamboree about a year ago and it had 3/4 ton axles
no flaming inteded by this i was just saying that i have seen a "stk"axle abused so bad turning big tires and if you have them built right they will last a long time if not for the life of the truck
pffff, no it's gay...jk jk! pretty cool but the flames have to go!

do you have any ****ing clue what you are talking about? Chevy 10 bolts are one of the weakest axles out there... ive seen several DESTROYED by 33" all terrains much less 52" Michellins... that truck is NOT built right by any matter... no matter how cool it looks... gears do not help the strength of the axle, in fact an extremely low gear like is probably needed judging by the fact i bet it has a stock 350 in it will make it even weaker... The rear axle appears to be a 14B semi floater which is much stronger then a 10 bolt, but still no where near a 14B Full floater... im guessing im the only one who has noticed the rediculous pinion angle in the rear, and NO front driveshaft... that truck is built to look good and is by no means built to handle the tires, or even be safe to drive...

yea i noticed that air hose going down there right afte i posted it... it MIGHT be for a differential breather though so i dont know... if not whoever built that is dumber then i throught... a locker will do a ton of good without a driveshaft lol...
*wow... what happened did u delete ur post?

plus the fact that one of those michelins way as much as 3 49" swampers

Ive lifted plenty of trucks. First off as stated the pinion angles are way off. That truck will have bad u joint wear and horrible axle rap. The axles would snap for sure if put to use. I wouldnt run ANYTHING under a dana 60 up front. That pretty hose isnt for an airlocker its a nice replacent for a too short breather hose. Its a pretty truck.:rolleyes:

I don't know about you guys, but I don't think those are 10 bolts. He's right when he says they're larger. Look at the covers/pumpkins again.
And, the reason alot of GM 10 bolts screw up easy is due to the Gov-Lock, a sort of limited slip/locker. Depending on what the axle is in, you may have one or you may not. During a high speed ramp on the locker(punching it), the locker may fragment sending everyhing into your gears. The axle itself is pretty solid.
I like the truck, too bad they made it impractical. It would be sweet if they did it the right way, but the way it sits it's for show only. :ermm:

the front IS a GM 10 bolt and yes i knew why they grenade... the rear appears to be a semi floater GM 14B... the reason im saying semi floater is because the hubs do not stick out like the full floater hubs because if it was a full floater there is no possible way those centercaps would work... its a standard 1/2 ton front 3/4 ton rear someone put together to look good...

goin by the size comparison with the steering stabilizers being the same size as the axle tubing and judging by how the pumpkin compares to the 20" or 22" wheels im gonna say 10 bolt but im not positive...

^Michellins with the same size wheel, or close enough and a HD D44... see how much larger the pumpkin looks in comparison... i could be wrong but im still saying 10 bolt...

easy bro actually i do know what i`m talkin about i have owned 4 trucks all having lifts 2 were 1/2 tons a 3/4 ton and 1 one ton
i abused the heck out of every 1/2 ton i`ve ever owned the one had 38" tires and i only broke a stub shaft in the front due to bad maintainance, that guys truck has probably never seen offroad

Just looking at it those axles look like twigs ready to be snaped in two! The flames look horrible. But the rest of the truck looks good other than the joke mudflaps.

I doubt it, but I would guess if the Trooper was measuring the height, it would be pretty obvious. :rolleyes:

That was my clue alright. But I guess I could be wrong, maybe the guy pulled up to the cop and casually asked him to measure his bumpers for him, or maybe they know each other, and they were just setteling a bet right there on the side of the freeway.:ermm:

10 bolt = dana 44, almost the same exact axle, they are still both 1/2 ton axles. the only thing that makes them 3/4 ton is the outer hubs.
