I wonder why the hood is open, maybe they put the dead deer in there to take it home. There sure ain't a motor in there.

Hahahahaha!! This thread is awesome.

3ft of lift, because when rednecks come into money, the results are always special.

Theres a Bronco around where I live with 3 feet of lift so why wouldn't a Jeep be able to? He has huge tractor tires on his and everything, drives it on the road and in the mud. I'm 6' 1" and can walk under the son of a gun. Hey, you'll never need a ladder to clean your gutters now either! But yea man, just be careful going up rocks. It'd be super top heavy and would tip way easy. Like I said, if you got the smarts and money, then go for it. Just stay safe out there!
Not on the road. You would have almost 0 traction.

youve seen the one im talking about or are you talkin about a different one? a lot of people just change to coils, like that dodge and they just take those things to the limit.

Umm...wow. That's all i have to say about this thread.

OT (although basically this entire thread has been), but funny you say that, because just a few days ago i was watching some show about people winning the lottery. Some family in Florida won 15 million dollars. Instead of building a new house, they just added on to their mobile home. They've got a huge yard, full of broken down cars, old quads, and useless crap. But, she drives a bright yellow Lamborghini! $150k car, and they show her at the drive thru of KFC i was like WTF?

Money doesn't buy intelligence, nor does it buy happiness.

I'm not promoting this KFC eating, lambo driving Florida resident, but maybe they know a big nice house won't make them happy?

On the other hand, eating KFC shouldn't make anyone happy.

I'm not saying a big nice house would make them happy. All i'm saying is if i lived in a mobile home, and won 15 million dollars, the first thing i'd do is build a house. One with a foundation. Not massive, just a simple house. Although i'd have a huge garage/ shop, but that's different. They showed the inside of the Lambo, and it was disgusting. She drives it down her dirt road everyday. Makes no sense to me at all.

What Dodge? That's a Chevy in the pic and it has leaves not coils and a school bus in the background.
