OMG that truck is just wrong. I don't understand why people lift trucks that high, it's dangerous and I find it hard to believe that it's legal. You can't use it offroad, it would probably break in the first 5 minutes....

It's a show truck. I'd be it never sees anything other than pavement. With that being said, I agree with Tamago: I'm sure the driveline angles are all messed up.

Here's what I drove home one day.




One of my fav FJs (that's me driving, too!)

I'm 5'7", so not super tall, but that's a huge truck. It's mostly used for towing and shows. It was on an airbag suspension system; not sure what they've done with it lately. I drove it through the sand dunes along the Oregon coast, and then about 300+ miles of highway.

LOL—I was the Public Relations Manager until November, so it was part of my job. WARN is now one of my clients, as I have my own writing/PR business. You can see my current Web site at www.LilienthalCreative.com <---shameless plug.
