Good for running over kids. I love my relatively tiney, low off the ground car. This thing doesn't need to be so high at all, it's just made to look like an SUV. But it turns into a SUCC

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

I dunno, I feel like between the shortened body and larger wheels, the height is a bit of an illusion. Just eyeballing it, I don't think this thing is very tall, perhaps just slightly taller than stock. My point being, this thing probably sits lower than most modern crossovers. Here's a stock taco for reference, notice that there's not so much lift to fit the oversized wheels as much as they just enlarged and deapened the wheelwells:

This looks like the truck equivalent of a really short guy with huge muscles and a perpetual scowl, who always keeps his shoulders directly above his knees and his hands in karate-chop pose while he walks.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 days ago

You know, it absolutely does. It does look like him..

[–] mattbnr@lemm.ee 17 points 6 days ago

I don’t hate it….in fact I kinda like it

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Steal a manhole cover, paint it to look like a penny.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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...

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And I'm so happy we got rid of them.

You sound like someone who hasn't seen the glorious ATF violation know as penny coin shot.

Two patents exist for quarter-shooting pistols designed for shooting coins at toll booth baskets from 1965 and 1988. Source: wikipedia.

This is the world AnCap libertarians want.

Oh no I was referring to cutting pennies into halves and quarters, then putting them into 12 gauge shells.

It is!
Like, this is what baby trucks look like before they grow up :)

This is unironically awesome. Needs a bigger lift to give room for suspension travel though

[–] kruhmaster@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 days ago (4 children)

That thing has to turn weirdly.

[–] logos@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

Looks like if you accelerate too quickly it will do a backflip.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Probably turns on a dime and crawl and fit around hazards offroad like a champ

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 points 6 days ago

As in quickly, and with style?

I can only imagine the complaining of those tires as you try to turn. And heaven help you if you installed some kind of limited-slip differential.

[–] Woht24@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days 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.

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

World's biggest RC car.

I'd end up pulling it too far back and it would snap.

Put a tire on the back (like a penny) for wheelies!

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

Look at the DUMPY on that thing

Truck equivalents of the Airbus A318 babybus aren't real, they can't hurt you

He’s just popped out to retrieve the wives from Furiosa.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 4 points 6 days ago

Mileage... 3 Mpg...yes

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Say what you will. Make the wheels smaller and you have a pretty useful tuck if you're in the city.

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 3 points 6 days ago

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.

[–] molten@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

How do I get one?

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

A stump truck
