37" Tire Burnout

Well... . it is actually well beyond door high for most any other truck LOL..... this F350 has 26" of lift and 46" tall tires!

I remember going through water in my buddys old chevy gasser where it was coming up over the hood, and that was with a 6" lift.
 
I love the part: "and he shifted". Big deal, I can do that in mostly water with a little bit of mud on the bottom in my car with the water up to the doors.



If it wasn't mostly water, he would be stuck.



You got big tires on a truck that is 70/30 ballanced with no front drive train. Make the front tires powered, that would be impressive.



A 4 cylinder base model wrangler 4x4 can school that truck anyday. Just give it a snorkle, and the driver a snorkle and it could run though that pond as well. :)

Yep. Look closely at the pic. ROFLMFAO. There is what looks like a Dshaft until you look really closely and realize its actually a brace for his trac-bar mount. Took the time to powder coat the leafs so they absolutley will not flex because of the friction between them. Then took the time to add DUAL coilovers. Why run coils if you can't even get the leafs right? Sure looks nifty :rolleyes: . Just take it back to the world o wheels show and quit driving it on the street because I bet that thing has stock brakes to go with his stock steering gear and the Mensa candidate driving it does so at 80mph.



Without the front dshaft at least he won't have to bother upgrading the dana 50 front axle shafts to the dana 60 type. Thats a couple grand more he can put into adding more chromed springs. Those tires and axle shafts the same size as a Dana 44 shaft just don't last long.



And BTW, how do those B load range tires hold up under that truck? Aired all the way up they are still what, 1500lbs short of the weight of that truck?



If I am not mistaken it is also a short bed. So not only is it worthless as a 4x4, has tires unable to safely support their load, and 3 springs per wheel, you can't even get a sheet of plywood in the bed. Let alone 3 dirt bikes or a pair of quads.



Seriously though, it isn't even that big, my Jeep YJ (100 inch wheelbase) is on 42 in rubber, and it has fullwidth 35 spline dana 60 axles with detroits, and Tom Woods driveshafts rear AND front.



I could keep going. But I'll leave it at this: stupid duty.
 
Look at this video close. When the truck first hits the water and all 4 wheels are in, are they Carp jumping out of the water in front of the truck?

Yes it is! I said the same thing when looking at the truck. I saw the video and it sure looks like no 4wd.
 
...

you guys are such Buffoons, just like the guy in the truck! for One. . This truck DOES NOT HAVE A FRONT DRIVESHAFT IN THAT VIDEO! Two:You are fooling yourself if you guys think your CAR will make it through that pit, gimme a break! An explorer with 33'' boggers and snorkel got stuck in the massive mud underneath all that water within 4 feet of going in.

MarkMiller: Are you crazy? B-range tires in a 46'' size? uhm yeah! not-available :rolleyes: It's also a LONG BED!. . Mr. Vila :p Stick to Cummins/Diesels. . i think you are better qualified on Tdr. . :-laf
