That little white flatbed prerunner I posted the other day is parked next to this.

I guess somebody just has a thing for impractical flat beds?

I'm into it.

 

I don't think you could put enough payload on that to justify the axle or duals, but I'd like to try.

 

something something yo mama joke here hurhur

 

You could collab with Tyler and pickup one of those big ass marine diesel engines that has dumpster sized cylinders

 

Looks like 3-5 inches of snow here tomorrow. Unfortunately I didn’t do an undercoating as we usually only get 2-3 storms a winter, so I’ll probably park my truck until the storms clear. It is tempting to test out the K02s in the snow however.

 

Does Arkansas even salt? Only a couple storms a year, places like that don't usually have any road prep or treatment

 

I think they put down a liquid Mag chloride solution. I have seen a few salt trucks out too in the few big storms we’ve had, but it’s nothing like back home in central/western NYS. There’s tons of salt mines up there and they apply it to the roads liberally, to say the least.

 

Tacomas can have a little Mag Chloride, as a treat

 

I’ve heard it doesn’t cause as much rust as road salt, but some claim it’s even worse so idk. Idk if it’s worth undercoating with wool wax for maybe 5-10 days of road salt a year. I’ll just wash it off with a pressure washer I guess.

 

My truck has surface rust in places from it, but honestly it isn't anywhere near as bad as going over a salted mountain pass where the stuff turns to gloppy brine.

 

yeah i just go to the coin wash and spray off the bottom of the truck whenever it's warm

This thing is uber sus, there's a budget Long Travel kit hiding in there...

 

Apparently there's also a Volkswagen hiding in there?

 

You could buy it, return it to stock, and probably make all your money back lol

 

The guy works for a dealer that's on a sketchy road in Spokane, I'm sure the vehicles are real and I bet he uploaded the pics wrong... I'm just wondering where this oddball runner came from. Things like this get passed from enthusiast to enthusiast not traded to a pot lot.

 

Man fuel pumps got weirdly spendy, new Aeromotive 340 for the Taco is $144 now. Used to be like $98 and free shipping.

 

Maybe it was totalled by insurance and bought from an auction?
