santa rosa people. you ever see that giant lifted dodge 3/4 ton?

i've seen it maybe 3 times. it shocks me everytime i do. it is black, and it looks like it is running big giant tractor tires. i cant even guess how tall the tires are, maybe 72"?!!! i dont know squat about axles, but it looks like it is running some sorta tractor or military axle. the thing is a beast..

my truck loses 4mpg just driving on the same block. i'm not sure i could climb in that thing.

 

i'll be ready with a camera next time. the thing is shocking.

 

Assuming a rockwell 2.5 ton axle

 

Yup. The guy is cool as hell also.

He opens the door and walks on the tire to get inside. I see him almost every morning on my side of town.

 

Yup.

I believe they're 52-56 inches tires.

 

that's it!!! wow.

 

I remember him being pulled over on 101 North in South Santa Rosa getting a ticket for no mud flaps.

Truck is enormous, he drives it pretty fast, too. Pretty sure he's a contractor.

 

Hah, I took that picture. Scared the shit outta me when the guy rolled past me.

 

I've seen those mudflaps somewhere before. He's a contractor, you say?....

 

But why?

 

I'll put this one up against that one. Edit: and this thing runs like a scalded bear. Edit, again: This Dude is working on something else (he's not talking) but I can hardly wait!

 

I talked to this guy once in the guernvile Safeway parking lot. Said he drove to LA to get the tires from some military surplus place for a little over 1k each.

 

wow.

i would need to be on Belay to get into either truck.

 

I just saw him towing a huge boat yesterday! I did a double take. Amazing looking.

 

How does one even get into that thing? Rope ladder?

 

Looking at the bumper on that blue one, nonfunctional so high, need a scraper below it for cars.

good lord, how the hell do you open the door on that thing. looks like the dude is tall enough to reach the floor of the cab.

 

I don't know, I never saw him open the door but I watched him lift himself right into the driver seat. I couldn't even begin to get in.... so no fat chicks and me
