I'll just leave this here and let it get picked apart. I'll leave you with one question. How on earth did they get a 46" tire up on the roof? :eek:

Wow, need a crane to get that tire off and on again. I have to use a lifting strap and a come-along to pull my 42" spare into the back of my blazer.
 
I do like the matching big drip pans underneath it though, lol.
 
The dually spacers are nice for changing brake pads up front without removing the tire - especially because your jack may not be tall enough to do it. Which is why getting the spare down may be a moot point. Can you even mount it by yourself? I don't know what a 46" Michelin weighs, but I've probably had that much weight on my hardtop before. I climb around on my roofrack while it's loaded with gear and never had a problem. My mounts are in strong points near the front and back, though, while that short rack would be weaker. Hard to believe he needs a swaybar with those springs, but it looks like a custom one? There's a lot of angle in that CV joint - wonder if there are seals on the ball. Unless he has super deep gears, it will never spin very fast, though. As usual, it's a monster 2WD.
 
where to start with this death trap....A website called bangshift is raving about it..thats a big clue...stock brakes with rear drums..I'm sure its stops on a dime. smart idea to pre bend the drag link..that way you know exactly where its going to bend when you try and turn it. They say any advertising is good advertising..Tom's probably chanting that to himself
