Don't know what to say except that it looked even more ridiculous in person. Nice body work, but a serious rollover hazard, and mucho $$ in shocks with springs that are probably nearly immobile.

I would respectfully submit there's not a lot of logic involved with that particular rig. I can't see, is there even a front driveshaft?

Only thing illegal about it in Arizona is that he doesn't have any mudflaps on it.
Looks pretty cheesy to me though

Wow. I'd be embarrassed to even get a ride in that clown wagon. What a waste of classic retro sheetmetal.

Only trucks need the flaps, Blazers and Burbs are considered station wagons, not required.

Funny how everyone is bashing this truck when there are tons of guys on here rolling bigger rigs than that. Is it practical? Not at all, do I have to drive it? nope.
Nevermind the time and money spent on it, hell he may just be into big trucks with no intention but driving it 15mph down the local roads.

I've seen some trucks that tall that are used for driving through deep mud trenches at events and stuff. Not even sure if that's a competition thing or what, but that's what I thought of when I saw your photo.
Nice body on that thing!

Looks like s mud truck. But with a body that nice I wouldn't take it to a mud pit. It looks like probably for show only. Pure 80s styling.

Those aren't H1's. He's got Michelin or Goodyear HEMTT tires on HEMTT wheels on that thing.
Must have an adapter for the 8 by HUGE bolt pattern the HEMTT uses.
Hope he's got good brakes. That combo weighs 400ish pounds.
