As I have stated before on other posts I admire all the work and detail............but what's the point? I mean I guess it is an awsome mall cruiser but I just like rigs built for purpose not just looks, that is a lot of time and money spent just so everyone will look at you while you drive down the road.......this is only my opinion if you like this rig I can understand just not for me.

You mean you wouldn't go muding that? Just think how deep you would have to get before you could no longer open the door.

If you read the article you will see that this guy does use his truck. To me it is a testament to the fact that if you take your time, stay focused, and dedicate your resources you can make your truck a masterpiece. I know many of use use our trucks as daily drives, well here is one that sets the bar pretty damn high.

That is what I meant by admire the work, the detail and time and energy is VERY impressive but I don't see the function of it. He can afford to do it and wanted to do it and did it I totally repect that.

I also made sure that I said my "opinion" in my post because as we have had discussions before people's definition of masterpiece can be very different.

No I would not take a 2wd truck with that much extra weight, work and $$$ into a mud hole and I don't think the owner would either. However I am sure on the rocks those 16 chrome shocks would come in handy
