Mr. Jones Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 My exact thought. You'd drive it if it looked like this: http://www.letsgodigital.org/images/artikelen/64/ipod-touch.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 You'd drive it if it looked like this: http://www.letsgodigital.org/images/artikelen/64/ipod-touch.jpg Put it in my pocket and surf the internetz/text/play games/make calls on it... yes. But it has no seats or wheels or driveline, so i can't drive it. Why don't you just go get the iPhone you so badly want already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonneVille Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Info on that thing: The guy made the fenders, including the outer flare with high-gauge mild steel, so they're ungodly heavy, but would crumple like tin foil the instant they touch a rock, and the grille is made entirely from 1/4 mild steel and probably weighs 80lbs on it's own. He got the wide stance by welding steel pipe to the hubs as an axle extension. If he hit a pothole with it, the entire truck would fold up like the house in Poltergeist, then catch on fire.

zeitgeist57 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Wow, that diesel can tow a massive 2600lbs max. Article's got it wrong...it can haul 1.3tons in the bed. 2,765lbs, according to the website. Not sure how much it can tow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be using that "new math." 1 US Ton = 2000lbs. 1.3 tons = 2600lbs. Grade school math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, who said they are not using the "metric tonne" which is around 2200lbs. Seeing as none currently exist in the US.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not critiquing your math skills, Susan! Just differentiating between hauling (in the bed) and towing (with a hitch mounted to the bumper or frame).
