At some point.. You can have too big of tires.. It isn't an off road vehicle at that point. Little flex, I'm sure a terrible turning radius.

Now don't get me wrong, it's badass, but I think it may just be a mall crawler.. Maybe a desert runner?

mall crawler would've been my guess.... It was built by some off-road shop in like arizona

I could see it makin a killer mud-truck though :D

Yeah flexing of any kind is really limited. The COG is so high at this point I wouldnt be caught in that thing on an actual trail. You get into the 40's range with tires that big you can do almost any thing with that size tire, but 54's thats meant for mud at this point and only flat ground.

The pics didnt work for me but the tire thing is bs ive seen 54" boggers work quite well offroad.... Plus 47s/49s/46 all the same. Guys dont show up to Top Truck Challenge on 33"s.

It's the flex that makes this a mall crawler. I believe there is a reason for that big of tires, but when you actually see this.. You will agree

You have to see the video before saying that this would do well at any thing other then a large mud hole or driving over a car straight on I'd like to see him take it at an angle with the current set up he is running.

Ok Ive seen the videos and it looks terrible but itsnot nearly as bad as you guys are making it out to be. It looks to have enough suspension flex to do most trails plus you addin the fact that when you air down a 54 your going to gain alot of tire flex as well.

One thing I dont get though is the crossover steering..... there is no way, even with cruising the baby trails, that the drag link wont bend.
