It’s the Apocalypse.
No, really.

@davesaddiction I only approve if it's six-wheel-drive.
Weather update, cooler temperatures today, and the floor is no longer lava.

It’s stupid.

@davesaddiction It is stupid, but like Sam, I approve IF it's actually 6-wheel drive, even though it's stupid. We like plenty of stupid shit around here.

@davesaddiction This is crass consumerism, but it is cool, and also appears to more or less fit in that parking space, so I guess I'm ok with it. I have concerns about extreme wealth inequality, but that doesn't mean people should never be wealthy enough to buy stupid, silly, cool stuff like this if that's how they want to spend their money.
-
@davesaddiction Sometimes a 6x6 can be pulled off and look pretty good.
This is not one -
This is a lifestyle vehicle, and I approve of the lifestyle
-
@davesaddiction Well, that's one way to waste six figures, I suppose. Not a good way, but a way.

It takes something perfectly functional/capable and makes it less so.

@davesaddiction I know. I agree it's stupid. But I like it.

I’ll never understand, but okay.

@davesaddiction
There's a few 6x6 and 6x4 Ford Ranger conversions down here...Doing it to a Bronco seems... pointless?
Ours is not to reason why...merely to point and giggle.

Speak for yourself, everything I do and like is completely rational and tasteful.

Additional payload capacity is the only real reason for extra axles.

@davesaddiction Agreed. Unless done for load-carrying, these things are stupid. It's got the same energy as driving around in a stretched limo.

Maybe he’s got a 5th wheel hitch and a huge goose-neck he hauls with all… 400 hp he’s got.

@davesaddiction On one hand, lol, on the other, this boi had 120hp and was rated to tow 7,700lb:
Geared like a damn tractor though.

@davesaddiction they have a rabbid base of NFL players lined up
-
@davesaddiction
Which is the typical reason why it's done down here.Be worth trying on a Gladiator to make sure it can carry more than five people and their picnic lunch but doing it to a Bronco is just...trolling.
-
@davesaddiction I like it better than the regular 4 door Bronco.
-
@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly for soft sand? outside of heavy loads, i would figure the rest would be more things to go wrong.
gladiator is 1080-1200
Ranger 1270-1560
taco 1050-1685
calorado 1270-1550
ridgeline 1500
is it typical to go offroading with a max load? -
@davesaddiction Based on the fact that in multiple pictures there's a jeep with a "soflojeeps.com" banner across the top of the windshield, I'm guessing it's the same company that did my CEO's Jeep.
Pic taken last spring. Reasonably certain this Jeep is rocking a turbodiesel instead of a gas engine.Not that it's tasteful or even good looking...just that it exists. And I'd like to drive it once.
Edit: If it is the same company, then it's true 6-wheel drive.
