  1. An off day? My phone decided to erase every contact, text, photo & app & go to factory setting. This day sucks!

    • My sympathy, Cathypop. I assume that it was a damn iPhone?
      Speaking of which, does anyone know how to remove or disable the ‘private’ service on an old iPhone 6? I use my mobile as a make-do tablet, because it’s all I have, trouble is if I accidentally bump a finger against the private icon while using the phone’s browser, it closes and wipes every page that is open.
      I assume that ‘private’ is for Cederq to look up fat les-be-friends porno, but I can well do without it, a real nuisance (as Cederq finds me).

  2. Don’t feel sorry for that retard at all.

    Jacking a 2wd truck with those stupid fat tires that make him think his truck is 10′ wide.

    • when I see something like that , my first thought is how fucking stupid ! now I did raise my 4runner 2 inches by upgrading the springs and shocks. and I went up one size in tires.
      but the ride and handling stayed the same.
      stupid shit like that makes as much sense as the big “rims” and tires
      do. used to work with a guy who went all big rims skinny tires
      and he asked me why the ride sucks. simple. the tire sidewall does a
      lot for handling and ride comfort. might look cool (?) but the ride is shit. and handling ? forget it over 40mph. but it looks “good”.
      stupid.

    • That is obviously 4wd if you look you can see the front pumpkin and shaft at 11 o clock of the rear differential. Still an idiot though.

  3. Hell, even when I broke my back, I wasn’t THAT off!…and I REALLY broke my back.
    I lived in So. Cal till 2015 and there was EVERY grade of lifted truck from properly raised enough to enhance off roading to shit trucks on stilts. There were regs on it, so the ridiculous stuff didn’t stay on the road long. You could pass cop contact and still have the most fucked up mechanical abortion imaginal.
    A buddy of mine runs Autofab in Santee (clantee) CA. Has been building the most awesome motorized machines since the late 70’s, on and off road.

  4. Is that a shock absorber that mister high-lift is dragging down the road? With a lean to the left like that, he’s probably a Biden voter, despite owning a pickup.

    • Cross brace holding the back axle straight. When it broke loose from the mount, the axle shifted to what you see in the picture.
      I wonder how far stretched the driveline is!

      • I couldn’t tell and am ignorant about the Chev’s rear end. It’s gonna be interesting if the front of the driveshaft lets go and tries to pole-vault when it digs into the bitumen.
        Make a good dashcam video, so long as nobody gets hurt.

        • I was in a friends Oldsmobile Cutlass riding around and at about 45 mph(72.4205 kph for you Johno), the U joint at the front of the drive shaft exploded and the drive shaft caught in a crack in the road and catapulted the car on it’s top. A wild ride let me tell ya!

  5. I have seen that happen. It is because they used a Skyjacker suspension lift (or one like it). It has hockey puck lifting blocks for the rear and the longer shocks, offset pitman arm and longer trailing arms to make up for the lift. He probably went over a RR crossing and caught some air where the landing was too much for the suspension. To do a lift properly cut all of the stock suspension out and put a 4 way in the rear and redesigned A arms up front and put air bags on it. Other than a leveling kit any lift kit is not a smart move on a truck.

  6. In the way back machine I recall a friend that bought 32 hockey pucks (8 per wheel) to use as shims to jack up this Blazer that he had. His end result was worse than this pic.

    • Hockey pucks?…. Now I never heard of that idiocy.
      I always like to stiffen the springs so it doesn’t tip in the corners. Holds more firewood, too.

  7. I have used a modified hockey puck as a temporary fix for a broken VW Rabbit motor mount after the Black Forest welding elves were off their game.
