nice always wanted a 1 wheel drive manco 2 seater .. so cool nothing but real basic stuff . the dingos were super cool and i liked them alot when i was young but now that im older the less to go wrong the more i like it

I never thought I would see one of those again. I remember sitting in a Dingo when I was very young, 6-9 wishing I could have that go cart someday. We never had a lot of money so it was always just a wish but that was by far the coolest one at the shop. My mother used to take me just to look at dirt bikes and go carts when I was little cause that's all I talked about and all I wanted.

I was always a sucker for those old dodges. That thing looks great.

this thing is nuts. i have a friend that uses a mobility scooter and i found this when i was looking for a scooter for him..

Now that looks like fun. Wonder what kind of motor they put in there? Chainsaw? Lawn mower????
Curious.

suburban

nice suburban

Kinda reminds me of when bigfoot put similar tires on that tire. I get a kick out of the graffiti on the tires and side of the truck. lol!
Its pretty neat.

the most odd thing you can do with a road bike?? Martyn Ashton takes the £10k carbon road bike used by Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins & Mark Cavendish for a ride. With a plan to push the limits of road biking as far as his lycra legs would dare, Martyn looked to get his ultimate ride out of the awesome Pinarello Dogma 2. This bike won the 2012 Tour de France

I always wanted one of those as a kid. I loved the arrow graphic, and the thought of having a passenger was just too cool. Instead my father and I built a single seater kart that I had a ton of fun with. I might even have some video of it on the old 8mm tapes I've kept.

Why in the world would you let something like that sit?!

Found some info on it, and it's historically significant which makes it even more of a travesty.

thanks lowgear for the link.. after reading link i was shocked!!!!!! super foot has a mod i was thinking of doing for years.. double frame truck!!! this gives you a body lift the thickness of the frame without the body lift problems. anyway nj laws are too crazy and i never found the time so i never did it.. nice to see things you thought of could work..

Lifting trucks by stacking two frames together has been around since people started lifting trucks. I even randomly saw one at a condo complex back in I'd say the early to mid 90's.

hmmm i didnt know that .. nj didnt have stuff like that .. the big thing around here was 87 or older chevy trucks or ford f350 with a 4,6,8,10,or 12 inch lift and maybe a body lift.. the real crazys did jeeps with fill size axles under leafs and 350 chevy motors. or the 87 or older chevy short bed pickups or k5 blazers with 454s, 1 ton axles and steering box braces (so you didnt crack the frame by the steering box) its funny your name always reminds me of me and my dirt bike / atv set ups .. every bike/atv needs lower gears. going down on the countershaft sprocket is always a must for me (some times i go up teeth on rear sprockets too).

I summer vacationed in Wildwood for 20 years and I definitely remember seeing a lot of cool lifted trucks! During the late 90's I think it was, is when they started with the monster trucks on the boardwalk. The first one I saw was the War Wagon (http://monsterphoto.iwarp.com/war1wag.htm) which was really cool in person. They also had a ride truck at the time that was being driven by the driver of Liquidator. It was a slow night and he asked if I wanted to drive it but it was a manual, and I was only like 18 at the time and didn't know how to drive standard shift.. Bummer.

Big chevy fan spider, love those tires , for sure there bigger then my 35's

I am stunned that some one could ride a road bike like that! He has talent for sure!
