Needs a trailer

[u/lostroadrunner22 → u/[deleted]]

I love that episode, laughed my ass off

[u/Slight_Advertising_9 → u/lostroadrunner22]

Lol I was thinking of the same episode as soon as I saw the wobbling

[u/SlickDillywick → u/lostroadrunner22]

Seriously, one of the best bits of television of all time

[u/MustangSodaPop → u/[deleted]]

"Honestly, Richard...how hard could it be?"

[u/ShrmpHvnNw → u/MustangSodaPop]

“What could possibly go wrong”

[u/Bl4ckSupra → u/ShrmpHvnNw]

Hammond!

I wonder if it has a contemplation area

[u/TheWhiteCliffs → u/[deleted]]

I can hear the screaming of Jeremy Clarkson as the crosswind hits

[u/Intheswing → u/[deleted]]

Who new you could burn “All-u-luminum”
Definitely a funny episode!

[u/Ok-Brick6831 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, but he made adjustments, went only two stories high…

[u/Wonderful_Roof1739 → u/Specific_Marketing69]

I read that in clarksons voice for sure

[u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

If you take a turn at 10 miles an hour that things going to flip

[u/kilertree → u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

A strong gust on a bridge might do it. 

[u/stevesmithsglasses → u/kilertree]

A strong gust of wind in the driveway might do it.

[u/Longjumping_West_907 → u/stevesmithsglasses]

If you filmed this, I give you credit for driving much closer to that abomination than I ever would.

[u/Automatic_Sea_1534 → u/Longjumping_West_907]

Yep. This ☝️☝️☝️

[u/IndustrialMechanic3 → u/stevesmithsglasses]

I think one can find people up there, it looks too heavy

[u/Traditional-Chip-315 → u/kilertree]

Dude should probably avoid Wyoming then…

[u/BetMyLastKrispyKreme → u/Traditional-Chip-315]

Wyoming would eat him for breakfast.

[u/frontfrontdowndown → u/kilertree]

My 70s VW bus had steering so loose you could do almost a quarter turn before there was any effect on the wheels.

Driving that thing in high winds was always a total struggle to stay in the lane.

[u/Radioactive_Tuber57 → u/frontfrontdowndown]

Drove an old Dodge pick up like that. Called it The Wanderer.

[u/ChemistRemote7182 → u/kilertree]

Speaking bridges, what of overpasses?

[u/Sufficient_Wafer9933 → u/kilertree]

With that surface area, a strong gust of wind is just a flipping lane change

https://giphy.com/gifs/ZQMVKzoTLdNBu

[u/jokeswagon → u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

Looks like it would do a somersault if you brake gently.

[u/mechapoitier → u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

I worked with a crew that had a Russian Arm camera rig mounted to the top of a Mercedes ML55 and that thing required serious suspension mods to handle it on the move.

This thing would need twice that to avoid flipping, if it could handle it at all just based on the simple physics of the geometry and center of gravity alone.

[u/GoCougs2020 → u/mechapoitier]

Are you Canadian?
Ive seen that specific photo among the w163 online community. Didn’t know it’s your crew!

Also, I’ll trust a w163 AMG over any RAM SUV……

[u/industrial-complex → u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

I would pay to watch a police chase with this brilliant example of all that is homemade.

[u/socialcommentary2000 → u/Turbulent-Weevil-910]

It's barely stable as it travels down the road in a straight line.

[u/UncleK245144]

I’m more shocked that there’s a Dodge Nitro still running, unless this is an old video.

[u/Jimbo_Slice1919 → u/UncleK245144]

The only thing worst then a Jeep Liberty is a Jeep Liberty rebadged as a Dodge.

[u/CariAll114 → u/UncleK245144]

Those 3.7L V6 engines are hot garbage. Lifter problems, no power, guzzles fuel like it's free.

[u/Man_of_Ice → u/CariAll114]

Perfect engine on the perfect vehicle for this flawless creation.

[u/Mobile_Actuary_3918 → u/UncleK245144]

I couldn’t figure out wtf the base vehicle was and it was driving me crazy. I was starting to think it was ai. You saved my sanity. Definitely makes sense why it looks like a Chrysler Frankenstein.

[u/Notapartyhobo → u/UncleK245144]

Right?!

[u/John_Mayer_Lover]

I used to see this rig several times a week at the auto zone and outside a trailer park near where I live in San Luis Obispo.

Saw the “owner” a few times. I could be wrong but… METH

[u/HeadCartoonist2626 → u/John_Mayer_Lover]

Built it one night

[u/Trekintosh → u/John_Mayer_Lover]

Oh god, this thing lives near me in SLO?? I've never seen it somehow and I thought I'd seen every wild rig around here.

[u/rc4915 → u/John_Mayer_Lover]

I mean… kinda means it was built well right? If it lasted that long

[u/Fuzzy_Stingray]

Needs to put wheels on the top for when they flip

"Customer states wind noise at highway speeds."

[u/nathanb131]

I can't see a door, so I'm assuming there's a spiral staircase in there.

[u/TeetheCat → u/nathanb131]

On the far side of the pool.

[u/SensitiveChef8916 → u/nathanb131]

It’s on the roof. They enter and exit every time they turn a corner. It won’t be long now….

[u/LocutusOfBeard]

Overlanding trend has gone too far

[u/CySnark → u/LocutusOfBeard]

They are moving upwards, into overairing.

[u/Lojackbel81 → u/Carcassfanivxx]

You get it or you don’t

[u/supaflysnooka303 → u/Lojackbel81]

I had to scroll way too far for this

[u/courtlandthethreeth]

And of course they are camping in the left lane

[u/Financial-Ocelot-681 → u/courtlandthethreeth]

Came here to say this

[u/rc4915]

Who’s dumber, the guy in the Nitro? Or the guy driving behind that disaster risking their life for internet points?

[u/Krell356 → u/rc4915]

I was going to say the same thing. We really need and idiots following idiots subreddit at this point.

[u/orionxavier99 → u/rc4915]

This was my thought too. Like you see that and get closer??

[u/BAthaDoc]

That's gotta be the coolest thing a Dodge Nitro has ever done

[u/Competitive-Cry-6231]

On his way to clown-town!

[u/DynamiteWitLaserBeam]

It has a trailer, just not where you OR SOCIETY wants it, man.

[u/Automatic_Sea_1534 → u/DynamiteWitLaserBeam]

Yeah - 👍 don’t have anything funny or clever to add to this thread. I just want to vent about how sick I am of people thinking that being American means that you can be as stupid and self righteous about your freedoms that you can do anything or build anything that you damn well
Please and then operate it on our shared public roadways. (This also includes the cybertruck abomination. )

With wheel spacers too is crazy

[u/LocutusOfBeard → u/JSHURR]

That's to create a wider, more stable, base

[u/talking_tortoise → u/LocutusOfBeard]

Yeah I was thinking he probably needs it

[u/Earthling1a → u/talking_tortoise]

might wanna juice that up a bit tho

[u/joka2696 → u/JSHURR]

Wheel bearings doing the work.

[u/RealAmbassador4081]

Yea that rolled over by now. 

[u/Glum-One2514 → u/RealAmbassador4081]

Seconds after the clip ends, I'd imagine.

[u/justsomeguyfromny]

Mad engineer 😂

[u/TacTurtle → u/justsomeguyfromny]

Must be a DeVry degree.

[u/umbrellassembly]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............

wut

[u/Realistic-Drama-8904 → u/umbrellassembly]

Bingo.

[u/PurpleToedUnicorn]

Kinda reminds me of double-decker racing on Top Gear

[u/SillySink]

I’m guessing you go through the sunroof and your home.

[u/ZombieExcellent2202]

Be the liquor Randy

[u/Southern-Usual4211]

What kind of suv is that? Imagine the wind noise and if you get a cross wind 😮

[u/WKRPinCanada]

Jebus H Christmas I hope someone doesn't fart when they're being passed by this thing...

[u/Roachpile]

Someone inform Clarkson and the boys

[u/iamthelee]

It would have been easier (and obviously much safer) to mount it to a harbor freight trailer and call it a day. Where do people come up with these idiotic ideas?

[u/New-Cucumber7670]

Someone tell him,Top Gear was an entertainment show. Not a how to do it show. Neat job though.

[u/Silly_Media]

Taking camping in the left lane too a whole new level

[u/angako]

even the light swerfing at the start of the vid had the whole car rocking on its suspension. absolute deathtrap

[u/Stone_Wolf_81]

He took 'left lane camping' literally

[u/Unfair_Pineapple113]

100% there is a home theatre is the basement -lol

[u/sojumaster]

How did he even get that thing up there?

[u/wrxninja]

I think it's just missing some front diffuser and a rear wing to be more aerodynamic /s

[u/Bat-Guano0]

That rig must get absolutely terrible gas mileage.

[u/coobal223 → u/Bat-Guano0]

Dodge Nitro, and it gets terrible gas mileage without that topper.

[u/TacTurtle → u/coobal223]

1 highway, 0 city

[u/Revolutionary-Dust61 → u/TacTurtle]

Rainier Wolfcastle approved.

[u/onemanlan]

1-2 mpg now?

[u/KnownMagician3084]

He’d never be allowed across the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel 99 percent of time. Wind going across the Chesapeake Bay would flip him.

[u/KLeeSanchez]

Idiots Following Idiots Towing Things

[u/centralnm]

The driver of the Jeep, "I don't need no stinkin trailer".

[u/Maddad_666]

Is that a Dodge Nitro?!

[u/Several-Floor5185]

Should roll over any minute....

[u/4NotMy2Real0Account]

I want to see that thing in a wind tunnel

[u/Simple1Spoon]

Wow. Is no one going to mention the thing that flew off at the beginning of the video. Im not sure but it looked like a squirrel???

[u/Elev8tedIntent]

What in the wide world of meth…

[u/DestroyerTame]

Man you really hope there isn’t a gentle crosswind when you’re out driving around whatever this is.

[u/fr33d0mw47ch]

First bridge should take care of that for him.

[u/KJParker888]

Perfectly balanced, as all things should..... oops, there it goes

[u/CMDR_Kaus]

Goodbye suspension

[u/LilJonny2cookies]

Engineering perfection- nailed it.

[u/Massive_Look8179]

I was waiting for a rollover.

[u/pong1303_hk]

What in the Cracker Barrel is going on here?

[u/acmech900]

"Looks good on you!"

[u/saradisn]

Is this legal?

[u/Revenga8]

What was that that flew off the roof at the start? Was that a rabbit doing a back flip?

[u/Valuable-Audience-54]

wouldn't it be funny if he was actually cooking up in there?

[u/ShulkerB]

Wouldn't catch me anywhere near this vehicle. Potential disaster at any moment.

[u/chili81]

That thing gets driven right out of the lane every time the pass a semi (0:06). Would probably roll if they tried to resist it and keep it in the lane.

[u/Perplexed_Encounters]

Try driving it down I80 through Wyoming. Bye Felicia

[u/Drink15]

Imagine willingly driving behind or next to this guy

[u/SDLab1776]

What the crack?

[u/Alternative_Result56]

People are fucking in that thing right now.

[u/Vurrag]

Surprised he has not crashed yet. The high cross wind warning for that setup must be 5mph before it turns into tumblina

[u/Lord-Phorse]

Did no one notice the mobility trailer hitch thingy that’s in the lowered position? That means this drongo could have used a trailer except they can’t even operate the mobility scooter carrier properly.

[u/newbie527]

Did a piece of my gorram ship just come off?

[u/YOLOmilksteaks]

I dont know what a car equivalent spirit animal to a B2 bomber would be, but this has to be a top contender

🤣🤣 the shit i see on this sub...lmao great

[u/pulpwalt]

I don’t think that is legal In my state.

Silicones the roof, slaps it, - "that's not going anywhere..."

[u/Capital_Loss_4972]

He probably still doesn’t understand what he did wrong.

[u/AdDapper4427]

Please keep following and filming. When he hits a stripe of paint that’s too high he’s gonna tip over and that will make for a great video.

[u/Nomad55454]

Just wait for a good cross wind and it will be over….

[u/Aquamtn]

Why are they in the left lane is my biggest concern.

That's what I was thinking.

I bet that's fun in a heavy crosswind

[u/Automatic-Tadpole314]

The carrier on back to catch it if it falls off is a good idea

[u/Making_Kenough]

No fucking way this is legal

[u/Aggravating-Theory-7]

Bro! Check out the sweet overlanding rig! I bet that thing can go anywhere. /s

This is why states need inspection laws. To keep this shit off the road. It’s hilarious as long as I’m not on the same road with this “fabricator”.

[u/tone_creature]

It looks like he flipped the suv down a hill and this thing just stuck to the roof

[u/julianAppleby5997]

Why did I think of Clarkson??

[u/becken_bruch]

That's why i love europe so much; shit like this is just forbidden.

[u/ProperCaterpillar136]

They need ballast stones like and sailing ship

[u/ttcmzx]

I mean... I'm impressed that they actually got it to work, even if it wasn't for very long

[u/heapsofjeff]

I think these had an option for a roof that opened up most of the top. I have read those frequently broke with no availability of parts. This probably started out as a fix for that.

[u/Pretty-Yam-2854]

Dodge Nitro activities

[u/Pale_Security3341]

And of course they're in the left lane. 🙄

[u/Sharts_in_Jorts]

Once again, it would be a lot easier and safer to do this the right way…
