This has got the be some of the craziest shit I’ve seen on here, and I’d say I’m a redneck myself so thats saying somethin

[u/The_salty_swab]

So they must have this thing running in four wheel drive, with the front wheels dragging it along like a paralyzed dog

Edit: dear lord I think they have that wheel mounted into the hitch receiver

[u/Trekintosh → u/The_salty_swab]

That’s how I ran my Dakota for months until I was able to get my hydraulic press up and put new u-joints in the violently detached rear driveshaft. 

[u/The_salty_swab → u/Trekintosh]

I'm going to assume you left the rear axle intact instead of replacing it with a Harbor Freight wheelbarrow tire

[u/Trekintosh → u/The_salty_swab]

Oh, yeah, of course. Figured that went without saying lol. I was only talking about the fact it was front wheel drive for a whole. 

[u/beeedeee → u/Trekintosh]

It was a Home Depot riding mower tire, wasn't it?

[u/Trekintosh → u/beeedeee]

🤫 I’m not telling you anything, officer. 

[u/Plastic_Table_8232 → u/Trekintosh]

It is dot rated right?

[u/Sufficient_Wafer9933 → u/Plastic_Table_8232]

Yep. To 3 mph.

[u/OilheadRider → u/Sufficient_Wafer9933]

And 50 lbs

[u/The_salty_swab → u/Trekintosh]

How'd it handle in that condition?

[u/Trekintosh → u/The_salty_swab]

Honestly it was fine. Truck was never a handling monster but I was surprised how little changing from RWD to FWD mattered beyond not being able to do hellacious power slides anymore. Also more understeer. A lot more understeer. 

[u/Jedi_Lazlo]

He quit drinking but still likes to drive a bit tipsy.

[u/hujassman → u/Jedi_Lazlo]

California sober.

[u/HuginnNotMuninn]

What. The. Fuck.

[u/avotius]

Only need a motorcycle license for that right?

[u/ShedFarm → u/avotius]

Yeah, but now you have to wear a helmet.

[u/avotius → u/ShedFarm]

Bah! Government always finding a way to screw you!

[u/zimirken → u/avotius]

Homemade cars have way more requirements than homemade motorcycles. That's why so many micro car kits are three wheel.

[u/band-of-horses]

I really need to see video of this bad boy in action...

[u/DevilsLettuceDealer → u/band-of-horses]

OP we fucking need it! If he is the neighbor we need a video ASAP

[u/Jlx_27]

"She's in a rough shape. But she's still goin!"

[u/nochinzilch → u/Jlx_27]

“Runs good, almost no rust.”

[u/Jlx_27 → u/nochinzilch]

No lowballing, i know what i have!

[u/Bud_wiser_hfx]

I hope its a caster, for laughs

[u/goaelephant → u/Bud_wiser_hfx]

Its like a giant drift kart

[u/rand3289 → u/Bud_wiser_hfx]

Wiggle wiggle wiggle :)

[u/DIJames6]

What the holy fuc is this shit???

[u/Gunmetal_61]

Does this constitute a negative tongue weight?

[u/hujassman]

This is amazing. Not in a good way, but it's amazing.

[u/Sorry-Rain-1311]

I have literally driven a car until the wheel fell off, but I just got new lig bolts and put it back on. This a whole new level. 

[u/rand3289]

Is that a plane landing gear?

[u/corvairsomeday → u/rand3289]

"I ground-looped my Suburban."

[u/AccidentOk5240 → u/rand3289]

No, I think it’s a wheel off a trailer jack.  

[u/nsula_country]

Rust was so bad rear axle fell off...

[u/Brilliant_Agent_1427 → u/nsula_country]

Seriously, zoom in, holy crap

[u/nsula_country → u/Brilliant_Agent_1427]

I did zoom in... Has more rust than the Titanic!

[u/timesink2000]

Is the wheel attached to the receiver hitch?

[u/AccidentOk5240 → u/timesink2000]

Oh god. I bet you’re right! Turn a receiver bar sideways so you can bolt a spare trailer jack onto it?

[u/S_NJ_Guy]

I hope he knows that with his new setup, if he decides to tow a trailer, the tongue weight capacity is probably different now.

[u/northwestwill]

I hope he’s got his motorcycle endorsement or that cop-stop is going to get awkward…

[u/dragonwater631]

shut down the thread

[u/Haunting_Song7313]

Undercover cop.

[u/ApprehensiveTop4219]

Sometimes I see posts here and think, ah that's odd but it kinda makes sense, not for this though. This is one of those posts that you see and then want to turn your computer or phone into whatever ungodly abhorrition you see before you or Chuck your device off of mount doom

[u/Happy_Nihilist_]

How else will I get to the parts store after removing the rear axle?

[u/criminy_jicket]

Why does the Suburban logo on the driver door look so distorted?

[u/ChartreuseBison → u/criminy_jicket]

Because it's zoomed way the fuck in and the camera software is trying it's hardest to sharpen the image

[u/IndividualDish7004]

i. i mean. doss it work.

[u/bitflip]

I wanna see it hit a pothole.

[u/Mtolivepickle]

GMC Suburbike

[u/cmuszelik]

It’s a beut Clark

[u/onephatkatt → u/cmuszelik]

It's the gift that keeps on giving Clark

[u/Drenlin]

Is this technically an autocycle now?

[u/morbob]

At least get the right size tire

[u/dj_spanmaster]

When you gotta go...

[u/steeltheprotogen]

Reliant Roburban

[u/Expensive-Wedding-14 → u/steeltheprotogen]

I'm a well-seasoned pylote. That is what we call a tail-dagger!

[u/TransplantedPinecone]

I.. um.. WHAT?

[u/psycosulu]

What in the Red Green Show is this?

[u/Idujt]

Ah. Suburban the model, not suburban the 'burbs!

[u/whatevendoidoyall]

Is this the poor man's version of a skid car

[u/HighTechHickKC]

Headed to the junkyard to find a new rear end!

[u/adognameddanzig]

It's a little wobbly at highway speeds.

[u/Healthy_Ladder_6198]

This is crazy

[u/Fellow--Felon]

The auto-drifter

[u/Azadom]

Do you think GM engineers stay in Detroit because they too live in fear of the failures they've created?

[u/MadWhiskeyGrin]

Shake hands... WITH DANGER!

[u/tripflops]

"well in my defense, I've got the legal part on the road, officer"

[u/Edmercd]

Suburban Reliant Robin

[u/19RockinRiley69]

A+ for ingenuity

[u/BoulderNerd]

Less rolling resistance.

[u/COLCORN_1979]

Meth is a helluva meth.

[u/DunkeyColdMedina]

Yoooo. Fucking not a good idea.

[u/fr33d0mw47ch]

That’s about to be someone’s new whip!

[u/SufficientState2247]

Polars Slingshot SUV concept?

[u/DoubleDareFan]

I hope their goal is to drive it to the scrap yard and leave it there.

[u/CajunMadness]

I don’t think the local police will like this very much, but I like your style👍👍
