TEMS uses adjustable hydraulic shocks, not air; It was an option on the SC430 but not the LS430 which got the air struts  . I'm not even sure Toyota has an acronym for their air suspension.edit: have a lovely car to go with this lovely post

There were some pretty impressive feats of redneck engineering on display in that video, you'd think one of them would have the chops to fabricate one (though I guess you can just buy one?) edit: jesus I have never seen so many confederate flags in a single place (thats not true I've been to a couple of ole miss football games) If someone built a hovercraft they could fly  this and just float around looking smug as gently caress

Some of them look pretty well-engineered, but some look like backyard hack jobs. Then you just put as many people on it as you can and drive around the mud. So, it's basically a party cove on land.

Wait, I grew up in Idaho, and we went "mudding" all of the time in a similar environment, but it was just a bunch of (sometimes lifted, sometimes not) Rams, Dakotas, F150/250/350s (of varying decade or century), and sometimes beer. These videos are blowing my mind at how consecutively expensive and dull they must be.

The guys in the lifted pickups at least look like their having fun some of the time, but the pontoon boat things look boring as poo poo. Its just as easy to throw on some terrible music and get drunk in a field.

You really should think twice about continuing this line of thought. You know all those super scary hackjob death machine 4x4s I post lengthy diatribes about in this thread and the horrible failures thread? Yeah, these are built by the same people. Some of them have learned from their mistakes, some haven't. I don't think I've made my dislike for mudders all that unclear int he past, but yeah, they're pretty much the shallow end of the gene pool when it comes to offroad. You can safely assume that the suspension "design" will be somewhere between horrifying and abysmal and the component selection will be based entirely on what automobile was on blocks in front of the trailer park the day the "fabricator" decided to start work. 1. dead car/truck/whatever in the front yard 2. blazer frame! (some will substitute others, and/or terrifying amounts of lift, terrible suspension design, 2.5 or 5 ton rockwell axles out of an old military truck, and assorted extremely large tires.) 3. ??? 4. profit? (this one's rather dubious.) e: have a video! Note that a couple clutch dumps basically resulted in the whole suspension under that hackjob imploding. These are what is considered awesome high quality high dollar builds in the backyard retard mud truck community. Slamming on the throttle while looking out the window and sawing the wheel back and forth to go absolutely nowhere in a muddy pond is apparently exciting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHlS7OPkTkU Oh, they're gud wit da englishes, too, "showers down on that skinny" apparently means "lots of throttle." I don't know how you shower down on it. "the path of his roost" is also valid English in those circles. tl;dr: retards playing in the mud. kastein fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Jan 19, 2014 |

I think that MudFest + Gathering of the Juggalos + an East Coast Burning Man being held same time/same place would be pretty entertaining, after the worst offenders from each group clashed and removed themselves from the gene pool (bullets or drugs, or both) the first year.

Takes a lot of effort to make a Q7 uglier than the factory, but this guy managed it. And then crashed it, or is the bodykit supposed to meet the rest of the car at a jaunty angle?

Even if that's not the case, the dent in the back bumper suggests an accident. Also, what is up with so many people putting transformers logos on their cars? I find it even more retarded than truck nuts frankly. At least the truck nuts could be ironic.
