Howdy all,

Enjoy this post that showed up on my FB. Maybe he misunderstood what mall crawling really is…

the mismatched rims and tires are clearly the cause here.
he was unable to manage the instability and wrecked on turn 4.
I think they may all be the same rim but he ran out of spray paint before finishing that rear one.

All the extra weight of that paint is probably what set up the instability.

What the hell did he(she!?) run over, almost looks like goodwill donation boxes with a "hip" paint job!
Maybe the clothes didn't fit. ?

Lucky he had beadlocs or the front tires may have fallen off. And yes the front skid/bash plate worked. lol
2x4 or 4x4? 4x4 may have been able to drive out of there.

I used Google Maps to find the intersection of Atlantic and Wardlow. Turns out it is in Long Beach, CA. It appears to be the traffic light controller.

Wrong!

Obvioiusly:

1. Brake pedal was too soft.
2. Fuel in oil caused unnecessary engine surge.
3. Extended lift unbalanced shock dampening.
4. Extended lift put too much weight on rear suspension.
5.Extended lift required use of steel spindles causing oversteer.
6. Overly large wheel wells and too small tires caused unreliable speedometer reading.
7. No engine cover caused too much boost.
8. Too much smoke cause red rims ;)
9. Trying to charge gas car at Prius Prissy Station caused truck to flip on to station.
10. Papered back panel window blocked view of back seat driver...

and he does have a tailgate damper, cause the tailgate didn't fall down during re-charge.

Maybe he/she wanted to test the skid plates before taking the truck off-road.

The front wheels are actually not painted black, that's excessive brake dust buildup from trying to stop, wait, maybe he hit the gas instead of the brake and that is black paint?

I'm guessing a damper is to blame ... :blush:
