Looks like something from an industrial application like a Cushman or Taylor/Dunn

Is that a swing axle tricycle?

i don't know about the hubs, but i think he needs a heavier duty axle- it appears to be a little bent..

I don't see why you couldn't narrow a trailer axle to accomplish that.

The hubs are most likely golf cart or lawn tractor pieces. Perhaps even fronts off of a quad.

The tires look to be the 205/30-12's.

So probably EZ-Go front hubs or something.

That thing must be terrifying to ride, imagine the weight of that thing...if you hit a hill of any kind you're just a passenger, and it won't even mercifully fall over before you can pick up too much speed.

In reply to GameboyRMH:

Its stance crap, the person that owns it just parks it next to his bagged, roof-racked, rusted hood car at car shows and waits for people to ask about it.

Edit: I posted the roof-rack, car show comment before I clicked on the link that said he brought it to shows. All I had to see was stance crap and a recaro sticker and knew what the deal was.

yup.. just as much a joke as those guys who have their rims so far poking out of the tyres, I am surprised the rubber does not unseat just rolling them off of the trailer

I come from the VW "scene" where it has, in the last 4 or 5 years, has been all about this stance crap. Gone are the old days of nice neat modification of your street toy to now whether or not you have a static or bag drop, how much poke you have, and check out my new wire tuck job that will eventually catch my car on fire and burn the $10K worth of E36 M3 I have in my $1200 Golf.

As you can see I am acting like a bitter, get off my lawn, old guy or something like that. In all reality that thing is kinda cool looking, but I know damn well what kinda hipster d-bag has it to bring to car shows.

Or he built it to make fun of the stance cars. I dig it

Although I think I dig this more. The builder was putting together a siding weight system so that wheel stands became more optional than required.

Keith... that is awesome!

I'd totally bring the trike to car shows, but it would be so other people could tool around in it and have a grand ol time.

"Cedric also has a clothing line dedicated to the aggressive fitment lifestyle called “WIDENED“. Thanks for sharing with us Cedric!"

The aggressive fitment lifestyle? Does the clothing line encourage you to wear clothes that are way too small?

I wonder if you have to walk bowlegged to be "stanced"

Wouldn't being knock-kneed be more similar to the stupid amounts of negative camber associated with "stance"?
