yeah, why does having the body up so high help if the suspension is only about a foot off the ground?

Holy drive shaft angle!

Google Translate detects the language in the comments as Estonian.

That's what I like about the world. No matter where you go, you'll find the equivalent of our rednecks.

How do you say, 'Hey guys, watch this!' in Estonian?

The chassis doesn't seem to have all that much lift just a cheesey body lift. The whitewalls on the other hand are cooler than cool.

That thing is scary as hell...looks like a station wagon parked on top of a truck chassis. I prefer Red Green's amphibious CRX boat hauler

Exactly what it is. A Volkswagen Passat body set on a UAZ 469 chassis

Fixed. I fail to see much evidence of axle articulation.

There used to be a guy here in town that had a Caddy Fleetwood on a 4wd suburban chassis. It was sitting several feet in the air with 44s on it.

Man, some of you guys need to live closer to WVA. You get used to seeing things like that quite regularly.

And the folks are proud of what they've built. There's at least three of those abominations I can think of within just a few miles of me.

Redneck knows no geographic nor demographic boundries.

Appellation american is the politicaly correct term that must be used in the United States.
