Not much as the guy cut most of the bed to accommodate the retardedly-big wheels, so whatever falls in would just fall through.

The whole bed would probably warp out of shape and wreck the tires/wheels if you hit a big pothole. The guy appears to have just cut it and not reinforced it to compensate for the loss of structural strength. I think the guy's trying to sell it because he suddenly realized how completely retarded the whole premise of this truck truly is.

Truck beds don't really add anything in the way of strength since trucks still use a full frame. I'm sure his ridiculous setup has notched frame rails, however, and those will kill structural integrity.

Looking for a first car for a teen? This car is absolutely brilliant. It's got low mileage (68k), has been super reliable, and is excellent on gas. Since you're likely paying for the gas, this will make things much cheaper on you. I average like 37MPG to a tank. And with such low mileage, it'll work great for a long long time.

But you wanna know the best reason to buy this car for your kid?

It's slow as poo poo. You don't have to worry about speeding tickets or accidents in this baby. Your kid could have a 1 mile run and hit a brick wall not wearing a seatbelt and not be going fast enough to do poo poo. And there won't be any sense in him getting some lovely rear end fart can off of eBay - this car has the super slow SPI engine, no sense in trying to make it any faster. It's a 4-door, so your kid won't try to put gay rear end Lambo doors on it. It is still possible to fit this with a body kit, but if you'd like, for an extra $200, I can stab him in the face if he does this.

It's a 5-speed, so your kid can't talk on his cell phone while playing Gameboy and smoking pot - he'll have to actually pay attention. It also means you won't have to pay for an automatic transmission when your kid beats the hell out of it. It's got a new clutch and new tires, so you'll know if he does burnouts. After all, I'm sure YOU'RE the one paying for tires, right? It's got an aftermarket head unit in it, so your kid won't gently caress it up when him and his buddies try to wire in a "phat rear end system". It's already had the speakers replaced too, so he won't have to tear the door cards on and then look like a retard when he can't get them back on. It's got manual windows too, so he can't gently caress up the window motors when he rolls one of his friends heads up in it as a joke. A new battery means when he leaves his headlights on, it won't leave you totally stranded.

But really though, one of the best parts is that, because it is a 4 door, it will be somewhat embarrassing for him to be seen in. I'm sure you get pissed at him from time to time. Hell, you're probably mad at him for harassing you into buying him a first car. So get this one. It has no A/C, so you'll know he's suffering every time you get mad at him. Pretty satisfying. It'll bring a smile to your face too, to know he's rolling around looking like a human being in a Ford Focus.

So buy this car for your kid. You won't regret it.
