How does it have Florida tags?

Please tell me they donxt drive it from Florida to Seattle and back every year.

Actually I bet that's it, Seattleites retired in Florida, had kids late, have the mondo-mobile because you can option it with PS2s in the back.

Is Shrek as a lumberjack some reference I don't get? And I didn't even know they made trucks with three doors on each side.

I'm assuming it's so the owner can make people THINK he can do wheelies with all that POWAH

It's because the truck has a poor departure angle, the wheels are there so when rolling over the top of some stupid liberal in their prius he doesn't scrape the bumper.

There's an article about the truck here. http://www.trucktrend.com/features/1705-show-n-tow-2007-ford-f-650-when-really-big-is-not-quite-enough



edit: there's a somewhat sensible explanation for those little wheels:

I think accessory under-drive pulley is more likely, but imagine having to explain how it works to idiots who buy trucks like that.

One good bump and he’s losing that bike at a minimum. I’d bet it bends everything that hitch is attached to, too.

I wish I had that kind of peace of mind. When I run a 1 1/4" hitch bicycle rack on my car I always run a strap from the rack up to the top of the hatch because every wobble I see in my rear view stops my heart. I'm curious if there's any situation where one of those 1 1/4" to 2" adapters is actually advisable.

:same:, though it'll have to happen after I do rear suspension. It sags noticeably with just a 40 pound pail of cat litter in the back. Me sitting on the bumper (~175 lbs) drops the back of the car a couple of inches.

I suspect one of the POs used the hitch.... a lot. I haven't seen another 2nd gen Outback that's this saggy.

Get a 1Up rack. Best there is out there with all replaceable hardware. Buy once, cry once.

Thule's products, though the name brand, is also a great buy. I know an engineer for the company who posts photos of them at Lime Rock trying to get racks to break. They easily could just do computer FEA, but I like to think they sit in a meeting room looking at each other for all of a minute before pulling up Lime Rock's schedule on the projector.

I don't have any trouble with one of the Harbor Freight trailers (modified a bit):

New springs and struts, though. I just can't load the trailer much, since it is the Class 2 1-1/4" receiver.
I need to modify my cargo basket so it sits higher on the Crown Vic. I'll see if I can't come up with a better way to attach it to the 1-1/4" hitch on the Subaru as well, though I'd really prefer to start with the lighter aluminum one for that.
