I just saw this today
The front camber was crazy, super negative, kinda like if it was TTB with shot springs, but then why is the front jacked up so high?
Front tires stick way out, rears are tucked in.
Can't tell if it's actually 4wd, I don't see hubs sticking out?

It looks like 2WD to me, you can see the front axle underneath. One of the "cool" things today is to level your truck... which I haven't been able to understand. I have a hard enough time looking over the hood t see where my tires are going when on marginal roads, I don't know why you would want to extand that distance.

Maybe he felt he had to do something with those big rubbers and small rims and that is all he could come up with. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

BMW's apparently don't have convenient turn signals or else the type who buys them just doesn't care.
Yup..

Last time i was cut off it was by a middle aged man in a small Renault family wagon/minivan. I was thinking he must be the office *****, taking his agression of being pecked on by colleagues out into traffic....

That's set up as a "prerunner", long travel twin beam suspension gets kinda goofy, I agree their camber is a bit off and not how I would have set it up but hey... some of those guys will build custom beams up front to gain a few inches per side so they can get an absurd amount of front suspension travel, I wouldn't be too surprised if it had 20" of travel in the front, almost looks like a trailing arm suspension in the back so could be similar back there... has soft suspension so their extra activities squat the back more than normal... at least that is set up to serve a purpose unlike the "bro dozers"... But this is from a guy that's a fan of the twin beam suspension... one of these days I'll pull the perfectly good SLA suspension out of my '00 Explorer and build a custom TTB Dana 50/44 hybrid...

Anywho, no pics since I didn't catch it soon enough but I saw a trailer that looked funny, turns out it was a tilt deck trailer with a ~5' brush hog on the very back, the deck came unlatched and was dragging on the ground as they were driving in town...

A V70 diesel here in Europe is concidered a big luxury vehicle, just under a big SUV. Driving an older BMW or Merc or Audi in the same class will get you hate, because those are bought by status sensitive types and you will be assumed to be just that. A V70 doesnt have that general preconception here.

Funny how conceptions differ between continents....
If they had a forward facing 3rd row seat I would drive a V70XC, but they don't (and completely removed the 3rd row at one point), so I drive a Fordified XC90 (2009 Taurus X) 🤷‍♂️

I think if you look at that Ford truck the rear tires don’t stick out because there is some kind of flare on the back. You can see what looks like 4 dots that hold it on and covers most of the bed side. You probably just hack away the original wheel lip to fit the big tires and slap the bed flare on.

Like rangerFred said, thats built as a pre-runner (desert racing truck). Looks pretty well executed to me. The front camber is to aid in cornering at really high speed on dirt, the inside front wheel often lifts off the ground. Note the roll cage inside as well. Why that dude is driving it around on pavement, well who knows.

Yep, probably fiberglass bedsides and possibly a tube frame (at least behind the cab), probbaly built like this truck: https://www.instagram.com/p/CgV9A5nOZ9R/?hl=en

You will receive much hate from the green left proletariate in Holland. Much, much more than in North America...
