Can’t zoom in on that pic but it’s a gnarly high lifted NBS truck, looks like either a tahoe or burb but can’t tell which. Lol.

The mud truck guys do some seriously crazy builds

They blurred out the plates, and I'm not searching the Instagram poster to find where they are, but that landscaping tells me southern Arizona or southern cal.

Those are not uncommon west of town around here, mud truck. That one looks like it has military axles.

Those tires might have some inches on em, but its the girth you need when you want to play in the wet stuff. Those look a lil too skinny.


I see a desert/southwest truck for someone who has a micropenis or microbrain and doesn't realize how top heavy that would be for any place that bottom would help.

There's a line of thinking about tall and skinny tires like that for the mud. It usually involves lots of rpms and inertia!

uhhh, that video doesn't show any mud, but it does show why being that high (and top heavy) is ridiculously stupid and dangerous.


If you look back at the NBS, those tires have (at least a partial) street tread.

I know a lot of shops do this to "show off there skills", and its not like I could do this or afford to have this done. To me, this is what people and shops do because they think it looks cool, and you go in knowing its just not practical nor is it the best way to do it; instead of trying to compete with everyone else and show some real overall above-aveage skills. This is what shops do to show off that they have the first 90% skill instead of doing something realistic and showing off the last 10%.

You can google too Justin!

Those might be his street or transport tires. As for weight, the axles and frame to support them lower the center of gravity. Check out the video, took my daughter to these very same fields recently on a weekday and had the place to ourselves. Thank the Lord for the KO2s and the 2-speed transfer case! LOL

I did search quickly, and saw nothing similar. I wasn't going to spend too much time looking.

Like you say though, this is something you had to go out and look for a place to do. We have NO clue where that actually is, but going off the: no grass, the rock landscaping, and the trees that don't look like they are .. deciduous?.. I'm just stuck on thinking its a desert climate. For me its a combination of the truck, and where I think it is. I COULD be a thousand miles off, but I think that might actually be near me here in Phoenix, AZ. We have NO WHERE near here to go mudding. That thing would use up at least one tank of gas from here before it found anywhere it could go.

Different strokes, Not trying to completely bash it, just not my thing.... Straight lines are usually up to the machine, I like corners.

I’m not bashing it either. But it’s also not my style either.... couldn’t pay me to drive that.... lol
