GabAlmighty 12-08-2011 12:39 PM

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, look at that mad tight flex yo!

91civicZC 12-08-2011 01:05 PM

It really needs a slight lift and more suspension travel, but looks freakin awsome. I want.

kwy 12-08-2011 01:10 PM

That poor E39 getting crushed.

Geoc 12-08-2011 01:16 PM

No low range, no lockers, no suspension articulation :fuckthatshit:

kwy 12-08-2011 01:18 PM

Yeah, in that case it's all show no go.

In case you guys didn't read to the end of their thread:

So... They put launch control.. On an "offroad" "machine"... What in the fuck are they smoking?

fliptuner 12-08-2011 04:41 PM

Sweet!!! Almost as much suspension travel as a Mazda3!!!

donjalapeno 12-08-2011 04:58 PM

If you noticed the truck is mostly at car shows......therefore making it a show car..therefore it won't be going off road

After plenty of thought had been given to the subject, we settled on creating a vehicle that oozed the aesthetic of urban assault, with the typical Fluid goal of launching fireballs. So we started doing some drawings and got to work.
:suspicious:

maxxxboost 12-08-2011 06:55 PM

X5s are ugly. I've yet to see one done right.

FerrariEnzo 12-08-2011 10:49 PM

i think the bumper.. except for that point the goes up the middle...

jpark 12-09-2011 01:43 AM

now that i think of it.. all this on a unibody? :fuckthatshit:
all that could have been spent on a ladderframe.

id still drive it tho, cuz it looks like a beast at least and that sound :sweetjesus:

JDął 12-10-2011 07:19 PM

Great style, wrong platform. The fact that it's just a show car makes it a fail.

Already have enough problems with C-lai's driving through sh*t, now were going to let them run over and crush things too...

!SG 12-11-2011 06:36 AM

while trying to go offroad, front thrust bushings crack, lower ball joints seperate, and buttons from the climate control pop out and get lost somewhere in the interior of the monster...


at least the expansion tank didnt explode...

brute_4s 12-11-2011 02:41 PM

probably needed to be jacked up on that 5 series with that lack of articulation

I would rather take a Dodge 3500 and jack it up with 5 inch straight pipe, chip and intake.

A welder on my site has one and when it is at high idle it sounds like a freaking 737 at idle. His 07 Dodge is making like 700 hp and god knows how much torque. Says that is even louder.
