Regular wheels are actually not indicative of whether the truck wheels or not in fact, the posers like to get the most gnarliest-looking tires to use at all times while those that wheel often take the mudders off because they wear very fast on pavement.

Right, but wouldn't the road tires then be properly sized on proper wheels instead of oversized on wide wheels sticking way out?

Well, maybe not sticking out but they tend to run larger. It does look silly with regular size tires and a large lift.

Playing a devils advocate - less aggressive tires are better in sandy soil. Mudders tend to dig in too much instead of floating since there is no solid core to dig to unlike with most cases of mud.

Interesting point.

In RI we don't have much sandy soil, but that's a possibility.

The fender extensions are probably functionally required for driving on the roads on the the way to the dunes.

Axle articulation is key that truck has none. If it did, it would rip that body kit right off with the tires.

Drew built it? I thought he worked IT.

In Soviet Russia, Poet is articulate, not the truck he rode in on.

(Wheel articulation is critical in rock crawling, but on sand dunes, not so much.)

Moot point. That truck whels nowhere. I wouldn't be all that surprised if one of the driveshafts was removed in order to achieve the lift and eliminate potential bind. Done often enough on huge lifted show trucks.

Hoefully for profit rather than insurance claims.
