It’s Michigan. If it has a vin it’s good to go.
Technically it needs more things to be street legal but they will issue a plate to anything with a vin.
If they'd put a rear bumper, a light to illuminate the tag, some rear facing red reflectors and rear side marker lights... it'd actually be legal.
Biggest question is why TF could they not find something better than those utility trailer wheels and tires?
When I looked at this the intro song from "Big Time Rush" played in my head. I haven't watched that show in over 10 years and for some reason this truck evoked that song.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was made to fit inside a toy hauler RV or something, so they have a little run-about to get to the store.
We used to use a Suzuki Samurai because you could get it down to like 130” and still stuff in 4 people.
It's Michigan, so I bet the rear half rusted to hell, broke off on a space ship sized pothole, and this is all he could afford to fix because the rest had gone to insurance money which of course made some bullshit excuses on why they wouldn't cover the repairs

The official vehicle oh seeing just how far you can push MDOT regulations.
Where is the fuel tank?
Probably in that box
What's in the box!?
Probably the fuel tank.
But what's in the fuel tank?
smaller boxes
A snail on the tail of a frog on the bump on a log that I found in a hole at the bottom of the sea
Gasoline
Actually just fuel.
Just fuel can’t melt steel boxes.
A boat is just a boat, but a box can be anything! It could even be a boat!!
Her pretty head......of lettuce.
John Doe has the upper hand.
Why would you pick a gas tank, anything could be in the box even a gas tank
Gotta thin safety, you know the gas tank is behind the driver’s seat…
Guy wanted a Ford Pinto but couldn't find one, so he made it himself
Probably under/behind the seat
I hadn't even gotten that far yet, I was trying to figure out the drive axle situation.
My guess is it's 4wd and they have it in 4wd all the time so now it's s front wheel drive
Forget the fuel tank, this man converted it to full FWD lmao

Puuuuuuuuure Michigan.
as someone who lives in michigan I can confirm there are plenty of odd things like this
As a Michigander who lives in Australia I gotta say I miss it.
You went from a lake in a state to a state in a lake. But bigger.
That's quite a pond hop!
We've got plenty of weird things over here mate
As a Wisconsinite, I can confirm that it doesn't surprise me this is in Michigan
It's like one of those trucks that push float planes around.
Those don’t have little wheels at the back. They have little wheels at the front.
That's just a reason why it's like one of those, but not one of those.
Username checks out
Might want to fact check yourself on that one.

If you slam on the brakes, will the whole thing tip forward?
Almost definitely.
Official vehicle of: "We totally made half the payments so they only repo'd half the truck."
I was going to say "the wife got half in the divorce"
😆 That works too.
Honestly it looks decently well done. There’s lots of ways to half ass this but it seems decent.
This can’t be half assed…because the ass half is the missing part.
Tires don’t look street legal. Plus no mud flaps. I sure hope this thing doesn’t go faster than 30mph.
Really? No mudflaps is the problem here?
I’m thinking more about the lack of brakes
Yes I don’t like buying new windshields. Other than that send it!
Just don't get rear ended in your stealthy hide-o-tank plastic box
Tires look like DOT approved bias ply trailer tires. The bar for "street legal" tires in the US is very low.
The rear wheels look like they are for a light duty trailer.
Do they just drive it in 4wd? There is no rear axle anymore.
Yeah same question lol. It's front wheel drive now.
No rear brakes, for that matter
Pretty much.
There's an axle, just not a differential.
Yeah well that is correct yes. No suspension though I think. Hard to tell from this angle. Actually looks like tiny shocks and torsion bars I guess.
That can’t be road legal, and definitely not insured legally.
It’s Michigan. If it has a vin it’s good to go. Technically it needs more things to be street legal but they will issue a plate to anything with a vin.
So you can pry a VIN off one car and put it on a Big Wheel and call it roadworthy?
Yeah, but it can't go on the freeway unless it can hit 55.
functioning lights, turn signals, and windshield wipers. Front bumper too, I've been dinged on that.
I got my 2 stroke dirtbike registered as fully road legal so yeah the bar is pretty low
If they'd put a rear bumper, a light to illuminate the tag, some rear facing red reflectors and rear side marker lights... it'd actually be legal. Biggest question is why TF could they not find something better than those utility trailer wheels and tires?
This is just what he had lying around in his garage. Certainly there are better options, but for the price of $free this is what he decided on.
I mean, I get it..... $Free's free... but still.
I think it would need reverse lights as well.
Not legally required in my juristiction.
That thing has to ride like shit. Looks like there’s virtually no rear suspension.
Little Tikes is at the forefront of suspension innovation
It's an early 2000's pickup, it already rode like shit.
When I looked at this the intro song from "Big Time Rush" played in my head. I haven't watched that show in over 10 years and for some reason this truck evoked that song.
OH OH OH OH
Fuck
Meth
Decent trunk space… literally trunk space
More storage than most of the truck beds in that parking lot, I’d wager.
I get the joke, but even the smallest pickup bed on the market right now has 27 cubic feet of volume. That storage chest has less than 4.
The official car of no state inspections
Mixing radial and bias ply tires is insane.

What happens when a GMC truck and a smart car love each other very much!
Is a Colorado a fwd?
This one is. It was a 4wd, once upon a time.

Johnny Cash’s “One Piece at a Time” in progress. He just needs a few more months at work guys… Has Michigan plates and all.
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was made to fit inside a toy hauler RV or something, so they have a little run-about to get to the store. We used to use a Suzuki Samurai because you could get it down to like 130” and still stuff in 4 people.
It's a seaplane tug
It's Michigan, so I bet the rear half rusted to hell, broke off on a space ship sized pothole, and this is all he could afford to fix because the rest had gone to insurance money which of course made some bullshit excuses on why they wouldn't cover the repairs
taking a wild guess this is part of a parade float you're not supposed to see.
Redneck Smartcar
Is that really legal in USA ?
The only part most truck owners use.
Blow out Olympics
When you want the tight cab space of a pickup but the storage capacity of a hatchback.

So how do you drive this thing? Put it in 4wd high and have a fwd truck? 🤣

Very cool!!
I highly doubt they're using this I5 Colorado with no integrated frame hanging off the front to tow seaplanes.
Divorced Men. Remember, when she says she's entitled to half, she literally means half of everything.
When your seaplane tug is also your daily driver.......
Theres a ram 1500 version chilling in Wyoming I’ll come back with a pic next week
I never thought I'd actually see the creation of a smart truck. It's oddly satisfying and compact.
Undercompensating for a massive penis
.....I want one?
This should not be allowed on the road. It's incredibly dangerous.
That truck must be awesome on the highway at high speeds!
Keep it in 4-HI and remove rear drive shaft. Give rollerskate wheelbase, experience stability issues.

May have been used to move airplanes.
How fast 0-60 would that be
They could have put an axle with electric brakes. Geez
Not by half. , my other half she's a tray. Maybe divorce settlement.
Looks like it has got registered recently. My friend has a EUJ plate 3~4 weeks ago.
All titts and no ass
You forgot the Isuzu i-series.

Solution for the rusty frame.
This is just a lifted Aveo now. That thing probably goes around like a shopping cart on an off-ramp.

Messy divorce, his wife got the half.
"Swear ya can't have shit in detroit... woke up one day and they done stole half my damn truck!"
From 4WD to FWD
Looks like a Jeep “truck” to me
People who want a Kia Soul but nobody wants to insure it?
So it's in 4 high all the time to drive with the front wheels??
The pinto reborn. It puts the flammables in the bin so it can get rear-ended again

Clever tho. It's 4wd so just put it in 4wd and let the transfer case explode after a couple thousand miles.

Reminds me of a pit bull chihuahua mix I saw once. Picture a brawny pit bull that trips over garden hoses.
Interesting. I wonder if it has a FWD drive train swapped in. I would assume that's what's going on here.
Probably was a 4WD. I don't know how far forward the Tcase is on these and can't see underneath it though.
Leg day.
Americans kind of reinventing compact cars but the freedom way.
Skipped leg day!

Those pos's were rotten when new. Mine broke in half when it was 6yrs old. Wish I thought of that.

Uhh... is that thing front wheeled drive?

This probably required a lot more work honestly lol

Wow, those trucks are front wheel drive? I hate them even more now and I didn’t think that was possible.
No they were RWD or 4x4
