I suppose you could justify it if you had one of those mini
5th wheel trailers. :-) More stable but still a medium sized
truck when its unhooked. But yeah, its probably cheaper to
just buy a full size. Just not as much fun. ;-)

Yeah, I noticed the rims, they look like actual dually wheels,
and unless my eyes deceive me, he's got at least an 8 lug
rear axle, maybe even a 10. I can't quite figure out the
front wheels; unless the cap is covering the lug nuts it
looks like a 5 lug but with a big spacing - 5x5.5 or 5x6
maybe?
At any rate, good stuff; its nice to see somebody with
the vision, time, talent and courage to color outside the
lines. :-)
