I had a 1973 Datsun p/u with 70 series 14" tires and a cab over camper and could climb curbs (like in the previously mentioned book) and NEVER bent anything!

WHAT THE HE!! DID YOU DO BUFORD!

 

Extreme curb rampin, new sport.. i see potential here

 

wow. hit a curb at 10mph!

Let me fill you in on something. You can't treat these trucks like they do on the commercials. You know, driving fast over a field of boulders, dropping 3K into the bed from ten feet high, etc.

Those trucks on the commercials are toast after they are done with them.

 

Yea thats a bit fast to hit curbs at wonder what insurace is gonna say about it....

 

this is why friday i leave 15 mins early from work, so i can be the first one at the bank and still take the long way!!

 

That old Datsun truck you had probably weighed about 200 pounds compared to his truck!

 

for my age i pay low premiums. thats what i meant. im in that under 25 age range where mpi likes to not give you 25% off. but I guess I'm lucky and get 25% off.

 

you really hit a curb going 10 mph and bent your frame? Our trucks are strong, maybe you should go drive a tundra if you can't drive a ford right cause you dont do stupid stuff and bend your frame.

 

TActually about 250 to 275 with the camper!

 

My buddie had an '82 Ford Courier - brings back memories, when we got stuck (sand or mud-usually the back end had dug itself in) both of us could pick up the back end and reposition the truck on solid ground - no need for 4WD! We beat the daylights out of that truck.

 

It's funny b/c I used the truck to go to Desert races and NEVER got stuck even with the 4 sleeper cab over camper on it! The wide tires plus the weight of the camper made it work real good. Back then lockers was something you did to your doors. Ha ha!

 

You didn't go over the curb, you ramped it. Hope you didn't spill your beer.
