What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

Holy crap, I saw that thing at the airport. Pavement princesses are not really my thing.

What an utterly useless thing. You add axles to bear more weight. Unless you're hauling a big tungsten cube, the truck isn't big enough to carry a load that would need three axles.

It's even dumber than those Jeep Gladiators, the #1 pavement princess in my area, which sacrifice departure angle for a ridiculously small amount of cargo space and less load capacity than an entry level pickup truck.

Just stupid.

big tungsten cube

Tbf if you can afford this thing you can probably almost afford a big tungsten cube..

I'd rather have two cubes and a vehicle that doesn't reek of midlife crisis.

Two cubes?!

Hey everyone I found Jeff Bezos' lemmy acct. You seen the tungsten prices lately?!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

They didn't say how big the cube has to be. You can get tungsten dice from games workshop (but don't).

Would you describe those as big tungsten cubes? Big enough to use them as an example of something that would necessitate extra towing capacity for an entire vehicle?

If so, you must be Hercules if you can roll them and rich if you can afford them.
