tommyk90 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 When you have a 3 ton+ vehicle with a 1/4 to 1/2 ton frame you can drive it sure but if you have not built it to support & drive long distance or off road(4x4) you better trailer it when you can. Because it get expensive fast with parts wearing out fast or outright breaking. My vehicle is 159+ and I offroad it HARD and it weighs 2500kgs, I break old body mounds etc but I expect that and each time I fix it I make it stronger than before. Loudest daily driven vehicle by a long shot is the A-Teams Blazer it drove over 60 hours to and from last finals but would I recommend that again, hell no that was a long drive but the wear on the vehicle just isn't worth it. It can do it but it comes down to do you want to. Like Steve says if someone is gonna pay for it to be trailered you do it to save some miles on the odometer. Oh don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to commute 60 miles daily in his truck. haha. Just saying it IS driveable if need be. And actually, the loudest daily driven vehicle would have to go to bob perillos (or whoever owns it now, i forget) big, blue econoline van. 169+ and was daily driven. I can only wish to have a vehicle capable of either mckinnie's or meade's (or the A teams now that you mention it). Maybe when I win the lottery.

Destram Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Oh it's definitely driveable, no debate about that.I've seen it driven.But regardless, it's still a trailor queen, and that's just the way it is. Aren't all the windows blacked out, making it impossible to see? Of course the vehicle cranks and will drive, but is it actually driveable? 2006 BMW 325i My feedback: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/77301-official-destram-feedback/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the vehicle cranks and will drive, but is it actually driveable? As I stated, mckinnie has driven his truck around his shop and whatnot. Is it safe to drive all the time? Probably not, but I know he does drive it. Meade's hoe is by far more capable and safer for daily driving though.
