Not all trucks at SEMA are just built for show. The Safari Pacific MX2 truck was at SEMA.

That purple truck, was just plain stupid.

Er.. just plain dumb. I don't wanna confuse people. :D

Dual coilovers mounted with a single bolt mounted in single shear.....stupidest design ever.

Had the mounts been made properly in double shear with proper hardware it probably would have taken several jumps fine....but seeing as how something as simple as that was so under engineered I'd be scared to take a good hard look at it...
