MAN that's a massive rig...

I hit up Smith's on 8th&9th to pick up some concert tickets and a Dt Coke.. I was suprised to see this behemuth beast of a rig in my neck of the woods. You don't see MAN's in the US too often.

Too bad it had that ugly orange thing in front of it blocking the view, huh?

Don't kid yourself. 55s are ugly. Really ugly. Thats why they're so badass.


That other thing looks almost exactly like the trucks we use at work. Only instead of a kitchen ours have a 20,000ft winch.

^ Of course I agree. I still look at the 55 and wonder what the engineers/designers were thinking.. The lines of the vehicle are ridiculous.

I love my little pigs..

My Freightliner has an air locker in the rear axle... Just wish it was 4WD.

I followed that rig through Sardine canyon on Friday--my wife had to grab the wheel as I sat there and drooled

I've seen two others one was in Moab and the other was in Glacier Park a few years back. The one in the park dwarfed that one as it was riding on 53" Michelin's

Ha, i really don't take notice of what wil/won't make me 'fat'.. I really just like it's taste.

I grew up on Mt Dew, then switched to Dr Pepper throughout HS & post HS until I met my wife's family.. They always had it around, so I started drinkin it.

I love those MAN trucks... A great platform on which to build.

You know I have seen them in that size for as little as $50,000.oo, so, I don't know, I figure a LOT of folks could have one if they wanted it. They are not any more than a typical motorhome.

Thanks for throwing that up here, great pictures...
