Why???

**jhammel85** · 04-11-2012, 02:59 PM

Meh, It's a 1st gen that's still around so why not?

I'd make mine a time machine if it was possible even though I wouldn't recommend going 88 mph in it

i'm just not big into alternative fuels.. i'd be into it if they found a better way to do it. right now it just costs to much...

It is a neat project, I would hate to think what 20 6v batteries would cost...

I like it! I wish I had the money and time to convert one of my 4x4"s.

getting only 40 miles doesn't justify buying it at all.

**2813josh** · 05-08-2012, 08:57 AM

I think it's pretty cool..

**AllanD** · 05-15-2012, 11:08 PM

other than the local walmart I can't think of anywhere I could go that I actually
want to go that I can actually get to if restricted to a 20mile radius.

Different then some of the mod's I have seen. They didn't fill up the bed of the truck with batteries (which left me wondering why use a truck?).

I do wonder about the range, since they said mountain area, and they didn't mention hauling.
I am interested in the tech, since electric vehicles are old technology and the only way we are ever going to get better is to play around. I would love some day to see some different hybrids (takeoff torque of the electrics and then switch the motor on).

No, she's not old; she's in her prime.
