Tywais Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Looked like he just parked it and it fell over. Maybe a gusty bit of wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomadJoe Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Looks like about 12 leaf springs on the rear axle. Not stock for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some river rocks delivered with a Toyota Vigo which didn't seem to have issues with the weight. When asked they told me the suspension was modified to carry a load of 5 Tonnes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rene123 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I often wondered how they got so much on a small truck. Now that I can count the number of leaf springs I can see how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 A lot of the strange things on the road are a result of the hand to mouth mindset of a large portion of the population. Among my work crews' trucks and motorcycles, I think 1/4 of a tank is the equivalent of a full tank. If the fuel warning light comes on it means they need to avoid hills and most certainly need to take a shortcut on the wrong side of the road if possible. And that U-turn a few hundred meters down the road (as opposed to cutting across 4-8 lanes of traffic)? ... that's a luxury for the "rich" people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancealot Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 These two flipped at the gas station because there it is required to make very sharp turns to reach the desired pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the safety aware red flag on the back of the load as a warning signal ... . David, believe it or not I've actually SEEN that truck, or at least somebody with a load of wheelbarrows. But I saw it reversing backwards up an off-ramp because the overpass was labelled at 5.15M. Probably halfway between Lamchabang and the airport. I've told many of my friends about it and it was my best story up until I saw two horses two months ago on the back of a Vigo in Jomtien - no frame around the cargo area and the horses were bracing themselves for the bumps and turns like seasoned veterans.
