Okay I sorta feel like this is brilliant
It’s an 80’s Bronco II on chrome steelies, 35’s, and full float axles. I’m guessing actual utility won over style here.
It’s pretty innovative, actually.
Yeah, that truck is the epitome of “IDGAF I just want to go off-roading.”
My dad had an '88 or '89 Bronco II. He managed to roll it twice in the first 8 years of owning it. They were so rollover prone that Geico actually stopped covering them back in the '90s.
So this person putting it on those wide axles probably made it significantly safer.
This is definitely a temporary install to pass a vehicle inspection. Tires aren’t allowed to extend past the fenders, so the kiddie pool fenders get them past that rule.
Lifted trucks here with super wide tire will either have a second set of stock tires/rims that they will install before they go and get a safety check, or they attach cheapo “fenders” that get pulled off immediately after the check.
I haven’t ever seen kiddie pool fenders before, I usually see plastic landscape edging instead.
Are they a special needs person?
You’d have to be to install kiddy pool plastic on your vehicle like that … and to park in a disabled person parking spot.
Oh shit, didn’t even notice that. We ‘could’ assume things about the car owner but I personally wouldn’t do that because we know nothing about the owner besides this weird car mod.
But that is the only parking lot that fits my car!
Seriously, if that owner is not disabled, give him tow priority one. If only to improve the view.
Alternative take on car pooling
Are those kiddy paddling pools?
Who knew they were made out of fenders all along?
Yes.
Not anymore!
That shade of “kiddie pool blue” is unmistakable. If they were at least spray painted black, it would still be bad, but not so obviously bad.
This is just so they can drive it to the trail and take em off

If it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.
Using a steak knife and vodka to cut your testicles off so you won’t have children will work.
It’s still stupid.
I think the original phrase is “if it LOOKS stupid but it works, it’s not stupid” but I’m not a phraseologist. I leave that to more cunning linguists.
Still, sometimes stupid solutions are the most simple, and therefore effective.
Okay thats actually cool. I wouldn’t even bother painting it, it looks good as is.

If they keep the mud from flying up the sides they are doing their job.
Often times they’re a legal work around. Places have laws saying tires can’t extend passed body/fender lines so they throw cheap fenders to be compliant that can be removed easily for offroad. This guy though, no clue what his plan is.
