Smart Runner build; Off Road Smart Car

[@bleepinjeep]

Had that same feeling driving the holy grail jag out of sema, more oogling than all the lambos combined…. Might have to put a smart car on the build list!

[@BigTireGarage]

Pretty sure the Jaaaaag turned the most heads

[@kelvinelrick807]

31s!!! They look huge! My Tacoma has 31s right now and they look small. I guess I haven't seen a smart car in such a long time I forgot how small they are.

[@BigTireGarage]

So small

[@randytravis3998]

best thing to happen to a smart car .. job well done

[@jrally]

That's how I feel about my two Celicas, lots of pictures, lots of questions...

[@shanewright6958]

It’s too cool 👍👍

[@number1yota]

I'd like to see one of the Smart Roadsters (that we didn't get in the US) done like this.

[@BigTireGarage]

That would be pretty RaD

[@Chicanoverland]

Loved it Ian. So …intelligent of you HA! Now you have to make ramps and haul it on the back of a pickup with a flatbed!

[@acardena13]

Probably a great get around rig for King of the Hammers.

[@BigTireGarage]

It could be for sure

[@garychaiken808]

Great job. Thank you 😊

[@ChadLisonbee]

That’s really freaking cool.

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks....its a fun rig to have

[@nitrotmann]

That skit was great!

[@Mrakofalltrades]

Super cool little build!

[@BigTireGarage]

Glad you think so!

[@ea95401]

I saw this car the night after I watched this, rolling down hwy580 in Oakland ca at 5am. So wired

[@johngrant1337]

Car is outstanding , thanks

[@Sparkystacoma]

Swap a hayabusa motor into it. Turbo if your crazy

[@BigTireGarage]

I have seen those..theyvare RAD

[@OriginalMomo]

Well…. At least you don’t have to step down into it anymore…. 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

[@BigTireGarage]

True...as I get older the lowered cars seem like "work"

[@benjy6358]

​ @BigTireGarage absolutely..literally just sold my 'sportier' car for something that easier to step in and out of..i'm only 35..😂

[@aarontena]

Ian! Have you ever seen the offroad smart car from Gotham Garage? Im not saying you should one up them but....

[@mneeley7496]

Was hoping you had figured out the trans /gearing so we could copy your resolution.

[@StormbornJKU]

That’s hilarious!

[@ledheadkustomplastic3442]

😂👍🇺🇲 I'D DRIVE IT TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF!! 🇺🇲

[@charleswakelin7074]

More great content !Thanks

[@BigTireGarage]

More to come!

[@garnott1887]

Smiles per gallon must be off the charts with that lift, but curious what the miles per gallon are looking like?

[@BigTireGarage]

I ran rough fuel economy numbers and it really wasn't that bad...If I remember it was roughly 30mpg

[@garnott1887]

Thanks for the reply, Ian - yeah, that’s not bad at all. Have a great day, and God bless

[@EricBartel-q4m]

I love it!

[@davidchappelle6480]

Hayabusa motor !! 😁

[@FredieFarmer60]

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 love this.. awesome look and build

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@wvjeepguy8178]

I bet if you just dropped the tires down to 29" that it would make a major improvement in drivability.

[@bandittelevision]

Do you stick your finger in a light socket before filming?😅

[@BigTireGarage]

Nope

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Id Drive it 🤣🤣🤣

[@waltmeddings682]

Needs a turbo

[@BigTireGarage]

I have been told that...and who knows...maybe in the future

[@Mwharleymike]

Can you lift a mini cooper

[@BigTireGarage]

Have you seen the one @rudysadventureanddesign made! It's pretty rad

[@g_force3857]

Does Ian work for someone else too ? I can only remember him from Power Nation ….

[@BigTireGarage]

I work for myself...Left Powernation 6 years ago, to relaunch Fourwheeler TV for Motortrend, now I make Build For Off Road for Discovery/HBO Max

[@JMGilberto]

Want.

[@MUCKFOOT399]

[@BigTireGarage]

Thanks for the visit

[@joshuaforrester8252]

I hope you don’t think you are original. I lifted mine 8 years ago.

[@Yourfriendwasmagnificent]

Would you like a medal or a plaque of honor?

[@troysmoliak4924]

​@@YourfriendwasmagnificentNice l o l.

[@BigTireGarage]

Never said I was...as a matter of fact I said that I saw one at SEMA built by FabLab
