sorry that i don't have pics yet (i need to dig it out somewhere), but i was at hobbytown looking at a tamiya subaru brat, and i told my dad that i wanted it for christmas or something, but the only problem was that i had to build it. he said that that's how his old monster truck came. i instantly thought, "cool! it's hobby grade, maybe even tamiya!" anyways, it's a black(idk if he painted or it came like that) pickup truck (i think an early model ford ranger) monster truck/crawler/swamper, idk, i just know it has big tires. any idea what this is?
