Not safe on the road at all, no clue if the vehicle actually has air bags, etc. In the open cab, there are two- cylinder tanks, one with a label showing Linde Gas and Equipment (UN1001) located within/on the back of a truck/vehicle seeming to be improperly stored and the smaller cylinder tank (UN1001) is not vertical and angled, held on by a fabric strap, side by side with the other cylinder tank, with welding, electrical, and other equipment around them. Used to long distance travel from Indiana to Kentucky without proper registration, expired tags, and constantly causing problems with all electrical components, brakes, ABS system, 4x4 not running right, deft tank always empty, bc of the modifications done to it, no stack to release exhaust, vehicle lags, it’s completely just an incomplete and a hazard to every single person on the road.
