hmm, id say someone who got a little too far "in the zone."

No body ever get near my truck with a cigarette AND if you just smoked one, your @$$ is riding in the bed.

I had one of my helpers somehow drop a butt in my work truck and I smelled that thing for days!

I hate it when people tack on unnecessary mods to their truck, like chrome pieces and 'flair'. I'm a minimalist when it comes to modding my truck. I don't put **** on to the body to enhance it, it looks fine as is. The less clutter the better.

I've seen guys that put on chrome door handles, chrome window molding, visors on the top and bottom of the windshield, stickers everywhere, those 'vents' on the fenders, etc. I want to gouge my eyes out when I see trucks like that.

I can understand lifting 2WD trucks. Hell, I had a 2000 supercab that was 2wd, and I was going to do the same lift I have on my truck now on it. Some people like the look/having that extra ground clearance.

Lowering a 4x4 though, I don't quite understand that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like there'd be a lot more work to lower a 4x4, and you lose a lot of functionality with that. Atleast with lifting a 4x2, it's a helluva lot cheaper (less **** to lift) and you don't lose any functionality.

Lowering a 4x4 is a lot different than slamming a 4x4. A 2" by 4" drop on a 4x4 still leaves functionality when needed off road.

Oh I totally understand its a personal preference thing. One time where I used to race RC's there was a big jacked up 4WD Dodge stuck on flat ground in the somewhat muddy parking lot. I asked him if he put it in 4WD and he told me it was 2WD drive. I didnt know what to say. Had never really seen anyone do that before. So I got in my 4runner I had at the time and pulled him out. He seemed very embarrassed about it. :o Sorry, just seemed odd to me. Too each their own however.

yeah I've been that guy before. At the same time though, I've been out a few times and had to pull some 4x4 guys out back when I had my 4x2. I can remember this one time there were these two guys with these sick rangers on 38's. One guy had completely flooded his motor and was up **** creek. The other guy was **** drunk and managed to get his ranger stuck in this big water hole. It felt pretty good to take a completely stock 4x2 supercab back there and yank out that one ranger like it was nothing.

Thanks, this one is a 4x4. I was talking about my old 4x2 extended cab, which I may or may not still have pictures of on here.

edit: guess I don't

Mud flaps. Mine came with the little fender flar mud flap things. That was the first thing I took off. But I really hate the huge 4x4's with full size truck flaps. And any truck with them. LAME!!!!!

those rim size things people stick on the sides of their truck. There was a Titan around here that had this chrome 22" thing on the side of his truck to show how big his wheels were. annoyed me so much.
