Clearly the truck is bagged and he can raise it for speed bumps. I love the dedication this guy put into his truck. Easily $10k+. I'm not crazy about the flames, but hey. It's his and I respect that.
Can someone explain to be why lowering a truck is idiotic?
----------
What if I came out and said lifting a truck is idiotic? You know what kind of shit storm that would cause? This forum has more members with lifted trucks. I get it. But don't just go out and call dudes idiots for lowering their truck. You'll piss off a good sized group.
All this coming from a soon to be slammed V8 swap guy who also has an Explorer that I plan on lifting a bit.

Re: Would you?
Absolutely I would. TONS of work and dedication has been involved in it's build. I respect it. If you don't, you're not a true automotive enthusiast. Just a whiner in a kilt looking for his lost pot of gold.

Yup. So do I. |
And yet you link a magazine's website that is pretty much dedicated to the American mini truck lifestyle/culture.....where darn near 100% are laying on their pinch welds.
Hmm..

Lol I don't even remember how I came across the pics, I Googled something on the Ranger and that was one of the links in the list, I don't know the site. Just saw the pics and thought jeez that looks awful, coz I personally don't like it. It's my opinion, not gospel. I didn't go looking for a site all about modding trucks just to take the piss out of it, just saw pics on a random link and thought it looked crap. That is all.
----------
By the way I even mentioned I appreciate the work gone into it.
Just not my thing at all. No sir.

So you posted a link of this guy's truck that he's invested a shitload of money into because you don't like it just to see if other people on here would shit all over it too?
What if the owner comes on here and sees this thread? What if someone took pictures of your truck and a group of people shit on it? Because I know I'd be pissed if it was my truck. You would be too.

No, the title of the thread is 'would you?'. I personally wouldn't. I'm not shitting on anything, just saying I hate it. Some of you agree, some don't. That's life. Get over yourself.
