Raised (or is it lifted?) Trucks

What's with all the lifted trucks I have been seeing the last few years here in Southern California?These guys with the 8 inch lift kitted full sized new or late model trucks cruising down the freeway at about 80MPH while talking to who knows who on a cell phone just piss me off.Is this just a California thing?Thanks for letting me vent. I think I'll go lower my beater pick-up just to be different.

Never know when yer gonna have to do some rock crawling on the freeway ya know [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]!

Most them guys are just suffering from wee-willie syndrome. Easy to tell them apart from real 4wd owners. These guys will usually have about 30 chrome shocks, TSL thornbird tires (very aggresive looking tread, any real offroader knows they are worse than slicks for offroading) And the only dirt that guy has ever seen is the stuff hes hiding from the IRS.

Where have you been??? every 10 years the cycle starts again.I've had plenty of monster 4x4's.However I just about lived at Glamis and some times Dumont Dunes.There are real one's and the B.S.one's.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_spin.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_spin.gif[/img][img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_spin.gif[/img]

i like big trucks, i can't stand lower riders. I think it's a way to keep people from cutting you off... think about it, they cut you off, you drive over'em

I guess these guys are using the cell phones to make a manicure appointment,right?

Lowered duallies make about as much sense as these jacked up jobs.At least a lowered truck's headlights don't blind ya thru the rear view when they are behind ya.

You got a problem with hillbillies?



I drive 85 in the left, but I don't own a cell phone [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
But I also do some heavy off-roading when I am not driving on the highway.

Yeah,It's sad that some JERKS gotta ruin it for all others about the head light thing.Most of them DO get caught by police cruisers,the police do not put up with that head light BS at all.All 4x4er's that I know don't play that game.All of them (including me)belong to family off-road clubs.It's just like a #hevy Nova 17 year old with gear drive racing around the high school parking lot.(I did it with a 67 coupe back then but we won't talk about that).Most people get what they deserve.

Here at Edwards it's everything lowered rather than raised. My husband just saw the latest lowered one go by the house. He didn't know what kind of car but said it was a newer wagon. There's a duallie out here with all the hydraulics and a few small pickups and then you have the fartomatics that are lowered to the ground. I'm with Justjim on the duallies, I think it's a total waste of a nice truck. I do have to admit that when he stopped to check the progress on my galaxie I had to fight the urge to say 'let me see it do it's thing'. &lt;G> I've seen a couple cars but just thought it would be different to see a truck do it so that I could really get a good look at what was going on.
