I have no problem with lifted trucks. Most of the 80's I drove W100's, one with 35's and one with 38's. The 35's fit with no lift kit. I lived to hear the 360 scream as the thermoquad sucked down the $1.50 gas and I blasted threw the south Louisiana mud! The trucks I drove were FUNCTIONAL as a truck. I could drive through muddy pastures and launch my boat to get to the best honey holes to fish.

Yup, I bet there is a graph in there that goes:
height + johnson size / rim x lift = overall insecurity.

I love lifted trucks. It's the way they are styling these wanna be off-road trucks that is driving me crazy.

There it is...racial bias towards cars again.......
is there a way to tell a 64 from a 65 and 66 apart??? like 67-9 each had something different every year and the differences get detailed ...but I was never sure about 64-6

none of the cars are safe either. I don't know how that would pass inspections...

The Donk scene has certainly taken it's way into the show truck world.
The extreme camber and wide wheel on skinny tires comes from Japanese car cultures, making caricature examples of racecars, for aesthetics.
It has absolutely nothing to do with performance, any more than a rear spoiler on a Civic.
It's known as bippu, or VIP.
Some of the more mild cars have performance in mind, while others simply don't care.
The sticker on the tire thing is new on me. Reminds me of people leaving holographic stickers on their baseball hats.
Bippu, kyusha, shakotan, zokusha and bosozoku all have different flavors, but it's all the same scene, sort of like the Lowrider,
donk and show truck (used to be mini-truck) scene.
It's all sort of fun to look at, but I couldn't live with myself owning one.

around here, they jack their diesels up, tune them, stick a big pipe out the back through the bed.
It seems the bigger the pipe, the more smoke and twangy country music is the thing.
Boy, do they bellow out the smoke, I'm shocked the Ohio State Highway Patrol doesn't write tickets. It seems they love to do that.
A buddy of mine had a culvert pipe in the back of his truck, he pulled up to group of these guys pointed to the back and said "I win".
He said he thought it was a contest.
I don't know which is worse, Kenny Chesney or Tu Pac. They both suck if got hear them when you don't want to.
