Yeah, I've had "lowriders" pass me (who didn't even know me) drop their sh*t in front of me (and other traffic) and shoot that sh*t all over.
Not the wisest move, for someone like me may pass their sh*t and then stomp on the brakes, sending my trailer hitch to go into their radiator!
Well, I've felt like doing that sometimes.
I have to say I also think JACKED UP TRUCKS like I see here in Phoenix, the ones jacked up 2 feet, have funky a$$ rims (NOT for offroad) and that you KNOW never leave asphault, are ALMOST as useless as lowriders.
And when I say LOWRIDERS, I mean the ones lowered to the ground, shave the lights to make UGLIER ones, and the bed is cut open to accomodate the rear axle, etc. Can you say "a useless truck"?
I do see some modded trucks around here, rock climbers and the such. The ones you can TELL get driven off road, have battle scars, etc. YOu gotta respect those mods when they are actually USED!
I would like to lift mine slightly enough to gain some clearance since I've wacked my sh*t allready, but I want to keep most of the awesome handling I have. So as for me I'll keep a truck I can actually GO OFF ROAD in and also be able to RUN OVER lowriders who get in my way.

I guess I must have a useless truck then. Since my truck is lowered the ground, I plan on putting in some different taillights and my bed is cut out to make room for my axle. Its funny because I can still haul as much weight as I could stock. My buddy can still tow his jet boat or tow a 67 Chevy pickup. And my friends dually can tow my 62 cadillac hearse which weighs around 7000 lbs. So just because its sitting an inch off the ground doesn't make it useless.
NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO OFFROAD! And your truck will never be able to run over another truck without major modification. Trust me we have tried. Keep dreaming and I'll keep dragging.
And the guy that railed on you, you must have done something to piss him off.

Don't have to stick words in your mouth. He11, I'll just have to agree with you.

Here we go again... The top of my tailgate is exactly 39 inches off the ground, How big of tires would you need to run me over if I were in front of you?? 44's sure as hell wouldn't do it. 50's wouldn't even do it. So how would you run over a "lowrider" dak?...You wouldn't, not without a "true" monster truck, or an army tank. If you passed me, (which you couldn't do if you had to) and slammed on your brakes, I would still stop before hitting you. Upgraded brakes are sweet, especially when my truck only weighs 3684 pounds. As for handling....I will admit that 4x4 daks handle good, but deffinately not "AWESOME" like you say. If you had the best handling 4x4 dak on the road, my truck would still out handle yours. Stop digging on us, we wont try to race you over a creek, or through the woods, but dont tell us that you will "pass" us and hit your brakes when you know damn well your truck wont keep up out on the streets.
