How do you guys feel about lifted trucks?

^ I can hate on a vehicle when theyre backing up and dont see me because of their ride height or the annoying lights again because of ride height blinding me on the freeway. SOOO annoying

Cars don't drive themselves!

I pulled up behind some dude in a lowered car and my headlights were pointing right at his rearview mirrors that I literally lit up the entire inside like a cop's spotlight.

The dude flipped me off so I switched to my parking lights until the lights turned green. Now that I'm older there is no need to sweat the small stuff.

The same can be said for those one lowered cars who take a minute to drive over a speed bump or the idiot who drives by a crowd during black friday reving by with his bov... oh wait, that's you Guff! Who's the douchbag now!

Doesnt matter if the car drives itself or not I dislike lifted trucks because of that reason. Youre saying lifted truck = douche but it can also be lifted truck = chill guy. Not all lifted truck peeps are douches. The topic states how do you feel about lifted trucks not how do you feel about the people that drive them. Its not safe to make general assumptions about a certain group of people.

I'm sure youre a chill guy but even you notice you light up peoples cars like a squad car. I would have been glad and thankful if your turned to your parking lights until it turned green. It shouldnt take an insult to get you to do it though. It really is a safety issue that is easily avoidable.

When I pull up behind a regular car (not lowered), they don't have that problem. To even up the discussion, don't lower your car so you won't get blinded.

My truck is only lifted 2.75" with the Donahoe/Icon front coilovers and add-a-leaf and Donahoe/Icon rear shocks. I've been on trails and took it offroading.

What I dislike in regards to lifted trucks is when they put the Procomp and Fabtech lifts. It lifts the truck high but leaves the axles near the stock height so you're not really gaining any ground clearance.

Very true.

Hah! I wasn't revving! Just driving!

But you make a good point, I shouldn't generalize about a type of car because of their drivers.

I suppose then, this should be a thread about how much we hate douchebags who can't drive their car, be it raised or lowered.

But man it's hard not to stereotype people!!!

And the testicles have to stop, it's just inappropriate.

I live in NY so I hardly ever see a lifted truck. I don't like them personally. When I do see them they are clean and never seen dirt. Like they aren't used for any purpose but to look intimidating. But what do I know I'm a Yankee.

I bought mine when they were still called Donahoes but I think they changed the Icons after the "issue" and now offer them with external reservoirs. I just got my shocks serviced a local shop with new oil and charge. I would like to go longtravel but it's $$$.

I remember seeing some pics of your FJ. Do you have an aftermarket bumper on yours? I really wanted to with an Demello bumper. They look nice on the FJ and he made a newer one for the Tacomas.



The 3 hoop one is bad ass, especially in black powdercoat just like the sliders.

Yup, rant about him being a spoiled little brat and his non-disciplining Dad.

I saw a car when I was in Mission Valley and unfortunately, that memory can never be erased.

This is the crap I imagine. Dumbasses with purple HID retrofit garbage in reflector housings, psuedo-offroad tires that would either pop a bead trying to do their job or allow the monochromatic high-dollar wheels to get scuffed up, can't-park-for-shit but that's totally because "I don't give a fuck!" and not that they just can't-park-for-shit.

Okay, so maybe that last bit wasn't exactly a sentence. I'm just reliving one of those ****wads backing into my B13 and totaling it.

[VenomRush]

im always scared to drive next to one since my car is so small and lowered, i always assume they dont see me

[Mr.Jay]

meh some are cool

just hate it when they are lifted and have HID pointing directly into the rear view and then ride your ass while blinding you
