Re: question for the 4x4 guys
I heard that a lot of the our old restored or refurbished lifted trucks that get thrashed on regularly were once new trucks with lifts and fancy wheels and purty things on them too. So even though it may seem sensless to put money into the goodies that will never see the trail there will be some young guy or gal in 6-10 years that want a lifted truck to go play in and waalaa here is a used truck in good shape that they can afford to go beat on and then in twenty or thirty years it will come to other owners that will fix it up and use or abuse it for times to come til eventually in the 2030's some guy or gal sees a 2006 silverado just like his/her grandpa or dad had when they were a kid and buy it and restore it lifted or not and they will either use it or not. It is a natural cycle folks. My own grandfather rest his soul just could not understand why I wanted to restore my 67. It was just some junker to him just like his 81 he had at the time a truck was for work and then the bone yard. But he sure had fond memories of his only new car 46 ford coupe. Its only money and as long as its not yours who cares. I like the show and no go trucks just as well as the rusty beaters on 35's with 3 colors primer for paint. Its all about individuality. Who wants to be the same as the next guy. Nice used trucks gotta come from somewhere.
