In the hills it was tall skinnies, winch, headache rack, and maybe you'd notice headers and a deeper tone from the pipes.
Things out here really haven’t changed much, I’m surrounded by the Rockies in three different directions and the trucks sound pretty much the same, just in modern form.

I thought it was kind of weird when I first came here to see all the headache racks. 90% of trucks new and old here have headache racks. Lots of ranch hand bumpers and winches too. Don’t forget the flatbreads, lots and lots of flatbreads too. I still rock my east coast style more often than not.
There is a certain coolness to look of the trucks around here. It’s pretty normal to see cattle/horse Ranchers and rodeo people rolling around in High country’s, denali’s, king ranch’s, and Laramie Longhorns, with a brand new aluminum flat bed and winch bumper, working those loaded trucks like they we’re built to be worked. There’s not anywhere near as many garage queens out here, as there are at home. Trucks do work here.
