Low rider anyone?
I haven't ever liked low riders and have always thought that they were a waste of a good truck. I live out in the boonies with no paved roads so if I had a low rider the undercarriage would be in a ditch! :p Im just wonderin if anyone else agrees with me or if im just nutty

I agree, you're nutty.
If I were you, I would move to where there are paved roads. ![]()

Just a matter of taste. If your truck is the way you like, then it is very cool.

Ben, work truck and off road truck dont go hand in hand. work trucks like heavy springs, and off road trucks like light springs. if you're just bashing through the mud your idea will work though.

I must agree that's the first time I heard that phraze as well. Oh, well, isn't this about originality and indiduality.

2wd - keep it stock, lower it, or air bag it
4wd - lift it with bigger tires Thats what I would do, I have a 2wd so I am shooting for air bags.

For the record, we're not lowriders. A lowrider has 13" wire wheels, hydros, paint w/ excessive flake, chain steering wheel, velour interior, etc.. Call us one of the following---Sport truck, street truck, or custom truck owners.

I vote for the lowered crowd. Dont know why its a waste of a truck. I have a finished oak bed in my truck with a 4/6 drop. I dont haul nothin in it. Its just a toy. I have a 02 silverado to haul or tow things ( rhino liner). Iam real carefull when I haul stuff in that. If I had a truck that I was going to do heavy hauling or abuse. I wouldnt even wash it.
