Re: Nice truck, not mine

Style today is to drop a truck but I remember and still appreciate a good gap between top of tire and fender opening. I don't think the 2wd AD's in the linked thread look bad although I think the truck without running boards looks a bit funny.

If a truck is swapped onto a 4X4 chassis and the axles are too wide the saving grace for me is usually aggressive tires and ugly panels, suggesting something that actually plays hard or works. If I'm looking at a pretty truck I usually appreciate the efforts to make the tires fit inside the fenders.

The truck above obviously gets used. The paint isn't too shiny, the tire treads are worn down, and there's a ladder attached to the roof rack. Very cool to see a truck still being used as a truck.
