yeeha it moves, and does it have to be lowered to be cool???

[GmtGmt]

personaly i hate lowered trucks, im a sucker for stock hight and lifted trucks but only to a certin point where they stop being pratical

just like these 2 the ford useless for anything and the hardbody is just not a truck anymore for me



but build your ride like you want it not what we want it to look like

i love conversion trucks with funky 80s and 90s paint job Fiberglass addons and alloy dee zee running boards. how many here like those? not a single one but that dosent stop me from building what i want

So no it dont have to be lowered to be cool

[STOCKISH]

I agree, the Ford is useless like that(practically) and the Hardbody was never a "truck" to me anyway. By the way, lifted Jeeps kick ass too! i just sold my YJ Fuel injected 327, sm465/205, Dana 60/70, 42" Pitbull Rockers, etc, etc. Will build another one when I finish my Cummins Chevy crew cab!

[SCOTI]

OT, but.... I'd love to do a mid 70's Jeep w/a 5.3/5spd for a DD. That minimal weight & the efficiency of the LS motor should net some decent mpg's as long as you didn't go crazy w/the tire OD/gearing.

I do think real men drive with 2 feet or at least should know how to drive a stick

Heres the catch.....if you do a static drop, there will allways be someone dropped lower or bagged...allways.....if you do a lift kit, there will allways be someone lifted higher...allways....but stock height is allways stock height

does that make sense?...lol

Gotta love stick shift, it turns an old tired truck into a race car!

Wow!! Well now that you got off that your chest,

I never understood why people insist on the beauty pageant opening line, "I personally believe".... of course it's personally, you just said I for Christ's sake!!

[broey]

all I know is, I have never seen a stock truck and thought to myself "that looks cool"

how does slamming a truck make it a rice burner? and why does slamming a truck mean its cant be used as a truck? does every truck need to be offroad? cant I load my bed with stuff and haul it around on streets? I have had my truck bed completely filled, and my truck also lays frame, and it caused absolutely no issues at all. in fact, I could argue with all the frame modifications I have made, and the addition of a rack and pinion, my truck is stronger and drives better and handles better than a stock truck. I have seen subarus that handle offroad better than a lifted truck.

I would appreciated it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth. I never said offroad or lifted and again this is what i think... don't take it so seriously i never said it caused issues i think you missed the whole point of my post. I like my trucks stock... but i said do whatever you want to yours so calm down.

i said think... not believe but what i mean is I think this not what other have said and i agree with or were influenced by

[QUOTE=mdb;4803468]Gotta love stick shift, it turns an old tired truck into a race car!




it does help some, but i mean more that it gives you more control and better mpg and varying other benefits.

and for anyone else who wants to disagree with me... but whats the point of a message board if you can't voice your opinion...

Same difference. A person reading or listening to you doesn't need you to explain to him/her that you are speaking from a personal stand point/point of view when you just used the word "I" .....even a stupid one with a lowered truck

If you like a stock or lifted truck, more power to ya. But please be civil and respect others style and especially their intellect.

slam that ****!!!!!

yeah my truck was a stick... someday when they invent the self changing clutch, or the infinite centerforce clutch ill put a stick back in but getting old now and laying on the floor isnt near as much fun as it used to be...lol

Of course, the day is soon to arrive, when somebody will be driving a square-bodied SWB at it's perfectly stock height, and somebody will say, "I love how you raised your truck up like that---I think they all sit way too low coming from the factory"...

[Goldfinger]

I found if you want a utilitarian truck keep it stock because the higher stance of the rear helps it take load. lowered trucks are mainly for show as many have been weakened. Lifted trucks are for fun and often people compensating.

[N2TRUX]

Discuss it politely, or I lock it down and issue infractions.

[willett]

heck no!!!

the fact that its a square body with some custom mods done to it makes it BADA$$ !!!
