Thanks man, I really appreciate the compliment. Glad to hear that you think it IS sick rather than MAKES you sick!

Here are some DONK that I almost (thought about) bought just to lower it back down and put some 17's on. I never did go look at it...

[big_al_71]

I have seen some vehicles here in miami that I just dont know where people have their heads and I will leave it at that. I think we should start a thread as to the ugliest custom car or truck you see in your neck of the woods. I know hands down I will have price winners....

I'll shake on that bet.

believe me stupidity, and bad taste has no geographical boundry!!

[my67chevytruck]

I would roll the truck for sure...
The elky is way overboard for me however....

REmember WE ARE FAMILY...whether they are lowerd or raised, rat rod or show paint, DD's or trailer queens, we all love our TRUCkS, and that is all that matters....... .

This is starting to turn into a DONK thread. It was much more entertaining before. Please don't corrupt this thread any more!





That is all.

[dieselarmy13]

AMEN Brother! Thats why I posted a pic of mine, take your best shot, I'm still gonna drive it because its what I want! People bash bagged trucks around here on a daily basis, but Im not ashamed!

[70k52wd]

They just Donk do it for me. I like big shiny wheels, but...My biggest question is, Can a Donk do a panic stop. I doubt it. If one of those things are behind me, I let them go around. I could never be convinced that they are safe to drive. JMO

We buy, customize, horde, scavenge parts, trade, sell and sometimes switch up the year of our trucks to suit our desires. Opinions are okay but if you didn't pay for another man or womans truck, then you should keep your negative comments to yourselves. This thread is an open invitation to poke fun at what others have worked so hard to build or envision one day for themselves.
There are at least 20 to 30 trucks on each model specific forum of this site that I drool over or would love to have as a dream vehicle. Lowered, rat rod, donk, or total rust bucket. They should all be appreciated and their owners should be praised for their efforts in holding onto a piece of history.
I personally hang out with the donk riders, the rat rod guys, the hardcore 4 wheeling gear heads, the stock owners, the ground scrapers, ford, dodge,import guys as well as being the former president of a huge sport bike club.
The coolest thing about hanging out with all the different variety of truck and car owners is that they all taught me a thing or two when it came to fixing up my truck and I didn't judge them for what they drove. It is an awesome feeling to see a person take pride in what they own and that includes the donk riders because they envisioned what they want and to them, that is their dream vehicle.
So how about ending this thread and going back to doing what we do best. Building and maintaining some awesome rides and most important...bugging the crap outta each other with truck questions.

lowered trucks............. punks!!!!!!! you just cant trust em.

[leddzepp]

My SWB is lowered 2.5" in the front with dropped spindles, and 2" out back with blocks. That way it is lowered, but keeps the factory proportions.

[bobbo]

As it has already been said, everyone is entitled to their opinions and preferences. I love EVERY truck on this board! The time and money that is put into them all, whether a six month build or six year build, is beautiful! Not everyone is going to like what each individual is doing, but, again as already said, are you footing the bill? Everyone keep up the fine work on your projects and customize or don't, drive it as it is or make a show truck. Just get them done so we can see!

[Ford Assassin]

Mine is bagged all the way around, so 'if' I get tired of the lowered stance (I can't see that happening...) I can put it back to stock height (or higher) anytime I feel like it.

[naughty240]

Funny... I feel the same way when I see anything at stock height. Low is a way of life. Hoping to get my car and truck on the ground soon.

years ago a local racer took a 72 4wd and lowered it to look like a 2-4 drop on a 2wd. you had to really look to know it was a 4x4 was the best looking 72 i had ever seen. he also bought a brand new 87 s-10 and put in a 383 5 spd and ford 9 inch rear. coil overs all around. was his shop truck. hell of a nice guy great fabricator!

[beautimus]

Since this thread seems to be about personal preference and not bashing our differences, i'll give my 2 cents worth.
Me, i gotta go with what seems sensible, to me
i want to use my trucks so i don't want to lower it . In fact if i go to look at a truck to purchase it, i'll pass up a lowered one without a second look.
I don't want a 4 wheel drive because it ain't practical for me. And yes i will modify my trucks but it will be with the aim that it can be returned to stock in a weekend. The notion that its your truck cut it up any way you want makes me cringe. after the current generation dies off, which trucks will be viewed as having the most potential? the stockers every time.
remember the old lead sleds of the fifties, louvered hoods, slammed to the ground, modified grills from other cars, frenched headlights, and sunken antennas. today, there a curiosity, but not sought after. Thats where the slammed trucks are gonna be, in 20 years. and those frames that a lot of folks have put so much work into to have them z'ed. well, somebodys gonna have to find a new frame to fix them.
Ive seen several older rides, 30's stuff that have had frames cut up and grafted together with later front halves, because the builder wouldn't go to the trouble of adapting suspension parts properly, i have walked away from those too.
what about the 30's roadsters that had the frame rails bobbed so that the body could be channeled over the frames. back in the eightys, people were buying stamped frame horns and welding that metal back in to put their frames back to stock. So my opinion is to look down the road alittle and think how cool will it be then.
