If you only knew what my wife says about guys with big old lifted trucks...

my4by2 · 06-06-2011, 08:36 PM

W-A-Y too much.....

Cool form of advertisement if you ask me, but I personally don't like the "way too much lift for the tires" look. It definitely gets people's attention though, and I bet a lot of people know the shop strictly for that truck. I support it!

84SierraClassic · 06-06-2011, 10:50 PM

That's perfect advertisement, way over the top so everyone sees it.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 06-07-2011, 12:04 AM

Yea that's pretty sweet and a good idea as well. Way to much for a driver but it defiantly would get plenty of attention from possible customers that's for sure!

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-07-2011, 01:47 AM

Pretty cool!

tantrumpipeline · 06-07-2011, 02:15 AM

And here I've been calling my DD F@!% "the Compensator" hahaha I have nothing on that unit, pretty wild custom setup

3r!c84 · 06-07-2011, 02:21 AM

needs more lift..

West Texas Z · 06-07-2011, 09:38 AM

Forgot to add the other one.

Papa-J · 06-07-2011, 09:42 AM

I'd stop at their shop just to check out the truck.. advertisement works.

Low87 · 06-07-2011, 10:52 AM

Is the first one even a driver or just an ornament? Second one is pretty cool. Good advertising.

Both drive fine

jitteryguy · 06-07-2011, 01:28 PM

there is a stero shop in Hopkinsville,Ky. that has a old F350 quadcab 4X4 on mabey 53" tire's. people from as far as 100 mile's away know the shop if you mention the truck.

iluvmy72 · 06-08-2011, 08:36 AM

Texas has off-roading trails?

Davidmichael · 06-08-2011, 08:42 AM

Smart business person there. If it were me I would have my shops name plastered on something crazy like that. Also on all my vehicles. You need a nitch to stand out, and that huge truck does it.

Now personally I think it's stupid as a truck. too much lift. But it's not a truck any more. It's a billboard.
