Re: Everything is bigger in Texas ;)

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!

Re: Everything is bigger in Texas ;)

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!

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

Re: Everything is bigger in Texas ;)

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.
