Low rider anyone? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GMC 1500 · 02-16-2004, 11:38 PM

I haven't ever liked low riders and have always thought that they were a waste of a good truck. I live out in the boonies with no paved roads so if I had a low rider the undercarriage would be in a ditch! :p Im just wonderin if anyone else agrees with me or if im just nutty

phantom dually · 02-16-2004, 11:40 PM

Your Nutty!!

**swervin ervin** · 02-16-2004, 11:42 PM

I agree, you're nutty.

If I were you, I would move to where there are paved roads.

Free88 · 02-16-2004, 11:45 PM

All that money and time that you would put into a low rider, Why would youwant to drive it on gravel roads. I agree "Nutty"

Russell · 02-16-2004, 11:57 PM

I won't slam my truck, and take her pride away

I guess I'm nutty to, but I like hitting speed bumps at 40 mph without any fear of taking my tranny or something out, lol

nuttier than a squrriel turd.

low 84 · 02-17-2004, 12:04 AM

your nutty

Lynx · 02-17-2004, 12:07 AM

I like both! I want a nice street truck for summer cruizing and an nice big work/offroading truck!

DCRANER · 02-17-2004, 12:14 AM

Just a matter of taste. If your truck is the way you like, then it is very cool.

*1FaastC10* · 02-17-2004, 12:22 AM

Ben, work truck and off road truck dont go hand in hand. work trucks like heavy springs, and off road trucks like light springs. if you're just bashing through the mud your idea will work though.

BaggedC10 · 02-17-2004, 12:31 AM

Air ride is a beautiful thing.

I do have to say, that's a first for me.

Free88 · 02-17-2004, 12:46 AM

I must agree that's the first time I heard that phraze as well. Oh, well, isn't this about originality and indiduality.

Yeah i was thinking that after i posted .... i guess i will just have to have 3!!

PHOENIX · 02-17-2004, 12:36 PM

2wd - keep it stock, lower it, or air bag it
4wd - lift it with bigger tires

Thats what I would do, I have a 2wd so I am shooting for air bags.

I'm gonna get some mileage out of that one...

**swervin ervin** · 02-17-2004, 01:57 PM

About the best thing Jeremy has come up with in a long time.

I like it myself.

Big Paul · 02-17-2004, 02:17 PM

I like lowered for my trucks. Don't really care for 4wd, not an off-roading type but I like a nice looking 4wd too.

Jeremy doesn't know he's "funny."

Prerunner1982 · 02-17-2004, 03:08 PM

besides funny looking? JK

BaggedC10 · 02-17-2004, 03:13 PM

For the record, we're not lowriders. A lowrider has 13" wire wheels, hydros, paint w/ excessive flake, chain steering wheel, velour interior, etc.. Call us one of the following---Sport truck, street truck, or custom truck owners.

Destructo · 02-17-2004, 03:41 PM

I want both, currently have a lifted 4wd, next is a lowered shortbed 2wd.

*1FaastC10* · 02-17-2004, 06:15 PM

Low87 · 02-17-2004, 06:33 PM

Good quality post, welcome to the board Storky.

SixthFloorFreak · 02-17-2004, 07:02 PM

"Live it or slam it, just don't leave it stock"

yep, that pretty much sums it up

78chevstepside · 02-17-2004, 07:26 PM

I vote for the lowered crowd. Dont know why its a waste of a truck. I have a finished oak bed in my truck with a 4/6 drop. I dont haul nothin in it. Its just a toy. I have a 02 silverado to haul or tow things ( rhino liner). Iam real carefull when I haul stuff in that. If I had a truck that I was going to do heavy hauling or abuse. I wouldnt even wash it.
