[QUOTE=dbk21894;44026368] also check out this sick truck i saw [t]http://puu.sh/78vTB.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] Man, those spoilers/wings just look bad when mounted on an SUV like that. The only big-box vehicle I've seen where they look good is the A-team van, because its spoiler looks like part of the bodywork, unlike that pic there.
it only had 1 working tail light too i had to take a pic of it so aweful
[QUOTE=dbk21894;44026552]it only had 1 working tail light too i had to take a pic of it so aweful[/QUOTE] Looks like those were modded lights too.. One job. He had one job.
yep they were the shitty aftermarket lights had 22s on it too i think
[QUOTE=dbk21894;44028659]yep they were the shitty aftermarket lights had 22s on it too i think[/QUOTE] Quite clearly 22s with lowpros. Looks like the guy was going for a look that turned the clock back to 2001 when gangsta rap and Escalades were the favorites of the Kool Kids.
i can't stand huge rims with no tires, just doesn't make sense to me. i like to have a side wall on my tires.
i still havent gotten my answer on that NOT FOR PARKING stick im genuinely curious
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;44024964]I'm thinking about perusing a career in trucking.[/QUOTE] Does Ford even make bobtails though??
[QUOTE=dbk21894;44042625]i still havent gotten my answer on that NOT FOR PARKING stick im genuinely curious[/QUOTE] Guessing it's the jake brake (exhaust brake). It's in the same location as the retarder/exhaust brakes on the semis I've driven.
Picture i took inside the cabin of an older 1995 fully equiped freightliner, this truck was the shit, it has a gas/electric fridge, gas oven, sink, 2 bed, and even a surround system all over the truck, im on the bed. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/miXBD1S.jpg?2[/IMG]
my truck: [img]http://images02.olx.com/ui/9/32/89/f_327512389-1272925045.jpeg[/img] I love this thing, just wish it was 4x4 or the z71 package with the v8.

Dunno about the drivetrain or reliability of them, but I always liked their looks.
I wanna go to the chebby dealer and check out the 2015 colorados some time. DOA for me if no optional rear slider, and especially if they only make a stick available with the base engine/trim. I wanna be that guy with the shiny red colorado Z71 with straightpipes and lifted on some mud tires because go fuckyaself.
The 2015 Colorados sure are pretty trucks, aren't they? [IMG]http://c1gas2org.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/files/2013/11/2015-chevrolet-coloradoz71-005-a-1.jpg[/IMG]
i don't know why, i don't really like the ram 1500s, i like the dakota's better. at least gen 1. it's just got a beautiful body style..unless you show me a rumble bee, because then i'll fall in love (srt-10 versions) [img]http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j479/blkoutspd3/2005_Ram_1500_Rumblebee_Lift.jpg[/img]

I kind of don't like that front bumper look. what's under it, a skid plate?

I'm going to say this, I've never really been interested in automobiles/vehicles whatever, AT ALL, and know nothing about them, brands, models or anything, or fixing them up But today I saw this badass truck about to go 4wheelin and I had to go up to them and ask them what it is, what model, year and everything apparently it's a "73' chevy k5 blazer", lifted with a hard top on it, everything is in a green on tan camo, Today I made a choice on what my next ride/fun is going to be. ((As I said, I've never been interested in this type of stuff, but damn for some reason, what ever it is, that one truck changed my mind))
Cucv or bust

If you can find one in half-decent condition, you'll have some fun.

So I've decided to get my CDL Class A permit. I think I like the idea of being a long-haul trucker. A place near here has a no-obligations introductory lesson for $48. I'm going to take that, see if I like being behind the wheel of a rig, and if I do, it's a reasonably priced course to finish.
Yeah, I searched what cucv was, but I don't understand 'bust' of unless you mean "cucv or don't get it" in that sense sorry I'm new
Lol, yes, I believe he means you should purchase a CUCV spec K5 and not a civilian spec K5 w/ camo paint. You new to murrica, boy?
Yeah, CUCV's have GIGANTIC axels and leafs. Pretty much all the heavy lifting for making a kick ass Wheeler is done already. Just get a bit of a lift and some bigger tires and you're just about set.

Never get stranded because of electrical issues.
I have no job yet, but now I know what to work for, thanks guys, I'll come back occasionally askigned question (or just lurk to see what everything is.)
