I think it looks damn good compared to if it were stock height or any lower...fuck a low 4wd truck, looks like already limited suspension travel I’d have gone with a real lift too, if it were 2wd maybe

“Don’t you think this luxo-truck bits done got out of hand"

Seconded on the license plate / shiny hitch you always know

***tines

Pretty sure it had come with a colum shift btw, but people would convert them to floor mount because the column linkage would jam up not fun in traffic lol

Had a blue 69 f100 I loved too, similar story paid like a grand I think....some old lady ran a light in front of me in a little 80s Buick and i was doing like 50 (basically an offset head on collision) her car was demolished and she went to the hospital, ol blue drove away and we completed the beer run...my buddy was…

Bronco my neighbor is doing right now was amazingly original, barn find in the mountains

Wish I’d seen this had no idea it was in nc....been seeing a lot of nice restored rigs in chapel hill lately, my grandma lives in s. Pines I got lots of kin grew up down that way

No shit man totally with you....hell I could probably get a damn used hydraulic log splitter for that kind of money, and I’m all about high quality / handmade / etc but these and their ilk (knives / flashlights / etc) have gotten downright fucking ridiculous

Nothing new here, music blog I like has been covering the downward spiral of mainstream country shows for a while...

Or they could’ve taught it to drive then sign it up as an uber driver...

Location is very relevant in this case, gator tossing is a time honored floridian tradition and is actually an act of gratitude, typically for a prior favor / gift / etc that the recipient provided.

Depending on where you live the winter diesel is different (I think it’s anti freezing additives / cut) and I’m pretty sure it’s been proven to be slightly less efficient...

I take it you never have to pull anything, definitely has its pros & cons and while I’d definitely drive one I don’t get the appeal in a small car...trucks / equipment / etc it definitely makes sense though (longevity / durability / etc).

Had a mid 80s diesel Oldsmobile that was an awesome piece of shit, would pour out a diesel smokescreen every time you got on the pedal & had a built in cb...paid $500 & got about 6 months out of it (& a crash course on diesel repair / troubleshooting lol)
