I witnessed almost the exact same thing. This summer, this dumb guy who has a 2WD F-150 decided to go up a big hill shaped like a ^, but a little steeper. He got it high centered, even though I don't know how he got that far. The first thing he did is put in in reverse, roll down the window, lean out and look at the rear wheels spinning, and throw mud all over his face and interior. It was hilarious, I pulled him out, but what an idiot!!!!!!!

If you think that is funny, you have to check out the Ford versus Toyota debate. going on in both the Ford fullsize, and Toyota boards. Good humor.

 

I believe they don't think at all or they would have bought a different brand of truck, right?

Don't worry about us poor Toy folks, some of us drive GM's too! Gotta have some sort of backup rig...mine is a 78 Jimmy. My Toy is American made with a good amount of GM parts too, in fact, it probably has more GM parts than my GMC does now! Gotta love that Jimmy though, 8mpg, flexes like a crawler stock, whoops up on Hondas on the street, parts are dirt cheap, and when I do have to work on it, what could be easier? Someday my lil bro might even give it back...

I love the little toyota's and Nissan trucks, but I'm just so sick of seeing them w/ a set of 31's and 150k on average body and V6 and they want a crap load of money for it... whatever! Not to mention I really don't care much for manuals. Some of those trucks are pretty tough... would be a great daily driver

Last year my buddy and I were out having some fun in the Cleveland National Forest. He has a 92 Toyota 4x4. Anyways, we go up this trail that goes up Black Mountain, and then come back. Nothing to hard, but a pretty bumpy and rutted trail. Definately requires a little ground clearance, and a limited slip helps. You could do it with a lifted 2wd, but a locker or tight limited slip would be mandatory.

So anyways, as we are coming back down the trail and stop at the beginning of the hard part, this new, red, 2wd, Dodge Dakota comes up the other way. Two punk kids in it. Hats on backwards, ears peirced, rap music BLARING, and I see the driver mouth the word "Michigan" as he points to my plate and then make some comment and they both laugh. Now, his truck is low, and it has nerf bars (why do people put nerf bars on 2wd minitrucks anyways, not like anyone has a hard time stepping into them/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif), and it has the cheapie rims with the road tires on it. I know all this because it is identical to the ones we rent at Enterprise-Rent-A-Car. So he goes up the trail aways, and around the hill out of our view. My buddy wants to take off, but I'm like, no lets wait and watch. About 5 minutes later the truck comes back, covered in mud, with a folded up driver's side rocker panel, that nerf bar has been ripped off the front body mounting and is dragging on the ground, and the driver has a "daddy's going to kill me" look on his face.

hey jbtsurf, there are a bunch of idiot drivers here in CC, aren't there? i've pulled out many. of course, the most profitable time is out at the beach when all these cool guys are cruisin' the soft sand in their little honda cars and 2wd 'monster trucks' /wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif

LOL nerf's on a 2wd? that's a new one on me...... It probally hasn't reached Idaho yet, since we are 20 years or so behind everyone elses's trends ~

 

shorts, bro, the drivers in cc do suck royal hot beef and 90% is someone driving a MINIVAN. i was down two weekends ago and man if felt so relaxing to drive down SPID(south padre island drive for all you yanks. you know the road to the beach). this traffic in austin is psyco and thats a severe understatement. anyways ill see everyone at jp luby watch for me in my beat-up blue burb or out in the water rippin the sh!t out of some texas surf.

everything's bigger in TEXAS!

 

hey jbsurf, shorts is of the feminine persuation...

 

Crazy, yeah, you see it all the time here in SoCal. 2wd Rangers, S10's, Tacomas, Mazda's, Isuzu's, everything. Even fullsize 2wd's where they are only about 3" taller. Looks so stupid in my opinion./wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif

jbtsurf and shorts, I got a question for you Texans. I'm a Marine stationed here in San Diego, CA. I keep seeing all these little 2wd trucks with Texas plates that have "dually" roof mounted running lights, running boards or nerf bars, mud flaps, 10' CV antennaes, a million cowboy, Texas, and rodeo stickers plastered on every peice of glass, and the factory rims and car tread tires. What the hell is up with that? I see a lot of guys on the offroading boards I go to from Texas, with cool trucks, and then I see all these dorks driving these trucks and walking around wearing vacuum sealed jeans, tight white Rodeo T-shirts, cowboy boots, and leather belts with chrome plated hub caps or trash can lids for buckles. Please tell me this isn't normal, because these guys are lending to the old Marine Corps joke:

"Two things come out of Texas, steers and................."

No habla englese...I guess... whats jp luby...Hows that blue paint holdin up? /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif/wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif/wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif Last time I was down in S. Padre I got the 2wd Z71 stuck on the beach (found out the actuator went "TU") then broke my port shroud on ny Hobie 16'(one of the 3 wires holding the mast up). Kind of sucks being sail-less on the TX side of the intercoastal waterway and you launched from the island. Thats about a 2 mile swim... Thank goodness for a local in a flatbottom...saved the day...

AMJ, i dont know what youre talking about either. my eyes dont see those kinds of trucks and they never will(it sound like youre attracted to em the way you pay attention to all those details and give such explicit description). and if youre trying to get a rise out of me or lower my texas pride...goodluck(itd be like me making fun or steriotyping you for being a marine). anyway, the way i see it were all on this board for a common purpose and id hate to see something like on the ford board break out. so if my 'yank' comment offends you cause youre from mich., sorry thats just me...its nothin personal /wwwthreads_images/icons/tongue.gif.

everything's bigger in TEXAS!

 

what the...who's AMJ? did we gain anohter member while i was out? just playin. seems to me that there should be plenty of "normal" texicans out there..it;s just that the hubcaps for belt buckles grab attention and we don;t notice the others. that my theory anyhow. cold be they're just trying to deny it as part of an elaborate communist plot.

If it hasn't broken, you haven't had it in the dirt yet.

 

Nope, and it's AJM. Don't be so touchy. I know lots of Texans who I am great friends with and think the world of. The guy who drug my @ss through 13 weeks of bootcamp was from Texas.
Just seems these Rinestone (that how you spell it?) cowboys are a bunch of fakes who are pretending to hard and making you and your state look bad.

For your information, I don't ever plan on moving back to Michigan (it snows there/wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif), and I adore the old South with a passion. Looking at Florida, Alabama, or maybe Lousiana.

man, don't even remind me of that Austin traffic. I was up there this past weekend....talk about INSANE! i was so happy to get home - we flew down I37 /wwwthreads_images/icons/crazy.gif if you call 85 mph flyin' /wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif

good ol' jp luby...big spring break is the 12th, so, the sands will be infested with lots of craziness. maybe i'll load up the tow straps, some extra goodies, and head out there. of course, i'll pick out a good spot to watch the all the cars try to fly over the soft stuff /wwwthreads_images/icons/cool.gif

AJM, those are the red-head step children of the state (i hope i didn't offend anyone with that last comment - if i did, scratch that and make them the black sheep). those folks try[/try] to be texan. you can't do that....either you are one, or you ain't...there is no tryin' to be texan. that gets you beat up and tossed out of the bar /wwwthreads_images/icons/laugh.gif

That's pretty much what I figured./wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif Bunch of dorks trying to make absolutely sure that no one in the world is unable to tell they are from Texas by just looking at them./wwwthreads_images/icons/tongue.gif

"Two things come out of Texas, steers and......." - AJM

I'd like to finish that being a native of the best place in the world, second to Heaven of course, although some argue that its better... But I believe that cliche ends with "rears", for rear-ends, axles, you know... So many truck parts down here its a wonder the reputation preceeds us. I too recieved the heckling in the Marines about being from TX but it never phased me though. I always remembered where I called home, then thought about where some of them called home...The joke was on them....believe me. Find a Texan that hates/dislikes/talks bad about Texas and I bet money they're imports... Our main problem is all the tourists, they never go home!!!

Oh yeah, about the enormous belt buckles...they are misunderstood cowboy necessities. They can be used as, plates, mirrors, water bowls, boot scrapers, TROPHIES (their main purpose), weapons, emergency steering box/frame braces, lids, etc., etc.....

Smile/wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif, we'll let you come visit!

Hahaha, well Fastzilla, some of the Rhinestone (still don't know how to spell that right) Cowboy's buckles could be used for hubcaps on 5 ton truck rims./wwwthreads_images/icons/tongue.gif
