The most redneck things i have done with my truck is, take the bed and the hood off, unplugged my air pump hoses going to my muffler and drove it around town, then when i got home i revved it in my driveway to pop the motor. Also pulling the general lee into a mudpit. Fun ol times, thats why i have a blown head gasket :sad:..
Fixed it :icon_thumby:

Custom maglight holder


I had bad speakers so...I had a few unmatched laying around plus a home theater speaker for the rear.




Custom inline fuse for my driving lights.

Ugh... nothing that I've seen yet.

A properly installed quality body lift will hold up just fine unless you are doing huge ramp jumps.
No serious guy uses body lift. You gain no suspension movement.

Your parents must be proud:icon_surprised:

Stay in school dude. When you can, move out of your town, to a place that promotes education. This is very important to the success of the human race.

My credo
the grey-t escape
on my old 2wd- putting bigger tires on the back to fix the headlight aim due to badly sagging rear leaf springs.

The only nedneck things I've done are the Redneck Unload, also known as 30 feet, a down tailgate, and reverse gear. And fixing my airbox assembley with zip ties.

you couldn't just re-aim the headlights??
I think he means that the headlights themselves were straight in their mount, but the rear sagging caused the whole truck to point slightly nose-up.

Air box assembly with zip ties isn't redneck. It's smart, plastic ad metal screws only fight eachother till the holes stripped and screw doesn't hold. You can only screw something so many times! Lol

It's redneck because I had to bust the damn halves of the airbox apart to clean the perm airfilter lol
