its all about what you like and what you can afford. all the nut swingers of the 4.0 would get ragged on by any one else, because its not what they have / like. Personaly i could give two shits if someone i never met, that i dont know, that i probably will never meet or know likes my truck.
I am new to the truck scene, i used to have a Mustang, and even tho my GT was built up and could take some cobra's or at least give them a run for their money it was still the little bastard child of the biggest baddest model.
There was a saying, that holds alot of truth,
"I spend Money i dont have, to buy things i dont need, to impress people i dont know."
In the end, it is you behind the wheel of your truck, driving it how you drive it, doing the things that make you happy. Who cares if someone has nothing better to do than to rag on you for having fun or enjoying your truck...
American1990, Its one thing to buy the biggest best baddest model of something, but its an entirely different to take something and make it your own.
