Truckspotters

Last September I was on a trip east into Virginia, and while driving i went past this guy's truck. I know this thread is more for complete truck pics, but i can't resist posting this. it might be hard to make out at first till you look hard at the truck's tires and see the way out offset. I just had time to grab the camera and shoot this. my best guess was the tire sticks out a good 8 inches. cheers

That grille is sure different.

I have seen it before. I thought it was "Ranger GT" or a "Stillen" but then I found this on the webernet

This is the "Stillen" design.

That's common anymore, when I remember I call them "bro dozers", it's lame, and if Dodge they ALWAYS have their dog ears up (tow mirrors).

It's funny how clean those trucks always are, they've never seen a speck of a gravel road or even a mud puddle... If they'd ever gone off pavement they would have a complete different build... The dually trucks are even more ridiculous looking as the outer rear is almost always sticking within 2" of being all the way outside the fenders... Why it's a fashion statement nowadays to put a 4" lift on a truck then put 30" wheels and 33" tires (mud tires at that) is WAY beyond me... I lowered my F350 as the 4" lift was way more than enough to clear the 35" tires. But then again I use mine as it was intended, to haul and tow stuff... something those bro dozers will NEVER do... if they did they'd break wheels off like Dirtman mentioned

It screams 80's cool for sure.

Has more of a early 90's vibe to me.

The 90's were a dark dark time in automotive history...

Exactly, see how the tires fit in the fenders when it's flexed out? that wouldn't happen with one of these bro dozers... fenders would be trashed and they would be dirty...
