    Shit my lady got used to it. She grabs my phone and takes a pic for me while were cruising around. She also spots the people who look at my van while we're out. She's a trooper

    Yeah my wife still hasn't bought into the TW thing YET. But my 4 and 9 year olds are badass at spotting lifted trucks

    My wife drove the truck to work one day this week while her minivan was in the shop. I asked how it drove with the new shocks. Said that she was just happy to have her van back.
    Good! Don't want her driving the truck anyways- she shifts too early and bogs the engine down.

    My wife won't drive my truck as she says it's too big. She did hit our friends truck the second time she drove mine so I can see her reasoning.

    She doesn't not like driving the truck, she just loves driving the minivan. Easier to get the kids in and out- she says.
    She used to drive our (mildly) lifted 2005 4-runner on 32's. I used to drive a Scout 2 expedition camper.
    We used to be cool...
