    They won't know what you are talking about because they know how to park and aren't a 90 year old lady, lol.

    Just duct tape a piece of coat hanger to your mudflap.

    Take one of those fiberglass tent poles and just mount it crossways under the truck. If you leave about 16" on either side, you've got your curb feelers and a bonus collision avoidance system.

    I realize I'm being trolled, but this thread kills me so I'm playin'.

    The tip of an old busted fishing pole might be classier though. You can make DIY kits.

    I haven't seen curb feelers on a vehicle since the 70's when the old folks were driving Buick's that were 25' long and 9' wide! LOL!

    I'm 28 and what is this

    I saw these a few times when I was a kid. I'm guessing they make a horrible scraping sound when they drag on a curb?

    Apparently if you are old, you know that you are so close to the curb that there is no chance there will be a step down between you and the curb.

    Why do you think some of the younger generation buys 4x4's like the Tacoma? Answer - so they can jack the truck up 6", put big tires on the truck and climb curbs with ease. No need for curb feelers they know when they hit the curb when there level gauges indicate the truck is not level. The truck level gauges are located in there latest Iphone with the other 1K apps they need to get through life.

    I think they look badazz with a 6 inch lift but ya have to get the extra long ones. Especially on a blacked out truck.
    I heard Metalcloak is coming out with the extended plasti dipped version in mid January.

    Yup. The nice thing is I got here. You on the other hand may not...lots don't.:D

    When I retired I decided I was never going to have another cell phone attached to my ear. So far it works great. I go to the gun range and I am not bothered by phone calls. Do you know it is even possible to walk down a mall without texting the person beside you or drive 40" from your home without making a phone call. Life is great.

    Take Care

    I don't answer phone calls nor do I make them. I made one phone call in the last 3 months to my insurance company. I don't like speaking on the phone
