    Try as I might, I just can't understand people who lower their truck and/or put low profile tires on them. I can appreciate the hard work that went into it, and I'm sure it's their baby. But to me it completely defeats the purpose of buying a truck in the first place. I'm not big into off-roading, but what's the point in having a truck if you can barely go over a speed bump, never mind a curb, or a dirt road.

    It probably rides pretty nice when the suspension is aired up. A lot of people do it for competitions and such.

    Hell, I went to a rock crawling event Tuesday night and saw some of the sickest trucks imaginable. Rigs with massive axles, 40" tires, lockers, winches running through the floorboards and hooked to the axles to pre-load the suspension and lift them over obstacles, etc. Pretty much everybody broke MAJOR components during the night.

    A guy I know broke both his front and rear driveshafts, cracked his transfer case, and bent one of the tubes in his 4-link rear which threw off the suspension geometry and mangled the cross-member that held everything in place. This wasn't even a competition...it was all in the name of fun! :)

    I fully expect to redesign most of what I've put into my truck in another year or two. At least the guys with the dropped stuff only have to build it once. ;)

    I totally agree that it's more or less a waste of a good truck. Whether people like it or not, lowered trucks are out there and quite popular. (i.e. x-runner, s-runner) After all this is a Tacoma forum and I new some members would apreciate the look and/or hard work that went into it.;)

    Lowered trucks were the rage back in my heyday, along with brothas in Chevettes, mullet haired rockers in primered Camaros and Firebirds.

    I guess some things never die out. To each his own.
