    I see no problem with a lowered truck. I would rather drive one than a sky high 6" drop bracket lift on dubs.

    A truck that is lowered and a truck with a drop bracket get about the same ground clearence anyway... :D

    Yeah I know, just playing;)

    I just get tired of people saying lowered trucks are dumb, pointless, etc. Plus half the time its guys with massive mall crawlers that never leave the pavement. At least when you lower a truck you don't kill the gas mileage:stirthepot:

    That being said, I am very much looking forward to lifting my Taco:D

    How about ppl just let others do that the heck they want with THEIR trucks and leave em alone, wow that makes sense don't it?? Who cares if they understand it or not, it's their truck to do with as they wish, which is the only damn thing that matters. SERIOUSLY!!

    Some look good lowered, but draggin them on public streets I'm not a fan off. It is unnecessary wear on the road, plus the potential for brush fires, etc. It may look cool, but there is a time and place for it. And if people keep doin it cops are just going to crack down and punish everyone.

    If you have ever looked at the road after a truck dragged on it you will see some marks and that is it, not a lot of damage. Brush fires? We're dragging on the road not in the woods lol. And lastly, how are the cops going to punish everybody for dragging?

    Haha, thanks paintdiddy! The picture was in the rain so it looked like a dark red but it's really radiant red. Having the bags wasn't just for shows, but it was really helpful putting my dirt bike in the back or moving stuff. Just drop tieback down and it's only about 5 inches off the ground to just load it up.
    Here's another pic
