    Not really a bro truck, but... I work at a hospital and one of the younger doctors (who is a total grown-up-bro and always has a brand new audi/bmw or some such shit) was recently telling me how he just bought a jeep and is getting some new rubicon rims and a lift kit and all this other shit. When I asked where he was gonna go offroading, his response was "The home depot parking lot on saturdays". So in other words he's making a mall crawler. Meanwhile us peasants havn't gotten raises in like 3 years and this dude is bragging about buying a 3rd (or possibly 4th) car so he can look cool at home depot. Again not really a bro truck but definitely a dude who is trying way too hard.

    As soon as he walked away my coworker and I were joking about how we were gonna get those truck nuts and put them on his jeep next time he drives it to work, just to make it even more douche-ey. :p

    I think "bro trucks" are more of a thing out west. I live in like a crossover zone, really close to an urban area (philly) and a really redneck area (the rest of pennsylvania), so we get a mixed bag of bros. I see a bro truck once in a while, always with like metal mulish stickers and grenade decals and some goon with like an upside down visor driving.
    Towards the city the bros are more, I don't want to say sophisticated because there's nothing sophisticated about being an ape-man, but more of the "jersey shore" type of meathead. Like they would be more into ultimate fighting instead of supercross. Always see them rockin affliction shirts, fauxhawks, generic tattoos, fancy watches and they all drive escalades, denali's, or lexus suv's.
    But they all share the common Bro trait: Alpha male idiots who are trying REALLY hard to make other people think they are cool.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    My thoughts exactly, and I can't believe I saw this in Montana of all places. Stuff like this is California special, not MT special. Either way, I haven't seen it since, doubt they drive it in the winter with those low profile tires. Can't imagine how bad those suck in snow.

    I think he means like save it for the 2wd drive trucks that are never leaving the pavement. Obviously with those rims on there that bro's truck isn't going anywhere off road, or even in the snow for that matter. Seems to defeat the whole purpose of having a 4x4.

    Honestly, I'm all for the "To each their own" mentality but hmm...I thought this was an LT in progress or something similar until I spotted the.. 6"? body lift. Now I'm just confused.

    Maybe you guys can help me here, but why does a certain brand of D bag feel the need to plaster the monster energy logo all over their D bag mobiles?

    I'm just confused about the message....

    Is it "I cal be a douche 24 7 because I'mhopped up on monster and don't have to sleep?"

    Thoughts?
