    Foglights are for fog, not oncoming traffic!
    It's pretty easy.
    First, facial hair...nothing like a mustache/goatee or beard to say "I'm compensating!"
    Second...lots of stickers/decals/references....the need to display their 'superiority'
    Third...naw, those are my two favs.

    The little guy will also tell big stories of where they've taken they're truck but won't have a scratch or speck of mud on it ever. It'll always be shiny.
