Why Do People Run Dune Grapplers When the only Real Sandy Areas are the Sandboxes at the Park

    So I’m usually pretty easy going. If I see a truck with 20” wheels and skinny tires or a snorkel or a bunch of decals or chrome, I’ll let it slide.

    But today I saw 3 trucks. Yes 3 with Dune Grapplers. 2 were Toyota’s. We don’t have a desert nearby and if you drive on our freshwater beaches you will be arrested. Kinda made me mad for some reason. They do look cool until you read the word Dune

    Does a purchase of four come with a free affliction t shirt and a one way ticket to 2003?

    They look kinda cool from a distance but as you get closer you notice the overdone font on the lettering and realize the tread is a flame. Then you read Dune and you feel rage.

    Wait, are those fake beadlocks part of the tire? The tire company decided to go full fucking poser and injection molded fake bead bolts right on the sidewall? And people think that shit looks tough?

    Lulz.
