Cummins kids horsepower ratings, guy I worked with had a 2013 mega cab with "300 horse injectors, big ol' goddamn turbo, and 2 chips stacked worth 200 horse a piece, and a 5" exhaust with a 10" tip. Truck was damn near 900 horse.

Crank sensor timing advance and turbo silencer delete or whatever the Cummins guys call that crap.

Straight pipes on a gasser

Exhaust tips or stacks bigger than 6"

Stretched tires

8" + lifts on 33s

You all have been in my head! You've got em all covered as best I can tell.

The flatbill bros w/ gigantic exhaust tips & 1 or 2 LED light bars across the top of the windshield are the most annoying. Not many do the "squat " stance or stretched tires here, thank God! Well, the ricers do the tire stretching but for now, the diesel trucks just have wide rims, they aren't doing the stretching thing... Yet.

Camo accessories. Its real popular around here.

Full rear window decals depicting some sort of wildlife scene.





:spit::rofl:
Idk if you hunt. I do and I put a camo headliner in. It turned out well. But when it comes to camo as a paint job or 2 tone. Nah I will pass on that. I love my color the way it is. Sexy clean looking blue. Gives me a stiffy thinking about it. Lol

Anytime someone uses the word "Epic" i want to punch them in the face or :buttkick:

No, Im not a hunter.

Im talking about trucks with camo rockers, camo rain gaurds, camo badges, camo bug deflector, and a huge camo banner on the rear window that says Mossy Oak. Its pretty tacky. Lol

I agree sometimes there's too much camo. Only way I could have that is if I was disabled. Disabled can hunt from a vehicle.

Agreed, or the huge ass bone collector stickers all over.

Or, and no offense to you southern folks, but up north of the mason dixon, people have no damn reason to rock a stars&bars flag. Drives me nuts.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned a Donk in here! I hate those!!
Also a kid in Idaho had one of the Japanese bosozoku style cars (had to ask what the hell he was doing) I guess it's a new fad the younger kids are doing now?

I was at the car wash today and saw a new F-250 with about half the stuff we've been talking about. American Force wheels at least 24". Tires sticking out 10-12" past body. 8" or better lift with purple power coating. Had the Cali/Carolina/whatever you call it lean. But then again, it was pulling a trailer with his 4 seater Rzr on it. It was SICK!! :rofl:
Should've taken a pic but didn't....
