I just noticed it looks like they are about to do away with the rear windows on the red runner. That would be... different.

And the purpose of all this is....?

I lifted and winched my truck so that I could get over, through and back out of more stuff than when the truck was stock. Do these dropped trucks have amazing street/speed/track performance..?

My best guess at the moment it that it's too much trouble to engage the parking brake, so they opt to anchor the truck to the ground instead

Someone please enlighten me...?

The black one is nice. Not my thing, but if its clean and classy it's all good. the thing is that too many of these mini/lowrider trucks are too busy and have too much accessories. I have a prerunner because that's the only one i could get with a v6. Would have bought s-runner if came in another color. I really like the lower sports truck look.

I don't know what's worse, these slammed trucks or the "boneheads" with 20ft lift kits who only take their rigs to the mall and back. What a waste.

Actually, I've always felt that the old school domestic cars looked pretty good as custom lowriders. You know, like the early to mid '70's Caprices and Impalas. Those cars always look good as custom lowriders.

The white truck up top doesn't look bad, but I'd dump the "Lexus" wheels. However, the 'Runner with the graffiti-like lightningbolts all over it is just terrible. Pure yuck!

I couldn't agree more. There is a guy who lives across the street from me with a F-350 Super Duty 4 door that is lifted at least 12" or more. It is only used to cruise around town in and if he did take it off-road anywhere it wouldn't make it around the first turn. Bonehead trying to compensate for something.

I agree. Have you guys seen the ones where the truck is lifted so high they have to disconnect the front axle?
