Don’t squat dem trucks!! Tennessee and Carolina both and maybe more states have outlawed it. $250 fine first time, second time you can lose your license! Taking affect this summer sometime.

My grandson has a buddy with a big jacked up squatted one. It’s so bad he can’t drive it by himself. He has to have somebody ride with him and watch out the passenger side door while he watches out the drivers window because you cannot see over the hood.

Kids !

Remember back in the day, 60s 70s, we did The opposite... We jacked the back way up and put oversize tires on the back cars and trucks. Yeah we were idiots too. At least we could see where we were going in the truck was and it was going downhill all the time so we saved gas

OK we did that to get the oversized rear tires to fit in the wheel tubs.
Bigger/wider wheels/tires = more traction.

The whole squat thing is just retarded like the splaying out of wheels on little shitboxes.

It's the truck version of this:

Do those trucks have worms?

Then why are they dragging their asses on the ground?

I’ve actually never seen such a thing. Do they run them toe out for extra swagger?

Just looks like they are overloaded with stone or something, they need taller, stiffer springs.

One of the dumbest vehicle modifications out there today.

Hands down the dumbest vehicle trend I've seen in my lifetime.

This is what I think of every time I see one of the trucks. I crack up every time.

It’s the sagging pants of the automotive world

Stupidest damn thing I’ve ever seen.

Bro-dozers. That’s what we call them here.

I don’t mind them. In fact, I appreciate the heads-up on the road. To me it’s the male equivalent of a political bumper sticker. Kind of a “tell me you’re incapable of making good decisions without telling me” sort of thing.

Smart or defensive driving is so much easier when idiots self-identify for you.

Somebody actually did this to an MDX.

I cried a little....

Yeah, that’s pretty dumb. They deserve to be ticketed and possible subject to house arrest in their mamas basement for a while. No x-box for a month too.

100% agree. It’s very common here, just look at the hippie wagons, they’re very obvious.

At least this is done tastefully.

I am more and more convinced that Idiocracy was not a comedy movie but a warning/documentary and it's actually happening 500 years earlier than expected.

It should have been a dire warning, but unfortunately a portion of the population is using it as a blueprint to build our future society.

Supposedly inspired from trophy buggies...which in desert racing the theory is that when the rig gets airborne during a jump, the rear end is more likely to land first or at the same time as the front, purportedly lessening the abuse to the engine and the driver upon impacting ol' terra firma. At least that's the theory.



Yup. I'd like to see one of these street trucks do a jump wearing a set of those expensive lo-pros rims. That should work REAL good...

Guess I need to get out more. Have never heard of or seen this.
