I have the same issue with dudes on most S-10 forums. It's like they can't fathom why I don't want to keep the 3" body lift and throw some giant honkin' muddin' tires on there, or why I don't have any
planes to put an airbag suspension on there and notch the rear so I can "be layin' frame, yo." The S-10 community (at least on the sites I've been to) is almost exclusively immature 16-25 year old gangsta wannabes and/or rednecks that give everyone crap that doesn't either jack up or thug out their truck. It's a freakin' DAILY BEATER TRUCK, not a show piece!
There's a few folks on there with some genuine mechanical how-to knowledge, and they're usually pretty level-headed about it all. But the percentage of smart-mouths, crappy attitudes, screwed up priorities, and tasteless mods is totally disproportionate to the number of sane individuals. These are the kind of guys that will spend thousands on stereo and air-ride equipment, but make all of their electrical connections by twisting wires together and taping them, or spend $2,000+ on a set of 22" rims but will cheap-shot everything else from basic maintenance to safety equipment (seatbelts, brakes, etc.)
