OMG, I forgot about the fugly lifted trucks damn fun though....small town here as well. It was at the edge of the district (still kind small-ish with 800-ish people in my grad class). The town had a pop. of like 260....with over that in dead (coleragh-sp? back in the day).
not so much rice just the "type" that would be rice now...you know the pink shirt collar pop'd guys.
I think its just funny how every gen. has this type in it.
speaking of which did you ever post pics of it? I always well still do wanted to jack up my Toyota pickup. Wanna lift my Dodge too my family thinks I'm crazy they say its high enough
here is a pic with the lift and 31's...The front rim is the spare as a thorn patch gave me a flat and I have a set of brand new 33in bfg mud t/a's waiting to go on. Also broke the rear tailpipe hanger that night.
here is some body damage from whan it got into a fight with a chevy 1/2 ton...from when the orig. owners had it.
broncos are preaty stumpy (low) from the factory...a 4in makes it look like it should have from the factory. That and to not have to shave the bumper/clear 33's you need a 4in lift...my buddy had a 84 blazer and with a 4in was at least 3in taller. But that is what a leaf spring solid axle will do over a ford twin traction beam (TTB) on a coil spring front.
It would look alot better if I put a 15x10 rim and the 33's (33x12.5) on.
We had the lowered mini-trucks. S-10s mainly. Double wiper blades, flexible antennas, open wheel (might as well have been) vehicles, loud stereos, and camaros with the arse end jacked up. Also, gutted cats were the ****nit. If you could make your 4-6 cylinder sound like total crap, you were COOL! 8)
