You just described me perfectly.



Well, except for the lifted truck.




And everything else, I guess.



Okay I wear sunglasses.

Hey 06yz
hey fish, you do realize eff is running 40's and 22s? now
No, I didn't realize that.... but either way... 37"s... 40"s.... those big *** tires and wheels kill me, because EVEN IF I had the upfront $$$ to do that, I couldn't afford the gas for all of my 200+ mile round fishing trips... or to replace a set of $2000 to $2500 tires every few years....

Then, even if I just had so many $$$ that I didn't know what to do with it, it would still be an absolute nightmare trying to get all of my tackle, iceboxes, deep cycle batteries, etc, in and out of the bed of my truck > on EVERY fishing trip

But it just looks SOOO freaking good ! Like, IMPO, as good as a truck can possibly look !

Like I always say, just as soon as I hit the lotto, I'm going to build at least 1 or 2 of my 10 trucks, to be for > nothing but < looks, and fun Just a rediculously big, bad *** thing, with no practicality in mind whatsoever

Peace,
Fish

These threads crack me up....people label so much...especially when it comes to lifted trucks. I personally like the RBP grills but without the rivets and the star...and the ridiculous price tag.
There is a shop here in Vegas that makes the same grills but they are one-off, you get to choose the thickness of the mesh, the pattern, and even any emblems that you want...and they are half the price as RBP. I'm actually wanting to get one soon with my own custom emblem, and mainly because I want to run some off-road lights behind the grill. Here is a quick MSPaint version

The "Bro" syndrome is hilarious. There are so many of those type of guys around here and in Cali. It sucks that I get labeled w/ that sterotype though too....many times my girlfriend's co-workers have seen my truck and asked her if I'm a "Bro". I am young, white, have a few tattoos (but they’re all covered with normal clothes on), and I drive a lifted truck.
However, I normally dress very conservative or nice business attire and I'm usually listening to country music.....not rock/punk as loud as the radio will go while at a calm lake cove, trying to enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon, but ruining the mood for all the others there because you’re trying to portray the badass image to your trashy girlfriends!!!!
Sorry, personally experience w/ some ******* "Bros" this weekend.

Anyways, Fish I think your truck looks good as is, but if you want the RBP grill don't get the rivets and maybe look around or call this place in Vegas and have one made for half the price.

Hang on, hang on. I figured out a way for Fish Chris to pull off the RBP grille.

From seeing Fish Chris in the stereo vid in GD we all caught a glimpse of his fashion sense. It is currently not anywhere near Bro, it is all about the casual fisherman look for FC.

So here's the scoop. Create a totally new fashion trend, the Fish Bro!!!!

I'm a GENIUS!!!!!

This can be a possible financial GOLD MINE!!!!!

Just remember who thought it up, so I get my cut.

Alright so I suppose I'm the black sheep. I like the grill on your truck but without the star (as Watson posted). I don't know the prices on the grill but can only extract from what others have said that they are overpriced in their minds. I'm sure that if you decide to get one and make a few phone calls, you'll get yourself a deal you can be happy with.

a usually white young male, found commonly in places like san bernardino county in california, as well as orange county. always, without exception, drive big lifted trucks, often white. has the name of their crew or whatever in big white letters on their back window (ie, "skin", "metal mulisha". wear: trucker hats off center, plug earrings, sunglasses, wife beater shirt or no shirt, sagging d1ckies shorts, high black socks, skater shoes or those black corduroy slipper things, have a lot of tatoos of things like stars.
Sounds like my next door neighbor I grew up with back in NorCal. Only thing is, I don't see anything wrong with it. I suppose it's one of those things you'd have to grow up around and with to understand. People are who they are and do what they do because it's what makes them happy. The United States is a big *** place to live with people growing up with very different backgrounds. I see nothing being wrong with the look other than the fact that it's different from what some other people are used to. It'd be weird if people everywhere did and acted the same way no matter where you go. Would take away all the character IMO.

I like my bro-mobile.

I completely understand the Bro movement and I also have no problem with it. It may be a geographical thing, but some people like me are not limited by that. That said, it doesn't change the fact I think it's goofy looking.
