Or the watch, or the shirt, or the worthless assistance position.

How many "actually" take their $40,000 truck, add a lift, wheels and tires to it and then tear through the trails? Then how many use those trucks as trucks? Big difference between beating a new truck and a 15 year old truck.

I just saw an 06 f-150 stock towing a huge 5th wheel, needless to say he passed me hah. If people are taking them through trails I think they are using the bed as well. I've towed quads in the bed, bikes on trailers, etc all of which I could not do with much less than a truck. I don't like the idea of people telling others how to use their truck...or flaming us for doing so but we all subconsciously have opinions about this. Before you argue we should have bought a Jeep for the trail, they don't excel @ much more than rocks and a yota's wheelbase (unstretched) is far better to build upon...I'd love to see anything less than an excessively modified Jeep follow me up a trail.

My point is I still respect those who don't wheel their rigs however...in return they should give respect to those who do as well (they oftentimes don't). I am too often scolded by posers on here for doing what I do, just read here.

But tell us, how can we live up to your definition of "using our truck" because I am dying to conform.

Yanking stumps out of the ground, hauling construction debris, carrying a bedful of construction equipment, throwing shingles from a 2nd floor roof into the bed, hauling firewood, having a huge front end loader hover over your truck and dump in sand or river rock and watch that baby bounce. You have a truck to do things a car can't do.

I never said anything about "living up" to my definitions. I don't beat my truck but it is used as a truck. I didn't buy it new to tear through the woods. I say that it is a small majority of those that tear up new trucks whether lifted or not. I'm also saying my truck does more work than the majority of new lifted trucks. If you "use your truck" for grocery shopping or fast food drive-thrus that's your prerogative.

So then using my truck to go have some fun in the woods and mud...something a car can't do, is not using my truck as a truck??? I don't get it. And, running thru mud and getting a scratch or two is worse than dropping a load in the bed and watching it bounce, or filling it up with crap or firewood or whatever else you do with your truck??? again, I don't get your point..It sounds like your bashing us for taking our new trucks thru the woods or in the mud..maybe thats what we bought them for. Oh yeh, I go to Acme to get groceries with it also...

But then again, I am a crazy sumbitch

I edited my last post. In reply to this one, it's rediculous how many *******s frequent here to tell us we abuse our trucks. So I agree with you there. Brew, you place bagged groceries in your truck bed? Get outta here man, so do I!

I take it off-roading, mudding, trails.
I haul my family around and the kids have a DVD player in the back.
I've hauled bed loads of firewood (after throwing the logs in)
I've had front loaders drop mulch, dirt, etc in the back.
I've had 1500lb gun safes loaded in the rear.
I've loaded it for countless dump runs.
I've hauled ATVs
I've trailered the same.
I've towed broken down trucks.
I've delivered folks in 12+" of snow when their cars couldn't cut it.
I've had the bed filled with rocks, pallets of home depot supplies, etc.
My truck is a truck through and through.
Its tough and handles it all.
Oh and its like a luxury car on the inside.

I don't take crap from anyone about my truck.
I don't care what anyone does with their trucks but I defy someone to tell me my truck isn't used as a truck.

Heck I'd venture to say my stock Lariat will or has out-trucked most trucks on this site.

If you lifted your truck the shingles wouldnt have as far to fall this way.

Whats it matter if guys wanna roll through the mud or tear down a trail? Its THEIR truck and they paid for it. Who cares what they do with it. I tell ya what...my truck being stock pulling a trailer of 15,000lbs of rebar for work is more abuse than ANY mud will ever do to it.

BTW...who seriously dumps gravle or shingles into their bed of the truck? Thats retarded. They make dump trailers for that

I don't think you bought your truck to go tearing through the woods and I don't think you plan on making it a habit. My comment, as you know, was about a lifted mall driver which someone I believe from your group said probably hasn't been offroading. Now my truck is 10 years old and I have taken care of it. I know all about that "first scratch". Now if you think you're an off road wonder now I'll take you up to Belle Plain and we'll see how much fun you like having off road. My original post was not an attack on you or your buddies.

As for the young immature adult who jumped on your bandwagon I'd sooner not reply to him because he chooses to be belligerent for something so minor.

My Belle Plain offer still stands.

I'm sure Tx took my comment about the mall as it was meant...a joke.

I didn't mean anything spiteful by the comment.
