What about this other F-350?


Whoo, boy! A KING RANCH Police Interceptor!

Is he writing "Jeep rear end" instead of jackass? I'm not sure if that's clever or stupid. (would probably lean toward stupid if I saw it as often as I see M$ or stealership)

I can't find the picture I'm looking for, but you should definitely use silver spray paint to half assedly spray a "big wheel" pattern on your sidewalls. Without a stencil of any kind.

I saw these on a car a few years ago. Looking online, they made these hubcaps in 15''



Spraypaint them chrome for that touch of class.

Somebody set fire to a stolen Bentley two houses down from my house last night.



I live in a pretty safe neighborhood in Los Angeles, so this was something completely new to me. I heard a loud bang and then a car screeching away. That's all the info I have.

Notice other than the bumper, the exhaust that's about halfway to bosozoku status, the hella sick camber, and the debadging. At least they filled the badge holes, although I think you can see the off-tone bondo work where the Honda logo was.

What did the wheels look like?



Not pictured: The sick "racing club" sticker he had on his windshield. Surprisingly the only sticker on his car.

At least the paint is in good condition, but as a Honda owner (you can even see my Prelude in the first shot a bit), it makes me angry.

I am, because they plug up the fuckin' trail with their busted poo poo and usually spend time propagating bad info to people who don't know any better.

The first one has 10-12 inches of lift to clear 35s, you can clear 35s on 4-5 inches of lift, and he's got the worst, least reliable radius arm kit available on there. And stock steering links at such a ridiculous height that I'd be shocked if it has less than a quarter turn of play in the wheel and will actually turn without the tie rod ends binding up completely if the right front wheel is up and the left front is down. You can see how close to maxed out the TRE on the right steering knuckle is.

e: ahahah I just noticed something else, he's running a stock tie rod with a locked front diff, 10" of lift, and giant tires. For reference I have bent those badly screwing around in a snowy parking lot in a stock cherokee... and put a significant bend in one by laying it on the ground in my yard and jumping on the middle of it. They are spaghetti-stiff and have no place on any upgraded cherokee.

The second is weak stock drivetrain/suspension parts turning tires way too large for it, hackjob frontend work, and general redneck bullshit. Plus if someone's got two or more steering stabilizers on their rig you can almost guarantee they are either bad at cars or made the mistake of listening to someone who is bad at cars when they planned their build.

Ah, I spotted the more-than-needed lift and thought maybe the tie rod was an issue. I was going to ask, but Chinatown beat me to it.

Ends up looking pretty military, though. I think I'd actually like it if it didn't have the outer fake beadlock.

I've seen scary steering before, sadly last time I checked it was actually down. I'm not sure why.

I do like the look of military 2 piece beadlocks, can't wait to blow stupid amounts of money on them for one of my trucks and quite reasonable amounts of money for them for the other one. I'd have the center discs cut to look cool but I'm pretty sure I will need every bit of strength that I can get, since I intend to hit at least 80 and sustain at least 60 on the local roads I test on that I can only barely peak at 60 on right now.

I just can't stand the bullshit poser factor and the way they doubled em up because IT MUST BE MORE COOLER THAT WAY :downs:
