Change the hood and the Rims, and I'd drive it daily

Well not the license plate but that's my favorite color on a Raptor and I've never seen someone paint the axle/front shield thing.

 

[Slash]

I've seen those painted before but not really on a new truck.

 

[Minty]

I like it.

I agree, though the suicide doors are a little tacky. It's cool in a weird way.

I see little wrong with the paint scheme, but not even the Raptor is immune from the hate it deserves for being a filthy bro truck.

Sis truck?

 

[ildd]

I wouldn't say it's THE bro truck though. They belongs to a diesel Ram with 6 inch exhaust tip and 1 foot lift.

 

[The Stig Farmer]

It's a Murcan pickup on a shiny lift with big wheels, warrant enough for me

 

[Slash]

New trucks piss me off.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Just ignore them.

 

[ildd]

New trucks piss me off.

Meh. They're a lot safer though. I had a friend who hydroplaned into a tree at 40mph, then barrelrolled a full turn and ended in its roof. He had to be cut out (r.i.p. $300 letterman jacket) but his only injury was a broken collarbone. Can't say near the same as old trucks.
I'll get picture if wanted.

 

[Slash]

Yeah there is no denying that new ones are safer, but I'd still take an old one.


Although lately my mentality towards the whole "I don't care if I kill myself in an accident because it was in a car I love" has sort of died a bit. Mostly considering my safety more so I can be with you know who

 

[The Stig Farmer]

inb4 someone posts this as being one of those Hawaiian-stylers.

Because, hey, this was actually built for a purpose, unlike said brotrucks. May be an unconventional purpose but a purpose nonetheless.

 

[Slash]

Pull trucks are freaking epic though. 8.5 liter big block engines that spin nearly 10,000rpm and make over 1,000 horsepower without question. And then pull 50,000-80,000 lbs like it's nothing. The weight on the front is to keep it from wheelieing.

 

[Tornado]

This is just plain awesome if you know what it is.

Owning an old truck painted like a Van Halen album I think legally requires you to live in a trailer and hit your wife.

 

[Slash]

It was rattle canned too, according to the owner when I talked to him


Still funny that it's modeled after an album and guitar.

Nooooooo not to my favorite truck!

 

[gnomefromnome]

Wait!! The front or the back??

The front. I'm a sucker for the 1980-1986 Fords.

I wonder if the box is actually secured to the truck.

And it has an aftermarket tailgate too. Even wore.

 

[mustang fanatic]

Sorry Slash. Hopefully you don't hate me now.

 

[Ameer67]

Sorry Slash. Hopefully you don't hate me now.

Wonder if that thing actually moves...
