Re: H2 and SD photoshoot.
Boss Hoss,
I get what you're saying about a truck's usage. I just had a problem with the negativity. People hardly post pictures on here as it is, let alone when they have to read something negative concerning what they've posted.
And I don't think a "bling" section is in order when there arne't that many new posts here as it is. Sorry, to cause a stir.

Re: H2 and SD photoshoot.
Now-a-days, "bling" can mean any type of money spent to set a car/truck off from the rest in a somewhat flashy way. Just because your (my) wheels are black, doesn't mean we don't have some bling. A red Camaro on color-matched 24's definitely has some bling...
I just had a problem with the negative comments. Especially from a guy that also has 20's on his truck.

Yes, I pimp twankies on a daily basis....however you cannot call my Hummer a poser. This board used to take exception to anyone who would uphold the soccer mom/douche bag poser image that most associate with the H2 as opposed to a capable rig in stock form.
I personally dont care what anyone does to their rig, but the tires of the SD are rediciculous IMO. Again, this is just my opinion.

Re: H2 and SD photoshoot.
Sorry if I offend you, but guys like you crack me up. You say you "personally don't care what anyone does to their rig", but proceed to comment on it....
But I have to agree somewhat, when someone does something to a car that makes it less usable for its purpose, it makes no sense...such as chrome 22's on a Lamborghini. But other than the stretched sidewalls on the SD, the above examples have not made their cars unusable. Sure, it might be harder to load the SD's bed, but would you think the same if he made it into a pre-runner and put fiberglass bedsides on it with a spare tire in the bed? In that case, you wouldn't be able to use the bed, or the truck for that matter, for its original purpose, but I bet you'd like it.
Now I digress, I wasn't around this site years ago when people made fun of others for "blinging" out their rides. However, I've also never met anyone who wheeled their truck with 20's; at least not anyone who was serious about it. When I built my rock-crawler, it had 16's. Did I just show my age?

Judging by your huge Fox sticker and your pissin and moanin while you agree with me, I would guess you are about 16. Look, I know the "poser" word hit close to home but no need to get all butt hurt--it will be ok. Now I digress, and would love to hear about this rock-cralwer you "built"....seems like a tall tale for one who needs help installing a cosmetic fuel door.

Re: H2 and SD photoshoot.
Haha. That was pretty good. I see you've been doing some research. But the guess at age is way off. Wish I was still 16, though. Part of me would like to continue this discussion, the bigger part knows when to move on. This has probably gotten a little more heated than either of us wanted. I'll be the first to apologize.
And I'm not "pissin and moanin" about anything. I've just seen too many instances where someone posts a picture or topic, and someone posts a negative comment. It makes people not want to post. Believe me, I've seen MUCH worse than above, but I don't say it. Like everyone's mother has said, "If you don't have anything nice to say"...
BTW, I see you're from FL as well. I live in Windermere (Orlando). Are you close to that? We should meet up sometime. I'll pose, you get dirty. Haha
My 1993 4Runner that was built for rock-crawling was sold several years ago. Sold it when I moved to Florida as there are no rocks, and it had 125,000 miles on it. It had the following mods:
All-Pro Solid Axle Swap w/1985 Toyota Axle
Rear Leaf Spring Conversion (easier to build than coils)
High-Steer crossover system
Detroit Lockers front and rear
Long Travel Bilstein 7100 series shocks on custom shock hoops
Manual Hubs in front
4.88 Gears
Weld on "nerf" bars (whole truck could be jacked up from these bars)
All-Pro rear bumper
Bars around rear fenders that connected bumper to "nerf" bars
Fiberglass fenders and hood
Headers, exhaust, intake
Toyota Racing Development 11" clutch
