Can we just get back to the fact widebody is just the brodozer of the car world and just as stupid please?

Putting a wide body kit on a street car is the same as putting low profile tires on a 4x4, a big light bar, flipping the mirrors up, and chroming/painting the suspension parts. Then going around rolling coal. ... it's ****ing stupid as ****.

Dude, I am done with this.

There is nothing more I, or anyone else, can say to get you away from your "I own a wide-body WRX!" warped sense of entitlement/perception. Especially since folks mike GST Mike have weighted in without any effect.

And now this is the 3rd(?) public poll you are losing? Yet we are still going around in the same circles?

Like I said. It is your car. It is your money. Do with them as you please. But it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Now, you want to see a truck done RIGHT...




Yea, no lift, just a leveling kit. $10k in wheels and tires that have a 100k mile road coverage, and more load rating than the frame of the truck has.
And look, the mirrors are not flipped up, no stacks, and no painted undercarriage.

Installed a metal spacer in front that levels the front end with the rear end (stock the Ram comes about 1" lower than the rear) then upgraded all shocks to FOX external nitrogen filled. 8-10 bolt conversion, then 295/75/22.5 wheels (same wheels on semi trucks)

But, but, they can be flipped out, same as mine, for you know, ghost trailers.

You got a new rig? NICE!

That's all I'm putting into this chit-storm of a thread/topic.

I don't own it, my son does, but he lives in WA, and has no place to keep it so It stays with me. Hell I think he has only put 1000 miles on it, the rest is all me

Obviously, I am not a truck person, but that looks very nice. Purposeful.

No, that is called a DRW, and it comes factory like that. Not some hacked together pile of fiberglass ****, bolted to the sides of a car to make it look cool.
