Reminds me of the old “car-toons” magazines.
Is that the owner walking down the drive in his camo shorts, black socks and slippas?Is this a new trend I don’t understand or is this dude as dumb as I think? What did the wheels/tires come off of? I wanted to ask dude but he drove off 30 seconds after I took the pic. View attachment 1147270

Doesn't look like an island guy.
They do look like skateboard wheels. LOLWell, it's a Toyota, soooooo..... it already started off looking like shit even before the skateboard wheels.
Did the Durango in the background try to pass him?View attachment 1147345 Here’s one for you, these are called slabs, some kind of trend going on in Texas.
Well that's because the bandwagon is easily accessible...Umm...it's just his opinion which seems to be pretty much the unanimous consensus.
Tijuana Texas maybe?View attachment 1147345 Here’s one for you, these are called slabs, some kind of trend going on in Texas.
It’s the Hawaiian look. Big lift wide wheels and short tiresIs this a new trend I don’t understand or is this dude as dumb as I think? What did the wheels/tires come off of? I wanted to ask dude but he drove off 30 seconds after I took the pic. View attachment 1147270
Mirror, mirror on the wallIt looks like a stocky midget that goes to the gym.
Duuuuuuuude, don't hate on the 15x7 Dayna danes on the minis man! That was my era!!I'm kind of oddly reminded of Daytons on mini trucks in the 90's...
I can 100% assure you it hasn't died out in Hawaii... I was riding in one last week in Kahalu'u. Full on Moke action.
OP it's Hawaii style...going to bet the owner is from hawaii.
Agreed. that's a good tune.Great tune. Thanks!
Now you just called Riverdave out.Super trendy where I'm at right now to do 22-26" wheels on your lifted dually.
I'm far from a hater...double diamonds, Z-rack or spinning bed? Yep, thought they were the shit! The mud tires hanging out, no different to me than the drifter wannabes with negative camber and the tires rolled out. To each their own...and at least their stuff still has gas motors and no plug ins....unless they have a bank charger for the hydros!
hahaha. RIGHT!? I would've killed for that truck I posted when I was in highschool. Shit, I'd still take a 90's hardbody extra cab with a body drop and Z rack! I actually remember that pic I posted in Lowrider magazine around 92 or so.I'm far from a hater...double diamonds, Z-rack or spinning bed? Yep, thought they were the shit!

I was gonna say…were you baller enough to have the lowered mini with the hydraulic bed back in the day?……. I wasn’t…. Lolhahaha. RIGHT!?

I loved the lifted trucks on 42 swampers (had one) as well. And Lowriders (had a few of those too). I think it's kind've interesting how trends change each few years and then as you get older you kind've stick with the trends that were popular when you were a late teen / 20s. Thus you usually get old guys rolling 50's / 60's hotrods, vejitos rollin' bombs, older homies rollin 60's low lows, dudes in their 30's early 40's rollin ricers, etc.
I gotta admit though, I'm not a fan of the wheels that stick out like this. Or the draggin ass look, or even the huge rims low profile lifted truck look (although it's slowly growing on me). Not a fan of ricers for the most part either. LOL.
But like you and bones said, to each their own, it's all good. I try to live by the motto, "you do you".
Yep. I purchased several trucks that I took and lowered. I can't tell ya how many people told me how I ruined the truck, it looked stupid, blah blah blah. I reminded them first off, I never asked for their opinion and they didn't help purchase it. I'm sure the owner of that truck is very happy with it. See now I'm looking at presumably your truck here and I'm thinking, What.....it should be lower.......is that a long bed????? Factory wheels???? To each his own. Once again the Judgmental peeps of RDP have spoken.
Agreed. that's a good tune.
Hell no. I saved my pennies and finally, with the help from my mom and dad was able to buy a dropped 78 El Camino painted 97 Geo Storm blue / green (kind've a turquoise) Originally had 15" Craigers but I put Daytons and a safari top on it as quickly as possible. Interior done and big system. I was good to go. I actually really loved that thing. Traded it for a lifted (hydros) 69 Impala on Tru-Spokes with 59 caps. balck with a peanut butter phantom top. Fun ride. I gotta dig pics out of all my old rides.I was gonna say…were you baller enough to have the lowered mini with the hydraulic bed back in the day?……. I wasn’t…. Lol
Those were good times.
Truth be told I would have killed for a fox body back in 1990….
I play an "Island Music" station on Pandora. Mix's a little reggae with a little sublmine(ish) and hawaiian stuff like this.I played the bands Spotify radio station all night last night. Great music all around.
Factory SS truck with only a K&N drop in filter and a bed cover. Short bed, factory wheels, etc.Yep. I purchased several trucks that I took and lowered.

Woman, bite your tongue! Don't lump all of us Toyota owners into the same category! Granted, they may not be suitable for towing larger items, but they do pretty damn well in the desert when set up correctly.Well, it's a Toyota, soooooo..... it already started off looking like shit, even before the skateboard wheels.
Well said sir. I too am an equal opportunity car guy. Don’t really care what. Hot rods, pre-runners, JDM cars, low riders, SEMA show cars and trucks, German hot sedans, 911’s of any vintage, stanced, lifted, lowered.... don’t like some personally, but I appreciate the time, money, craftsmanship that goes into all of them. You do you. But keep it clean, like the Toyota in OP’s photo.hahaha. RIGHT!? I would've killed for that truck I posted when I was in highschool.

I did, Worked my ass off for a B2000 with a bed lift kit, neon lights, car phone. Snug top and all the extras, And I had the dump bed. Holy shit I got so much ass with that truck. Pull up to a car of girls on the strip cruising, bass hitting. Before you know it they were in my truck!I was gonna say…were you baller enough to have the lowered mini with the hydraulic bed back in the day?……. I wasn’t…. Lol

My dad had a lowered 91 Stepside. That is cool.Well said sir. I too am an equal opportunity car guy. Don’t really care what.

My personal favorite are hot rod shop trucks... I lean towards gmt400’s but think the next one might be a 12-14 scsb Silverado.

Bed was 4 15" Fosgates. With the Snug top, shit would pound so hard!
Take me back to those days!
The Stink bug
Yup, you saw my orange one I recently did right? Tried to re-live my youth. Lets just say that bouncy shitty ride that used to be so cool sucked now as an adult! LOL....And the airride always leaked, something always was needing attention.Where did all those Mazda trucks go? They are freaking GONE.
It’s so stupid, there’s an Excursion in Cal City that’s equally if not more stupid.

Had a Dark blue 93 just like that. BelTec 5/7 drop on 15X7 triple gold Daytons. Then put some 17" Boyds on it. Fun truck.Then you’ll really like the one I saw in Pompano Beach a couple years ago. A genuine HRBB truck. Even had a dovetailed roll pan. Super clean... View attachment 1147393
