when i show my friends at skool a minitruckin magazine they are always say wtf is wrong with the front wheels so then i tery to explain but they still dont understand haha

[xmb63]

Yea i was in the gas station getting a drink and this guy was like is that your green truck out there. I was like yea it is. Then he said there is something wrong with your wheel you might wanna check it out. I said its ok its bagged he gave me a puzzled look and i payed for my stuff and left.

[pugz]

i get "are your tires flat " and "why is the rear lower than the front" all the time.....


then i jsut hit some switches and and they smile

[bagndrag]

when i had my nissan on base pep always asked me what happened to the trucks suspension or how do u drive that

[yeti_'87HB]

i get it from my grandfather all the time, he always says "something is seriously wrong with your truck, you need to get an alignment before you wreck your tires or have an accident" he has a bit of old timers disease coming on, so i can explain it to him one day, and like 2 days later he says it to me again, and i only have a little bit of NC, he'd probably have a shit fit and not let me drive it if he see's it when i bag it lol

Its ok because he would forget the next day.

put it this way,,,, here where i live in NY they never even seen a minitruck/lowrider before i moved here. even the mechanics said " yeah man your shocks are blown". fist off if you where a mechanic wouldn't you know shock have no effect over ride hieght? that is comman sence right? they just stabalize your ride. hell any minitrucker out there (NISSAN GUYS) that don't take time to put in the shock relocater can tell you that if you don't have shocks the only think you will see is a really spring board ride. i love mountain hicks. hehe.

[$krap_IN_flesh]

pull into gas station air out hey man think you just got 4 flats. no man its on air then the puzzled huh look.

[manic_mechanic]

I use to get that with my old NIssan back in the 90's... Then I would have to explainthe physics of the front suspension on car, and then hit my switches to prove to the disbelievers.

This is the best part of owning a mini! When I was at wyotech in Blairesville, PA I helped a dood from florida build his 93 ranger. We finished it (kept I-beams and backhalfed rear) and we went on a shake down run to a gas station to fill the fuel cell. There was some older locals there filling up and we dumped it at the pump. One guy said your front axle broke. Then as we were ready to leave he asked how are we gonna get it home? We laughed and said just like this as we dragged out of the station. Didn't drag at the pump though just out the driveway and down the highway

[layinframe]

B4 I was bagged my dad would look at my mini trickin magazine an ask ... Son how do they drive their trucks like that.... After explaining he would always say .... Well that's stupid an a waste of money, kids these days... Well after I bagged mine an showed him first hand he's so into it he always tryin to work on my truck wit me. Btw he's not to old only 42 an I'm 22

[SmashinHaters]

"did you just blow a tire?"

[nissandoordragger]

i was at a gas station once bofore i did the full frame and one off a arms and when i went in to pay the lady said i think your lug nuts are loose cuz your tire is leaning and i acted all piss and was like god damint tha fuckin peice of shit i hate tat fucking truck then i went out side jumped in it poped it up and as i was going around the corner i pulled it up on 3 wheels while every one just stared at me with there mouths open

[nislo]

epic thread

[zach]

i left the pump in my fuel cell once, went in payed for my gas, when i came back out there was an old guy lookin in my bed he ask "does this thing run on gas or what is that?" lol i get the broken wheels q on a daily basis i love it, i have just started going along with it.

[yeti_'87HB]

i went to fill my truck up the other day, and my tank is in my bed, and when i went in to pay, the older guy behind the counter asked me if i was filling up a jerry can for my snow blower, and when i told him it was my gas tank i was filling he seemed shocked that moving a gas tank to the bed could be done lol

[scr8pnHard]

I like this one, ( How do you drive this truck with it on the ground and the frontend being broke) I was asked that at the last show by an old guy.

[drginazzhb92]

when i first bagged mmy truck my grandfather said " so your goin to drive it like this and its going to spark and stuff??" i said " yea pretty much when i want to" now he reads threw my mini truckins every month i get one in the mail..lol

[$krap_IN_flesh]

best one was at last club get together we went to this hillbilly biker bar for some food and drinks and these guys kept askin question about r trucks. and they were kinda gettin it then one dude was like so how does it know when to raise up when you are about to go over bumps and railroad tracks. and another just kept askin if we had and any motor work done to em. so when we went to leave the whole bar emptied out to the parkin lot to see how they worked

[slammed_86]

I had my train horn on my dump valve for alittle bit and I would love to be driving and hit the switch, one time I was driving next to this civic with three cute girls in it and they cruisin along blairing their teeny-bopper music and I was rollin low jus barely nicking my cat. And I heard them start laughing sayin my truck as a piece of shit so I lifted, and they laughed hard I sped up a little and got my rear wheels even with their open windows and fuckin laid it out and laughed as I threw sparks and hear em scream when that horn sounded off!

My favorite is .....why did you cut your bed out? How are you gonna haul anything?

Did your tires just pop?

[lolyfe]

When i had my s10 it didnt have a bedfloor and i used to try to fit my bmx bike in the passenger seat. I couldnt put it in reverse.

[VG30E]

Body bags. HA

[GBSCustoms]

i had a buddy that would always carry his door handle in his pocket at shows. poeple would ask him with his shaved handles, "How do you get in it?" he would reach in his pocket and hand them the handle. you would be supprised the number of people would look for a place to actually plug it back into the truck. hehee.

[wv87minitruckr]

[SmashinHaters]

you know, peopl jus bout tub, girl.

[sliturnek]

i dont see whats so hard to understand... and i am using firefox browser with a built in spell check so you apparently would be one of those inquisitive idiots that you made mention to earlier. or are you lost on the whole tub girl bit? google image search it if your a tad lost.

my apologies, i imagined that since the title of this thread is "your wheel is broken" containing peoples ill responses and uneducated verbal engagement pertaining the suspension of our trucks that we would be on the same page. if you would like me to take baby steps i can try to oblige

[SmashinHaters]

so u wrote tht so u could xplain it later? {out of th loop and proud of it!}

[sliturnek]

no... "tub girl" has been around for a long time, the purpose for saying "tub girl" was to put emphasis on the word i was going to use "shit" although i also assumed people would get a laugh at it, sadly mistaken

[GBSCustoms]

Oh that is just BAD!!!!!! nasty. don't google image it, just google tub girl if you dare. NASTY.... That is Florida Slang man. My buddy knows it all to well. YUCK!!!!.

[SmashinHaters]

<- no worrys man, 2 some of us "IN" IS th internet, not much selfshittinsurfin..



tho if u had said "2girlonecup" ida caught on, but i only came across tht bcuz it was postd on th previous site.

[sliturnek]

yeah i guess that would have been much more well known but i was also shooting for a bit more of defecating on themselves and not putting it in their mouths... ahh well i tried

[sliturnek]

really? i guess i dont notice it being a southern boy... im gunna be stopping by mike rt 23 this week some time to see what i can find in ways of fenders that are in decent shape. if not we can just yank em off for now if it becomes a problem. where are them pics @ ? log off ur domain already ;-)

[Low Toy]

my favourite - "How do you get over speedbumps?"
and also, "I think you have a flat tyre"
Never had a mention about the camber tho, even tho I had quite a bit...

[JRock]

my old isuzu had the torsions all the way down.. "how do you get over speedbumps?" "I try to avoid them"...i got high centered at the mall........... sucked.

[nissan1995]

[tis10w]

[damnbump]

[WeightLimit]
