i was thinking that was kinda odd.
find a quadrasteer rear end and stick that in it too! That would be Pee-IMP!
quadrasteer = :rainbow:
I know you just said that to piss of Grayson, b/c it really is badass.
badass in theory, but just a bunch of shat to wear out. Plus the beds they put on the trucks with it look retarded.Quote:

automatic parallel parking - primarily used by people who cant park (aka women)
quadrasteer - primarily used by people who cant figure out how long their car is and constantly bash curbs and have trouble backing in parking spots (aka women)
Quadrasteer is badass not only in tight parking lots. At speed the rear tires turn the same direction as the front wheels making lane changes more stable. It also makes backing a trailer easier.
Is it necessary? nope. Was it overpriced from the factory? Arguably, yes. Did they market it like **** by putting the lights and flares on there? Most certainly. You can't deny that making a truck that big have the turning radius of a civic is badass. My point being it is much more useful than the other crap you compared it to.
You can act like it isn't a pain in the ass to drive your big ass truck through parking lots, but I guarantee you and Samantha take her car for that very reason when going somewhere in the city where you're going to park in a garage.
That and your license is revoked :flipoff2:
Actually we take samantha's car because she bashes curbs with my truck all the time, sucks at backing it up, and she hasnt mastered the 6spd very well. And prior to the reason you put in black, im usually to drunk to drive home. :flipoff2: I made it through 2 years of living in the north with my truck, where the parking lots are made for compact cars only, sans quadrasteer.Quote:

According to wikipedia that sh!t was 5g's. If having a good turning radius is worth 5 g's, more power to you, to me it isnt. If you pulled trailers all day everyday, i can see it maybe being a viable option, but I'd rather just bring krebs along and have him back it up for me :gigem:
i like this one. Thoughts on the black grill? I like it, something different.
That front bumper ****s up the truck's chi.
1970s american vehicles don't have chi :flipoff2:
I like the black grille
Is a painted grill different? I thought every red neck painted their grill when it gets scratched to hell... well I guess most red necks i know painted thiers white.
really I just like fawking up your thread with this quadrasteer drivel. :gigem:Quote:

I like it for what Jimmy said about w/ a trailer. Also, my driveway is really tight, so 4 wheel steer makes it where I don't have to back up turning in when I come from another direction. Plus, when I'm Downtown going up and down alleys checking out lots, etc. I don't have to back up....just turn and I can bust a U-turn in a normal residential street. When I'm in parking lots I don't have to file a flight plan for a space before I make a move on it. It's a lot of stuff to wear out...the same **** you have in the front of a 4wd truck....I just pretend I own two trucks! Makes me feel better!:flipoff2:
Also turns out when you buy a used one they sell for the same amount as the a 2 wheel steer truck and suburban's don't have the gay fenders (I agree on the PU's fenders) just oversized flares.
EDIT: PS the black grill looks gay! In fact the whole paint scheme black wheel arches, rockers, w/ the red etc looks gay! I thought you were going for the mall crawler look? It looks fairly redneck.
i wouldn't do above the wheels, just the bottom of the rockers like it is now. I plan on keeping the reddish orange it is now, with gunmetal on the bottom rockers. I think i want to run h2's powdercoated to match. That guy hacked the shat out of his fenders too, which i dont plan to do.Quote:

yes, it is a great idea to buy wheels and tires before it even runs! that way when it finally comes time to mount them the tires will be all nice and dry rotted! rock on!
I love when Grayson gets on a run!
who's buying tires smartie?Quote:

why don't you buy some racing seats and a five point harness too. then the expired belts will match the dry rotted tires!
jerry the h2 wheels look kick ass but the problem is that they have ****ty backspacing and will look kinda goofy on a fullsize with regular axles in my opinion. You will prolly then also have tire rubbing problems in the front. P.S h2 go for 150-200 regularly on 4x4 sites, and the list

will h2 wheels fit over the big ass hub of the 8lug 44 i have? (i assumed it wasnt any bigger than a 60 hub). I know to fit over the hub of the rear axle of my dodge you have to enlarge the hole a little bit in the middle.
they were on my blazer with a rear dana 70 and a front dana 44 8 lug
