Fifty150 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I thought that everyone knew, that I only lie about owning a F-150. It's really a lifted Camaro. And I drink New Coke versus Old Coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm223 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Paddles and mudders - it's like that Camaro can't decide whether it should play in the sand or the mud, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Nickels Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 New Coke is back on the shelf. Saw that story on the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Okay, so we all have an idea of what a "bro" truck is. How do we turn a Transit Connect into a "bro" van? jrm223 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Just turn it, bro, it'll be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrm223 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Some of the requirements for a bro truck is 8+ inch lift kit with small 33-35" tires on large 20-22" diameter rims that are 14" wide. Lift kit isn't really an option on a TC, nor are 33" tires or wide wheels. Maybe some 15x12" wheels with the shortest & widest tires you can find would make a Bro TC that could turn around in 40 acres? But it would look more like the stance crowd than bro truck, IMO.

Double Nickels Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Disabled transportation vans have custom spacers between the top of the strut, and the strut mount. Rear suspension will take a longer coil spring and shocks. Then as many airbags as you can fit, to smooth out the ride. Top off with shiny, spinning hubcaps. Or custom Foose Design wheels. We could start there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only got a 6" lift kit. My wheels are OEM size 17". I've got to get back to the drawing board. 7 hours ago, Double Nickels said: Disabled transportation vans have custom spacers between the top of the strut, and the strut mount. I actually looked into that also. Pretty neat how they build those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Nickels Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 A real bro truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm223 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Nah, there's too much sidewall on those tires, haha. Here's a good example of a Chevy bro truck. My van has more mud on it right now than this Chevy will ever see in it's life, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Just looking out at the truck & van parked out on the street. Just doesn't look like my truck is cool enough to qualify as a "bro truck". I don't have enough bling, lift, or the other things that would qualify. And actually looking at it; it's not really that much of a difference in size between the pickup & Transit Connect. jrm223 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm223 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 IMO, you ought to be thankful that it doesn't qualify as a stupid "bro truck", haha. Ridiculous fad that I can't wait to go away! OLDSCHOOLFOOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 just what everyone needs - A truck where you have to carry around a stepladder to get into and out of it. Very practical There ought to be a law where bumpers must match up, at least somewhat, rather than a bumper that takes out the windshield on a normal car when they collide Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm223 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Most states do have frame & bumper height laws, amongst others like headlight & taillight heights, mud flaps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid, I remember reruns on television: a bounty hunter with a lifted truck. I'm not Colt Seavers. That was a bro truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Note that the bounty hunter's lifted truck catches sportbikes like there's no tomorrow. Edited June 17, 2019 by mrtn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrm223 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 That is nothing like a bro truck. Not every lifted truck is a "bro truck"; just like not every lowered vehicle is a "lowrider". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
