what is the most stupid thing you have ever seen done to a 4wd

There's a Prado, Jeep Cherokee, a Hilux SR5 and a 100 Series here in Newcastle all done up like that. Minus the spoiler and fuel cap sticker.
They're all black with chrome 20"ish wheels, low profile tyres, lowered and tinted to the extreme.

The clown in the Prado pulled up beside me at the lights a month or so ago, first time I'd seen it. I absolutey Pee'd myself laughing! Don't think he was overly impressed.

How the new trooppy going Geoff?? No drama's? Michael.

Going well mate, thanks for asking.
I'm at that stage where my plans for it are bigger than the availale bank balance!
Had a few runs on Stockton Beach disguised as fishing. Handles that easy.

Geoff.

just because he dosn't like lifted cars dosn't make him stupid, just diffrent.
Everyone is entitled to there own tast in cars. I say good on him for been diffrent.

I've seen a white Pajero NM in Brisbane done the same way. More money than sense...

Reminds me of one night i kept slipping with the Cruiser, sliding further & further down the paddock, and ended up walking home in the rain. I would have better luck in the morning when i could see where i was going. The children asked "were the hubs on?" Of course they were - i checked them that morning. Oops - i took it in for a wheel alignment during the day. They must have taken them off lock. End of problem. It was 15 year or so ago so i hope I've got wiser since.

was that in nowra - cos theres one going around here looking like that!!

the best ve seen is a vitara with 5 spotties on top , shiny new mags with low profile tyres ans looking lik it just came out of te bw work shop!! Had a sticker that said "i wish i was a real 4wd"......knew the girl through work - had never been on dirt road, or even left out in the rain!!

Nah - In Perth about a month ago

I've seen a "When I grow up, I wanna be a Kenworth" on a Pootroll.. . . . . . now that is funny! LOL

Seen them in the states and YES the guy had a small ladder (like those step on things about a foot high for the elderly lady!

Dual front shocks is pretty much factory standard on F series 4x4 . My F150 has got them.
(Rancho RS9000 adjustables & RS 5000 )

Late model 4x4's lowered with 20inch wheels.

BLOODY RIDICULOUS

Or on the other end of the scale 4 x 4's with monster lift kits and massive tyres peeves me off.

My 2 cents worth!!!

Hahaha, been there done that.............

That's how I found out the tank in my car is a 60 litre and not 65 litre as the brochure said.....waited 1 1/2 hours for the NRMA, only to find out later there was a petrol station about 2 km from where I was stuck (1 km off the hwy though)...Dohhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Why is it ridiculous ? because you dont like it ? because some people have there own taste ?

Why not a coment of , not my cup of tea etc. That I can live with

ERR, sorry crawler
just my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

custom pait job... usually consists of panel damage and undercoat

Believe it or not you can actually buy clingwrap like stuff with imitation dirt on it.
Each kit is custom made for the various models so that you don't have to get down and dirty, you just stick it on. It's claimed to stop scratches in the bush????
When you get home the neighbours will be impressed with your "Outback Adventure".
Me, I'd rather do the real thing.

As you say---who really gives a sh#t.

Oh well - as long as they're having fun - pretty harmless (even if a bit silly) - in reallity no different to some people running 33" mt tyres around town (for example) - or me - I have an exploroz sticker on my RAV to make it look like Im a "serious" offroader:)

Back when I was a youth in Sydney there was a place on the North shore where you could get your 4by mud sprayer. They did a great job too, underbody, guards and everything. There was a write up (send up!) and photos in the NRMA mag.

That will be me this weekend - except for the TV and bread maker. But we will have a bedourie, cobb and dreampot on board.

I got talking to a fellow at bramwell junction standing next to his broken axe led land-cruiser.
I asked him how it happened he said he had 300lts of water and 300 lts of fuel on the tray plus enough crap for the rest of his life.
AS he said to me he wasn't silly coz he ain't paying top price for fuel in no out of the way place.

All the best

I once saw a four wheeler actually go off road...That was a long time ago but!

Grrr!!!

Otherwise known as Bogan Buses, Joe :-)

Don't forget the mandatory sticker of the buffalo head with the really long horns either stuck on the back window or tailgate.

Cracks me up every time.

Bogan Busses.... ha ha ha

Troll,
you reminded me of years ago before kids. We had a 1936 chev car and the lamb, cat and dog, all black and white used to pile in with me to go and collect the mail. We sure were a sight for sore eyes.

Yeah fair cop but it's not limited to users of this forum or 4WDers in general mate.

I'm quite passionate about Rugby and a mad keen Wallabies fanatic. As a result I think that anyone getting around in an All Blacks or Springboks Jersey is a tosser, a wanker and a d!ckhead. But no one pulls me up on that! Same as the occasisonal yota driver bagging out a trol driver just cause he likes Datsuns.

We're Aussies (mostly) and Aussies tend to hang sh*t on other people - usually done in good fun. That's just the way we are and it's also one of the things I love about this country - the fact that you can call a guy a d!ckhead cause he doesn't agree with you on something and no one really loses sleep over it!

My post above refered to owners of lowered 2WD hilux's - and (as stated in the post) one of said owners happens to be a good mate of mine. He's a top bloke and an even better mate but when the topic of conversation turns to his ute - I laugh and call him a wanker, then he'll usually have a go at me for being a redneck cause I like camping and 4WDing! No harm done.

I agree, each to thier own, and good on them for having different tastes, but as far as being a sad lot for also having our own particular taste in vehicles, and having a bit of fun, I think I'll have to disagree with you on that one mate! ;-)

Cheers
Scoey!

Hey Scoey

Dont go callin Dean Brogan from Port Power a bleep ...lol.....you'll cop a broken nose ........Cheers ...Dave

"Dont go callin Dean Brogan from Port Power a bleep ...lol.....you'll cop a broken nose"

What's that?
Isn't a Brogan something you flush?
Port Power? Why would I get an electricity bill from that lot!! I don't even live in Victoria!!

Go Scoey, Go the Wallabies. Roll on France 2007.

You've got to love being Australian, hang chit for the fun of it on the world.

Except for the Wallabies.

Geoff.
