The entertainment value of these threads is always worth the price of admission. We always come down the idea "you're gonna be so unsafe, you'll come off the rails and plow into a busload of nuns and babies heading for the orphanage".
And my always favorite, "after all it's JUST a half ton" ( always to imply that you don't have a real truck ).
And now we're down to "a half ton is just a car on steroids".
Gotta love that one....that's a new one here on the forum by the resident payload police. So many experts, so little time.
That's part of what makes these threads so great, you just never know what new outrageous statement folks can come up with. And we all of course love one posters constant use of the emoticons of face palm and rolled eyes. A clear indication he's the smartest dude on the forum and everybody else is just a pretender.
And the OP hasn't even been back.... I think the weight police either scared him off, or made him so disgusted he just gave up on the forum.
One poster made the comment earlier, "it's a SIMPLE matter of just going and buying a 2500". Well, to some folks it is in fact a pretty simple matter to go write a check for $20K to $50K for a new truck. Congrats to those who can. But other folks may in fact find it far more affordable to simply spend $500 to $1000 improving and modifying what they already have. Just the sales tax alone on trading his existing truck up to a different truck may well exceed that.
To those who think that intelligent mods to a given truck does not increase it's capabilities, well ok. Some folks just can't be convinced.
Carry on gents, this gets more entertaining by the day. And don't forget the face palm icon !!!!
