Dumest things on a truck....

[ArtW]

speaks for itsself, only way it could be dumber, would be if it was a 1 ton diesel

8'' chrome stacks in the bed of a pickup.

I have a nearly uncontrollable urge to dump things down those stacks.

 

[minimotos95]

This was a stupid idea(my own stupid idea...)
8ft wide 36" long.... but surprisingly light even with an OSB floor and metal roof over plywood.


Problems, the extra 4" it was wider than the TC I had prior made my mirrors useless. I never figured out a gutter to capture rainwater from the tin roof and 8 feet is just too wide for a lot of trails in the back country. Drove great though and I still had a ton of bed space.

picture is before it was even complete

I hate how tall new trucks are; you should be able to reach over the sides to get stuff out of the bed. And 4 door trucks with tiny beds; why buy a truck when your just gona drive it around like a car. If I bought a new truck it would be regular cab 8' bed and I would probably lower it so I don't have to get out a step ladder to actually use the thing

Umm, why?  I'm a woman and I drive a truck.  As far as I know they're not gender specific, especially on this forum.

I think that comment was more in regards to the toilet humor than any kind of truck-bravado sexism.

...not to say females can't laugh at hitch receiver pooping too, of course!

 

[Queen]

Ahh, I see. Yeah we don't usually do much toilet humor, although I have a couple of friends who find it hilarious.

As far as the "bumper dumper" goes, I always thought it would be really gross to poop under your hitch and then just leave it there... maybe you're supposed to dig a hole or something?

 

[Trebor English]

Train horns.

I had a "bumper dumper" that had a bucket attachment under and we used it for stability. When I put a seat belt on it my wife said it had to go cause she knew I would back the Jeep Wagoneer off the 3,000" ledge at Muley Point trying to get a picture, so much for my artistic career!

 

[DuneElliot]

Women pickup owners/drivers hang them as some of sort of trophy.

Hey now...I've only ever seen them on a "guy's" truck...never seen a woman with them

Your wife is every bit as wise as mine.

8'' chrome stacks in the bed of a pickup.

Actually, my dream truck has them...

In 1978 The Dodge Lil' Red Express was the fastest American made vehicle from 0 to 100 MPH as tested by Car and Driver magazine.

Why be like everyone else?

[ArtW]

Yeah, but those aren't IN the bed, not the same thing

 

[GotSmart]

To me its gotta be Chrome Tow Hooks - not that I can't be persuaded of it being something else. Its just that I haven't been able to get past it! Chrome EFFIN Tow Hooks on a pik up truck - really? ..

Chrome tow hooks - dumest things I've ever seen on a truck. dummer than a 'b' in the word 'Dumb'.

As I See It...........INTJohn

You had to say it ~~~

 

[Zizzer_Zazzer_Zuz]

The backwards facing seats in the Subaru brat.

The hell you say jimidenver!

And here I was, starting to see you as someone with some sense here on these boards but NO! You have to go and ruin it with this.

For shame.

Just weeks ago I met a man driving a fully restored Brat and we were both lamenting that it didn't have the jump seats in the back. Those things were awesome! Better than the backwards seats in a Volvo station wagon that's for sure.

 

[frater secessus]

I loved the Brat jump seats. Epic for watching drive-in movies.

They were there to subvert the Chicken Tax.

 

[highdesertranger]

way back when there where thousands of those Brat's around. but it's been a least 10 years since I have seen a running one. kinda makes you think. highdesertranger

Thank you all. I needed a good rolling laugh, and you gave it to me!
