What do you call it when they customize their truck to have an extra long catwalk?

    My thought is - you might have an awesome, totally MF'ing bangin' truck - slick, cut to the 9's, every gals wet dream. Fast & fun to drive.

    Hitting a tight dock.
    What if you have to do that around one like you?

    What if I have to do that in a short nose between two of you?


    Y'all got the 'compensation package'. Driving a big Peter because your wife knows you can't even drive the lil' Peter...... But I'll slam this daycab into any hole I'm told to put it into. Lol.

    Glitzy & glam or pure utilitarianism?
    I'll take utilitarianism. You flashy fellas better keep your spec'd-out rigs on the big-road and aim for big holes.

    They're admirable, this I grant. But you're.... kinda useless in a pinch.

    So you admire the nice rides?
    Feel like they are overcompensating and are every gals wet dream?
    Fast and fun to drive?
    Your could be right. Who cares?
    Nobody is making you buy, build or drive a nice truck. Enjoy your daycab. Go home to your wife and hope there's not a large car parked out back.

    I don't have to worry about either one.
    1) I'm unmarried. Won't ever be again. Costs too much when it ends.
    2) I live in the city and the largest space for a large-car around here is probably between your ### cheeks.

    So.....

    You were solid until the last bit.
    Don't get on my bad side.

    I'm sure all your sides are bad.

    Hang in there little buddy, some day you will be the big strapper you want so much too be.

    Meh. You aren't anybody but an IP Address. Hardly worth the effort. Good day, 2 Cants. *tips cap*

    I never considered a person’s size or lack there of as a reason to customize a vehicle. I just thought it was personal preference since it’s a free country to spend money as one pleases. I wouldn’t own an extended frame truck if I was running the five Burroughs, but hauling cows, flatbed, and a majority of other freight shouldn’t be an issue with a 300 inch wheelbase truck in my opinion.

    It’s a baseless attempt of an argument really. I have a lot of respect for the people out there that operate customized equipment day in and out and keep it spotless, it says a lot to me about their work ethic and nothing about what they are capable of in the bedroom.

    Your truck is built to work, let’s not get confused here guys. I’m sure you experienced hands can tell the difference between a “work” truck and a “play” truck..

    D2D43B04-A1A8-4049-B92D-048CA0AF8257.jpeg Show me your little tight dock. I go to neighborhoods, mini storages and docks. I’m in NYC, Boston, Philly, Chicago, etc.

    She’s not fancy, she’s not a Pete.. She’s Strictly Business . Twenty year old Money Maker.

    Big Power, Big Wheelbase.

    Like I said before, some of these things are built to work. Factory 300”wb.
