Unsafe observation.

I know the Cali lean, black rims, eye scorching blue led headlights, tweeters hanging off a pillars ticking and hissing off the outter brain are silly new(ish) fads that all the new cool kids do but....

Do the children of the west coast, mid America and up north hang ridiculously heavy things like 300 lb shackles, 200 lb crane hooks and motor heads off their hitchs locally?

To top it off they are usually suspended with the thinnest of chicken wire or whatever they could find out behind the outhouse..

Not to give a stereotype because idiots tend to drive fords(sometimes) but they all drive what we call cookie cutter Chevrolets because they all look the EXACT damn same.......

Holy Moses...I'm a life long Georgian and I've never seen such a ridiculous thing. Although, it would be on a Chevy here too...Z71 extended cab.

Yeah I've seen that nonsense before, looks like crap. Oh but if you don't like it & say something about it...you're a 'hater'.

Here's a good example of how to pull it off right...'Merica!

Looks like a wrecking ball that would hit everything on the front of the truck within its reach.

please tell me you're kidding about that being the "right" way.

Quick, what kind of head is it? maybe it's a chevy and he's just taking around spare parts?? :P

That's got to be illegal, can you imagine that coming loose on the highway at 70+.

OH, I get it. He's saying his truck gives head, ie: it sucks? LMAO

What the ... ? Why?


Is this some redneck method for getting more weight at the rear end for traction? I don't get it. Definitely a hazard though!

Not much of that crap around here, kids are into lowering civics, excessive camber, "stance" and stretching tires onto rims that are too wide. You're deemed a "hater" if you disagree with it, can't wait for this fad to die.

Shortly after we moved to N AL from FL if I recall correctly FL passed a law saying you couldn't have such things hanging from your bumper. You can get pulled over and written a ticket for anything other than stock or trailer towing ie towing harness or chain links for safety chain hookup...

Sounds like they have dealt with the stupidity there.. These things are NOT safe from the setups I have been seeing, definitely asking to hurt someone..

I will say the motor head is pretty ***king stupid
