Just for the record I've never done any of these pranks but I thought they'd be a cool way of getting revenge on a jerk. To be honest with you guys I prolly wouldn't have the guts to go through with any of it because trucks are kinda sacred to myself and other guys so....

Anyways....

Prolly the worst one I could possibly think of, and it's one that I came up with would have to be.....

Step 1 You need to get a five foot long length of chain and two bolts with nuts.

Step 2 Get under the person's truck, wrap a chain around one dual exhaust pipe and bolt it. Run the chain through his U-joints, or wrap it around the driveshaft if the chain is too big, wrap the chain around the other exhaust pipe and bolt it.

Step 3 Hide in some bushes and wait for the poor fool to put his truck in drive and 'winch' his exhaust system off.

You can substitute frame, through rim, crossmember or sparetire for exhaust pipe in the above prank. I would like to see it happen to a junkyard car just see if it would work. I hope nobody ever has that happen to them!

The other prank is a little bit nicer. You need to get some chain and cut it to the length of the closest point from the drive shaft. Attach the chain to the driveshaft and wait for the person to leave. The chain will hit the bottom of the bed as soon as he get's going but won't make any noise when he's stopped. If this person's not the biggest gear head he might take it to a shop to get it fixed. (LOL moron)

Another prank is to ducktape a huge bolt or some other wieghty object to the drive shaft. That should cause some nasty vibration at highway speeds.

A good phsychological trick is to find someone who is EXTREMELY into their car. This pranks was actually described to me by an aircraft mechanic friend of mine, he's in his 50's. Anyways back in the day his buddy had a '67 427 Corvette and used to always brag about it. He's a Ford guy and got sick of it. He started to drop one or two drops of used oil under this guys car every night.... at the end of a week he'd squirt some dirty oil under the engine...... after about a month of this he just dumped about a quart of dirty oil all over the ground and splashed it under the engine. Shortly after that the kid rebuilt the 427 thinking that it had a huge oil leak..... the engine was flawless ofcourse....

Well this is long enough.... i'll understand if this thread is too stupid to reply to

Take care guys.....

 

I like the oil trick. That's funny. Anybody ever heard of one that goes like this? Get a large piece of bubble wrap, the ones with the big 1 inch diameter bubbles. Take it and wrap it around the passenger side wheel of smoebody's car, then wait. When they start to move the car will crush the bubbles making a horrible pop-pop-pop sound. It'll scare the $*&% right out of them. Of course, this only works if they don't walk by the passenger side before they get into their car.

The best prank I ever heard of was played on a friend of mine a few years ago. He had been having some problems with his Suburban's transmission and ended up having it rebuilt. He'd only had it back for a few days when he volunteeered to drive a bunch of guys to lunch. He'd been telling everybody how happy he was with the work and how well the truck was running. They all jumped into the truck, he started and put into reverse. The truck wouldn't move; he revved the motor and it still wouldn't move; shifted it back into park, then to reverse and it still wouldn't move. By this time he was getting really upset (he could curse like a sailor and was practicing this talent) and giving the guys a real earful. It was about that time that he noticed that a couple of the guys were laughing their behinds off.

After cursing them for a couple of minutes, they all got out of the truck and took him to the back. Looking underneath, he discovered the problem. It seems that a couple of the guys had brought jackstands to work and later in the morning, had jacked up the Suburban and set the jackstands up so that the tires barely cleared the pavement. Needless to say, it was all he could do to keep from choking those guys.

 

i have a few

put break crumbs around his car and then wait for the seaguls to come, and let nature take it course (greywolf gave me this idea)

put a fish under his exhaust manifold

in the cold weather dip dirty pics in hot water and paste them on his car

put sandwich meat on his paint it'kll turn is several shades lighter

that's all i can think of for now

 

Some of these so-called pranks are actually Vandalism.

yeah i hear ya dennis, but the good thing is that i have never done them and i will never do them. my buds tell me about them so that's how i know. i don't mess with other peoples cars

 

A co worker of mine once put a very soiled baby diaper up under a guys dash in the vents. He said that he sold the car that way because he could never find the smell. He said the guy was playing a lot of pranks on him so that's the reason he did it but pranks with peoples cars aren't cool for the most part and vandalism is just plain ugly!

True. Everyone thinks they are funny... until it happends to them. I am a humerous kind of guy... and not a party-pooper, but what is the point of posting this if you never have done them and are not promoting them?

In this day and age where suspicions (sp?) are high and everyone has to keep their eyes open, I would not be messing with people's vehicles. If you do, I don't feel sorry for what might happen to you. Being physically hurt does come to mind. I know some people who will shoot you if they find you $&#*ing with their vehicle. Sometimes I don't blame them.

I put this up here to start a conversation. I've never done any of these things and probably never will. I just thought it would be funny to hear of other people coming up with wierd ways of messing with cars. It's not vandalism if you don't do it. It's just funny stuff to talk about.

I've been noticing how some people on these boards will post fairly innocent topics and will get gunned down. I'm not saying that I have been gunned down or anything like that by the moral police.... but this is a light topic and we should probably keep it that way.

So i'm really just trying to say take a chill pill lol.

Take care

 

If you're aiming at me.
If you look closely ,I said SOME.
I'm also cool with pranks.i don't need a chill pill >but,thanks for the offer !

The chain around the exhaust system comes to mind.
Duals cost $250.00 to install up her.

Putting a plastic grip-tie around a driveshaft is a prank.
Having the guy rip his exhaust off is vandalism.

When my friend Ray got married,I was his best man,so that made me in charge of pranks.

I felt bad though when the open can of oysters that placed on the exhaust manifold tipped over and spilled out over the exhaust.Boy did that stink. He said it smelled like marriage.

I also put shaving cream & rice in their bed.
Jello in the bathtub.

These are pranks .
Having someone RIP off their exhaust isn't.
That's vandalism.

Putting oil under a car so a guy thinks his engine is leaking is a prank.
Letting him remove a perfectly good engine ISN'T
That's cruel.

Jacking the car up so the tires barely touch ,is a prank.
Funny too,Unless the person has to take someone to the hopsital when this happens.

I got a couple pranks.

1: only works in freezing weather, spray water on the windshield until it gets thick. They will most likly break at least one scraper.

2: put a rubber on the end of the tail pipe. when they start the car it will pop. I think you get the idea.

some others the are vandalism were one that were done on the movie "Men At Work". Its ok in the movies not in real life.

 

Here's a couple:

1) When in high school, my friend had a 4x4 s-15 w/a v-6 that the sliding back glass didn't latch on. So we all went to a basketball game at the school and during the game, another friend and I slipped into the parking lot and slid the back glass open and proceeded to the inside of the vehicle. We did the usual like turn the heater up full blast hot, turned the radio full blast. We then unscrewed the antenna and placed it behind the seat. Thinking that we needed something more, we popped the hood and proceeded to remove the #6 spark plug wire. When he got in the truck and turned the key on, he screamed loud enough to hear it on the other side of the lot!!! When he started the truck, of course it was missing a little, so he just dropped it in drive and took off. Of course our pay back was chasing him through the parking lot to fix his truck for him. Needless to say he was a little mad.

2) My brother in law drives a bread truck, and like mentioned in an above post, he placed a big zip tie around one of his fellow co workers drive shaft.

3) The payback to my brother in law for the above mentioned prank was when the other driver snuck into my brother in laws truck before the shift and taped a few playboy pictures to the ceiling. My brother in law didn't find out until about 2 months later when he stopped at one of his stores. He took a little nap waiting for the store to open. When his alarm went off, he looked up and there it was!!!

 

There was a guy at a place I worked who came in one day with a completely new attitude. He was a sort of stay at home geek up until then, with greasy hair like the Dad in the first "Back to the Future"...

What happened? He financed a new Thunderbird, and all of a sudden decided he was someone brand new.

This lasted a while, but one night somebody tied a foot of broomstick with a roll of toilet paper on it up under his rear bumper.

From what we heard later, everything was fine until the guy hit the highway at 85 in a 55 zone, and the car all of a sudden made a "WUURROOOOooOOOOO!!" sound in the back...

Looking in the mirror he saw a hundred yards of TP that had streamed up from the back of his car like a roostertail behind a hydroplane boat - and a blue light in the window of a CHP 5.0 mustang that was rapidly gaining on him......

In Texas anyone cought attaching chains under a truck has a 12 gauge problem.

Years back we had a guy at work buy a new VW bug and said he was in the process of checking mileage. Each day for several days we added gas to the bug. When the guy started bragging about his mileage we started hosing some out every day. Took him awhile to catch us.
