Reason 1. Stacks are cool even if it is gas.

Reason 2. Check out Todds79 crew build in the louisiana forum. Polished fuel doors look good if done correctly.

I'm still down on stacks, unless they are there purely for function, i.e. crossing ponds But I have seen, albeit rarely, polished gas door covers I liked. so there

Also to retain Mall-Crawler status you must NOT try to upgrade your axles/brakes to compensate for the huge lift and larger tires. Optimum setup is 54 Boggers on a Dana 44 TTB and a Ford 8.8 rear.

Good looking truck and it seems the pics were posted in the correct thread. Mall crawler alert!

I can see 4 well known Mall Crawler traits.

Suspension parts painted an obnoxiously obvious color
Chrome fuel doors
Firestone Wilderness ATs
Super slick paint job.


Just jokes man. Nice truck

ok...new mall crawler spec.

the sidewinder automatic fold down steps. Must buy 4 for 4 door trucks. A guy came to my work today with those on a 07 or 08 Chevy 2500. That thing was chromed to the nuts and had 35" nittos on 20" rims.

It screamed Mall Crawler
