Default How Big Is Your Rig?

I was out with the wife running errands. I made her drive her seasonal car of choice which is a little chevy hhr pimped out with black chrome accents and wheels, haha. I am riding shotgun and catching up with this forum on my Blackberry and out of nowhere we almost get run over by a late 90's Dodge dually 3500 with smokestacks behind the cab that were the size of a coffee can!! It was black and had chrome sticker accross the back that said STROKE THIS. I was reading another post related to vehicles and it got me thinking, how big are most people in this forums hunting rigs. I roll in a stock 04 F-150 4X4, what is yours?

An s-10 will work and save you gas. Before the truck I have a White 97 Wrangler with 35" tires, I could go almost anywhere but had issues with cargo room.

Had to choose other since I don't drive a truck.



215/50/17r's for this one. They are expensive enough, I don't need to mess with it. I will never buy a car with 17 inch rims again!!!

My old Ranger had 6 inches of suspension lift with 32/10.5 Good Rich AT's though.

Stock for now on 265/75/16 Terra Grapplers (pictured below are my old tires when I first bought it). I'm getting about 19-20mpg doing backroad/highway driving.




Not sure where I'm going with this one. I'm contemplating putting a mild lift on this summer, but gas prices are a bit intimidating, so who knows. I had a 96 tacoma that started off stock, and when I was done with it, it looked like this:

'95 Nissan Pathfinder.
Aftermarket stuff just isn't for me, I figure I'd be screwing around with millions spent on R&D if I started changing stuff. I laugh when I see the small pickups that are lowered with spoilers on the back so you can't put anything in it, everytime I see one I laugh and think "what a moron" (sorry to any morons I may have offended).
The Pathfinder fits all my tools and work equipment with only one rear seat down, its a skinny truck so I can go places a Navigator or 3500 can't go, and unlike most SUV drivers in Toronto I use the 4x4, and not just in winter.
