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?

Mine doesnt really fit the options. its an 98 s10 with 235s, pretty big tires for the truck, with american racing rims and some other aftermarket stuff like a alpine stereo, etc.

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.
