I see stock 5th gens on the east side(Tucson) all the time now. They usually don't even notice me. If they're not modified with a guy driving, I can basically count on them to not even notice my truck or the fact that they are in something more than a pretty grocery getter.
Once in awhile though I see that sweet custom build, we share the nod, and both go on our ways, knowing that if the SHTF, we'd be able to wheel that S***, rescue stuck people, get the groceries, and save the day.
It's basically the hero-at-the-ready salute.
