Stretched tire look

It’s unfortunate that shitting on other peoples rigs is your idea of entertainment.

That's your opinion, and I'll fight for your right to have that opinion.

Stretched tires, in my opinion, are a stupid enough idea that they are worthy of public ridicule for all of the reasons I've already mentioned. I'm certainly not prejudice to that point against everything that doesn't conform to what I believe is a good idea.

......and I'm not always so negative - you'll recall I said I liked the headlights after all

And there’s that too, tone just doesn’t come off well on the interwebs, so it’s easy for people to just assume you’re an ******* lol

Cheers!

I am an *******, I'm ok with it. If I don't like you or something you do, you'll definitely hear about it, but generally people need to earn my scorn. I also like to argue from pretty obscure philosophical positions just for the sake of the argument, so the scorn may not actually be heartfelt, or serious. And that absolutely does not translate online. Whatever happens after that is up to the other guy.

I never said the build doesn't bug me, it does clearly, but the fact that he has more insta followers than I do doesn't concern me in the least.

I'm always going to call out stupidity (I'm in quality control, so calling shit out is literally part of my job), and frankly I thoroughly enjoy talking trucks with anyone. This thread was about gauging the cool/uncool factor of what this guy did before it got sidetracked.

The first time I ever saw this guy's truck, it was basically the same situation - a repost from one of the big toyota groups on IG, and I basically said the same thing - love a taco, hate the stretched tire thing, and there was a big back and forth. Now 5 months later, another taco with stretched tires reposted by Spyder Auto. I didn't even realize it was the same truck/owner. I didn't seek out his personal page to call him out.

So whatever. I maintain its a public forum, and I can like or dislike whatever I want. He made the decision to engage with me after I replied to a photo posted by a business. I may have ripped on what he did to his truck, but he attacked me personally, and I'm never going to back down from that.

It's all about the Gram...and stretchy tires.

Interesting about that 33 inch tire limitation. I couldn’t google anything about that.

But according to this site some vehicle mods require a Reconstructed Vehicle Permit. It seems this guy’s tire setup is not legal.

FAQs - Reconstructed Vehicle Inspection - current

Snip:
“ What types of modifications require a Reconstructed Vehicle Permit?
The most common modifications that require a Reconstructed Vehicle Permit are:
Lowered vehicles:
Headlight height cannot be lower than 22 inches when measured from the ground to the center of the headlight.
Unrestricted suspension travel of at least 2 inches (front and rear).
There must be ample clearance (full turn to full turn) between the tires and the vehicle's frame, suspension and body.
Tires must meet or exceed manufacturers' GVWR load ratings.
Frame modifications will require pre-approval from DOT (C-Notch)
Lifted vehicles:
Tire treads protruding outside of vehicle body requires fender flares securely mounted.
Rear mud guards must cover width of tire treads, hang down to middle of rims or lower.”

You have to look at vehicle weight versus bumper height.

Vehicles 4500lbs and below can only have a max height of 29"

Vehicles 4501 to 7500 can only have a max height of 33"

But there's people not following the rule... same as people state side rocking beadlocks on the interstate
