    Lowering a truck makes about as much sense beating rocks down a rifle barrel.

    I've seen 4x4 jeeps lowered by these "homie" dbags. One day I ran across a samarai slammed down on tiny little wheels. I tried to buy it for 2k. The guy wouldn't come down because " the rims are worth 500". Lol. I offered to let him keep them but he wouldn't budge. I was gonna resurrect it with at least 31" tires.

    Problem is...you finally realize a dream shop like that and, sooner than expected, your widow is selling the contents on Craig's List.
    Sad to contemplate but if that happened to this guy, there would be no Craigslist. Both his sons are incredible gearheads, just like their dad. They'd make sure their mom got top dollar for not just the cars but also the extensive collection of rare parts in that shop.

    I know some of you have drooled over the Cobra but the tab can break a million or more. Well here is the answer to your dreams at only about $15k
    That's really neat, but not $15k neat. You can build a replicar Cobra for not much more than that and have something you can actually drive.

    Yes, but having it powered by a 4 cyl is not my idea. An engine you would want in that would be hard to bring in under $10k with you doing the work, for real performance the engine will begin at about $15k and beyond, way beyond.

    Nah, you can get a LQ4 for around $500. Good cheap power right there... I've thought about building a Cobra replicar myself, but I have too many other projects as it is. Last time I was looking into it I was figuring around $18k

    Slammed trucks can haul as much as any "normal" height truck.......
    Lifted trucks are actually the ones that become useless.
