Now the vision of you all cholo’ed out with a low rider is stuck in my head.


Now we have a Halloween idea...
HAHAHAHAHA, I sorta dressed like one one time during Halloween :thumbsup::rofl::rofl::rofl: I was afraid to go out like that though since the 2x rival Mexican gang neighborhoods were, really, just a few blocks away. I just didn't want to do it. HAHAHAHAHA :boltout::peep:

My stepbrother has a maroon 4 door V8 2WD. It’s a nice truck.

Is the limited different exterior wise like a T4R with flares or trim? Or is it just interior? Can’t say I’ve seen non color matched flares or body cladding aside from a small plastic strip 2”-ish strip of trim on the lower door on the 1st gens.
I think it's mostly interior upgrades for the Limited trim. Sunroof, Wood-grain dash, outside temp, seater heaters. I think that's about it. Mine still has leather, roll down rear window, color matched bumper and flares, tow package.
First car that I had...
Long story short,
I stole it in Louisiana went down to South Padre island (Texas) hung out for a couple weeks.
Drove all the way to Connecticut (home)
Had it for a couple months.
All messed up on cocaine, which started the hole mess, driving down the road all screwed up, 1 day and a cop finally decided to pull me over.
I floor it (cocaine again) smash into an electrical box, not wearing seatbelt of course.
Smash my jaw into the steering wheel (teeth may have stuck to it) cop thought I was dead... Lifestar to hospital, woke up cuffed to the bed, like I could move...

My first car/truck at 17, was a 1960 Chevy truck. My grandpa gave it to me, only because the city of San Diego made him get rid of it. I don't know how it made it back to my parents house in the condition it was in. It had a 283ci v8 with a castiron 2 speed automatic, drum brakes all around with a single bowl master cylinder. It had no seat just a pair of milk crates and a piece of ply wood for a seat. The transmission tunnel cover was not in place so you were able to watch the freeway through the floor. After a few months of working on it after school and many trips searching for missing parts, I thought it was road worthy. It was like an episode of roadkill for the first couple of months when ever my dad or I tried to drive it. My dad took it to work one day and the generator caught fire while he was in a meeting. I came within a couple of inches of rear ending someone after the one of the wheel cylinders popped open. Had the positive battery cables fall onto the exhaust manifold and short out while on the freeway, had my mom start the truck while I had the burnt ends of the battery cable together. Lots of misadventures in that truck. Wish I still had it.
