Wait...these things have rear brakes? :O
When you can do an awesome burnout because your brakes work like a line lock, and trying to drive anything with better brakes on snow is scary because a slight tap to you locks the brakes up.

When you come home from wheeling and your truck has a bit of dirt on it and everyone says WASH YOUR TRUCK ITS SOOOOOO DIRTY.

And you just laugh and say, this? it looks f*cking clean!

Yea. I've been driving around with no tailpipe or muffler for last week and its loud as hell. Almost sounds like a diesel. I get a lot of stares and weird looks and whenever I go by a ricer or something I rev it a couple times

When your exhaust breaks and your friends call it "The rolling gas chamber".
When you drive down the road moving the steering wheel like in a "B" movie.
When your rear hatch holder upper is a broom stick.
When it's the ugliest car you own and you still pick it to drive to work or to the store.
When you love to fix all the stuff that is broken and you can't wait till the next trip to the JYard.
When you get it all fixed up and painted and it looks, runs and drives kick A$$.

Especially at the U-Pull It yard, they charge more for truck parts. I have had to tell them a few times it is not a truck because they were trying to charge me more for the parts. lol

When you steal the garden hose and leave it in the driveway to have easy access to cleaning out the mud from your rims. No one enjoys the death wobble.
