denverd1 02-04-2009 1:05 PM

Pierce, its a long story... the newb was talking shid about another members rig and got told to put his truck up. So this isn't about tow rigs, its about proving that he has a truck so that he can start shid on wakeworld. <BR> <BR>"dude are u serrious? put ur truck up then talk wow" <BR>No thanks. Got a lot more to do than argue with a moron today.

meathead65 02-04-2009 1:07 PM

My point to Andy is that he needs to lighten up...if he is defined by his Truck, then he has issues. Yes, it's a nice truck. My issue is his statements that "gas trucks are for girls" or "lowered trucks are for Mexican's" type statements are out of line. He likes his truck...hooray. I'm not jealous....I've owned about 1.5 vehicles for every year he's been alive. The thread was started by someone looking for advice on a tow vehicle...very few replies actually even addressed that question. <BR> <BR>Maybe I'm just in a bad mood lately, but I have little tolerance for ignorance...it makes an ugly world just that much uglier.

themxercr85 02-04-2009 7:10 PM

Sounds like someone is a little full of himself whatever though man. Your truck isnt even manly as the way you define "manly", its barely lifted and looks like almost every other big diesel truck, dont get me wrong its nice and all, I wish I had a pick up, but Its no more manly than a stock truck, besides some fat 31's...

michridr69 02-04-2009 7:12 PM

dude its not even lifted i just have m'ts and im not full of my self i dont even know why people are tweakin out

themxercr85 02-04-2009 7:30 PM

Im not tryin to rip on you just sayin you come off like a dbag dude, for example, in the other thread, you ripped on some guy for having a Sanger.... thats pretty low man, especially if thats all someone can afford to be able to ride.

themxercr85 02-04-2009 8:05 PM

"people are just jelious"?? <BR> <BR>Are you kidding me? Im no where near jelious, I have pretty much everything a 17 year old could ask for man. But I dont show it all off and compare it to others, If some guys just bot a wake boat for 10 grand and he takes pride in it I'm super happy for him andy would put him down for having something less then a sanger, considering he already ripped on a guy because he had a sanger... typical MC/BU guys. Its how he handles himself and how he boats about himself and how he shoves down almost everyone.

mc4life 02-04-2009 8:11 PM

acually bro he was not ripping on him, he was proclaiming he was just backin stuff up that the sanger cat had said earlier

Bryan I didnt mean to say sangers arent nice boats or anything I have no idea how much they ding you, but you dont rip on someone because of what boat they whip. As long as they are proud of it and it fits their likes you should be happy for them, and not saying you have a sanger you cant talk, and then BU rider saying sangers are a POS. Its just un-called for. People work hard towards these things and if other people go out of their way to bash them it doesnt feel too good. Thats all I'm saying.

This is prior to switching out all of those stickers. The big LF has been changed to the 08 style LF logo, the lower left is now a big red quicksilver sticker. The middle over the grip on the rear window is a Virginia Tech sticker. The right side is now a billabong sticker, and on the left rear window is an Ambush sticker and a Wake'N'Skate sticker. The right rear window rocks a WakeWorld sticker as well. Some of them are about to get changed out though, since it's been like that for over a year and I feel as though it's time for a change =P. <BR> <BR>Not my tow vehicle yet, since I still need to drop the cash on a hitch, but once I actually have some money to do so, I'll be dragging our deckboat and jetskis with it. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/666428.jpg" alt="Upload">

Andy, you are so full of crap it is painful. You "drive a rig for a large heat treating company 100K miles a year", been doing it for 3 years, and are 20 years old. Well, Sir, I hold a Commercial Driver's License, and have had it for 24 years. DOT regs prohibit commercial drivers under the age of 21 from operating across state lines....so your either running illegal, or completely full of crap.

Coming to Twitch's defense, he is a good kid with good morals and a good work ethic especially in this day and age of kids thinking My Super Sweet 16 is real life. His family does well and he never gets on here and acts like a lot of the teens that lurk. This Andy though is coming off as a DB hopefully that will change.

Nice setup Andy -- But is that a Ski-Don't I spy in the back?? Please tell me you keep the Polaris/Arctic Cat's in the back to keep them nice and pretty haha. Where you ride at, U.P. or what? <BR> <BR>But just a question - how do you cross state lines in a semi under 21? You get your CDL outta state or something?

Not mine. But oh, how I wish it was... one of the cleanest most beautiful trucks I've seen. GMC 3500 crew w/Amp (Les Schwab) 20" wheels. This was parked at the North entrance to the Seattle Boat Show, and I stopped to admire it every day I was at the show.

cal that may be an illusion but that rear end seems to be dragging .It must have one hell of a boat its pulling or that 3500 isnt too impressive.

westsiderippa 02-05-2009 5:37 PM

hate your so right. those of us that have been here a while remember exactly how twitch introduced himself with his MC thread.....we checked him and he has been a great resource for info and provided some great advise to people ever since. (high five) so i hope andy is going to get the same lesson/beat down and will wind up being a good source of info for the future lookie looes on WW. so take your lumpings andy, get over it and welcome to WW. <BR> <BR>oh yah i almost forgot my new tow rig!!! <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65921/666793.jpg" alt="Upload">

You guys got me all worked up for a new rig....what's the opinion on an 08 F250, 6.4 PS. This particular truck has a 6" lift, I think 37's, and tons of flashy fluff. Is the 6.4 still getting the bugs worked out? Truck has 7K miles on it. I've had 2 6.0 PSD's, and they both left me stranded a couple times...caused me to go to Cummins in 2006. <BR> <BR>For the lifted guys....how much does a properly installed suspension lift decrease your towing capacity? I regularly will need to pull up to 12.5K on a conventional hitch.

phenom_1819 02-05-2009 6:15 PM

Bill, I think it's an illusion from the angle of the shot and the crappy-ness of my phone's camera, it was sitting level and looked solid.

westsiderippa 02-05-2009 6:28 PM

meathead, im am loving my rig right now. i had a 05 with the 6.0 and yes i got stranded once when my high pressure oil pump went out but who didnt have that problem. reason i love this 08, first off its so smooth and quiet. i never have been one too chip, lift or do many mods to my diesels but im not opposed to it so im not much help there. i like the twin turbo. it rolls on smooth were my 05 had a harder hit. if im correct the turbos roll on in series? first one than a smooth transition to the second, but im not sure exactly. mine is a late 08 so it had the major recalls already done, i.e. flame throwing exaust, coolent venturi issue and regeneration cycle program issue, seat belt mount issue. all these were fixed before my truck was delivered so........ my truck was sitting on the lot for a few months so it had a pully sqeak due to lack of lubrication from not being ran, fixed in a few hrs. no issues at 4100 miles but its got a long life ahead of her so who knows. over all the interior of the 08 is insane on the lariet. it feels more roomy than my 05, the dash feels like it is more forward and up, very classy with a sport look with the chrome bezels and such with the woodgrain look intermixed. its a deffinent tow truck, it likes having a trailer back there. going from a 350 to a 250 has not been an issue but i think i might need to put a super spring in the rear when towing the 10k dump trailer. but i have not been working wit my bro lately so i dont know yet. tows my vlx like its not even there.
