Fredsvt Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Well, we got a nice one in today. A 2007 Silverado HD duramax truck. Every possible add on and gizmo added to it. It came from this place: http://www.xtremediesel.com/ They use their own trucks as "showcases" for how much junk you can throw at a truck and make it useless. This is the truck: http://www.xtremediesel.com/gmduramax66l075-08lmm.aspx He have all the crap added, with all the stickers all over the truck. But he can't do an oil change. That's what it came in for. On the truck, of course, is the initials of the place. XDP. We had so much fun with that today, as did our secretary. XDP, Xtreme Double Penetration or as our secretary said, without any prompting, "that truck looks so dumb, who's is it?" We said "XDP's" She replied, "Oh, Xtremely Dinky Penis" and walked away. I never laughed so hard! Fits perfectly for the kid owner of it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriggs Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 HAHA, they list xdp fuel additive as a modification?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 This begs the question; What is that truck supposed to perform? Don't get me wrong, I get it. It is a modern day form of hot-rodding. For me it's not the trucks that make me laugh, it's the idiots that open their wallets to any company or Internet site and bolt on any and every shiny part just for the hell of it or because some jack-off on the Internet said "you need this."

Matt Saunoras Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 still can't understand why anyone would want to play dress up with their truck. it no longer serves a practical purpose. the term christmas tree comes to mind guarantee that truck will never see a load, offroad use or a drag strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredsvt Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Exactly, it's useless off road, as the torsion bar x-member is at or lower than stock height with the truss system to lower it. Even with the bypass shocks, it's got about 1.5" of total suspension travel in the front. The bump stops when lifted have just about that much before they hit the lower arms. It's not like you can load the bed, as the bed floor is at my head level when it's parked. It does have a 12" drop hitch on it. More stupidity. It amazes me, with what these things cost new, to do such things. Then they call it a POS when all the aftermarket garbage causes failures. Those 38x15.5x20 tires will, I'm sure destroy the stock sealed front wheel bearings in aftermarket knuckles. Its got easily double the turning radius of a 1999-2004 super duty. It rides like an old leaf sprung dodge power wagon. Ouch. Keith, what does it perform? It's a huge tax write off for the kid who drives it, as he's a co-owner of the place that sells all the crap that's on it. I'd rather have a stock Raptor, to go with my Lightning.

Keith Browning Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I guess those guys are here in Joisey? Answered my own question. They are right here in Wall Township on 34. Your neighborhood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredsvt Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yep, about 5 minutes from where I work. Too much money and too little brains. You should see their 2010 Jeep Wrangler. 3.8 minivan engine and all, with 38" tires on it too. Talk about SLOW.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Adema Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Whenever I see trucks like that, (and around here they're plentiful), I have a powerful desire to deliver a well-deserved smack in the head to the chump behind the wheel. My rage increases with my age..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredsvt Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I wish I had a missile launcher... On my way to work each day I drive down a 2 lane divided highway. This particular road is known for higher than "normal" highway speeds. I'm in the left lane, passing people, mind you, I'm doing north of 80, south of 100. Up comes a Chevy pickup, so close all I could see in my mirror is a chevy badge, and part of the front bumper. He sticks there for a good mile as I'm passing people and accelerating. I finally get an opening in the right lane, signal, and he's already weaved right, then left, and blows past me with his Duramax with straight pipes howling. Remember I'm now at ~110 mph. Those LT tires must love those speeds. Arseholes like that are ones I wish for my last employers old wheel lift, with that nice half inch thick, rubber covered push bumper.
