Title: THE ULTIMATE TRACKER
Post by: INGERSOL on April 20, 2005, 04:11:44 AM: OK. Ã‚Â One of my favourite things is to look at wildly customized suzukis. Ã‚Â Not just the same old same old off road beasts with exo-skeletons and 33" tires. Ã‚Â I mean really fucked up crazy customized. Ã‚Â If you have any pictures, post them here.
:o

Too many postings about spring-overs, spring unders, spring-spacers.....not enough BMW conversion threads. Ã‚Â Well here it is. Ã‚Â

To all you rockcrawlers I say HA! Ã‚Â You rig isn't the Tightest Tracker....this is! Ã‚Â I love it. Ã‚Â Just when you think you have seen the most creative, unthinkable, ugly, innovative, imaginative, startling, beautiful vehicle....you see one of these.

Look at this. Ã‚Â The guy has cut a Suzuki "S" into the hood, put some diamond plate behind it and back lit it. Ã‚Â That is damn creative.

IMHO

Post by: INGERSOL on April 20, 2005, 05:17:19 AM: Its completely misguided! You're right. You lift a truck...you drop a car. This is a cardinal rule of customizing. But in my view, this is part of the beauty of it. This person is going against all conventional wisdom and making a truly fuckedup looking ride.
Title: Re: THE ULTIMATE TRACKER
Post by: INGERSOL on April 20, 2005, 05:24:21 AM: These are examples of people who have broken cardinal rule of customizing #1 (see above).

Never lower your truck.

Never lift your car.

Post by: Natebert on April 20, 2005, 07:21:29 AM: Some may argue that a 4dr TracKick is a car, similiar to that of a Subaru. With it being IFS, a wagon, grocery getter, 7 inches of ground clearance, 27 inch tire, girlie car. Its hard to mistake a stocker TracKick as a 'truck'.

I can't think of many people on here who even refer to a TracKick as a truck and not a trucklet.

When most people here the word truck they think of something like this

or this

Not this

Look they even take the photo to make it look like it has more ground clearance... *funny*

This one actually looks half-way decent... with wire wheels it looks like absolute shit. I still don't understand the whole putting really wide, short, low-profile tires on Trackicks that stick two inches out past the fenders deal, but hey, it's their rig, money, and time. :-/

Post by: kansascitytracker on April 21, 2005, 04:52:37 AM: Anyone notice, NONE of these people are on here? Guess Zukiworlds a 4X4 type site. These all do exactly what their owners wanted, people talking about them, and turning their heads, although, I doubt they wanted people saying what they are about them!

Hey I like the chromalusion..

I was thinking for a while about doing that to mine.. but I realized that I would just end up scratching it up, so , why?

...yes this site is definitely a 4x4 type site, but looking at these crazy visions of what a custom tracker/gv looks like can really give you some interesting ideas. Come on...wouldn't this...
(http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/2/web/302000-302999/302695_83_full.jpg)
look better painted like this...
(http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/261000-261999/261469_26_full.jpg)
Of course it would. I like when I see rides that blur the line between custom show car and off road beast.

Like this...

I'm not sure I'd call this an "off road beast'.

Maybe a driveway queen.

Man thats a high dollar paint job for a stock Ford!!!!!

All this needs is a turbo V-6 from a Buick Grand National and then it'll really be kick ass!!!!!

Whats wrong with spending $5000 on a chormalusion paint job just to scratch the shit out of it on the trail. Do it man! ;D You need a sponsor like those trophy truck guys. I love the toyota trophy trucks. that paint job looks so facking cool.
