Any fans of big Trucks here?

When I was in the market for my Z, I was actually thinking of going the truck route and almost waited for the 400hp svt raptor. I love my Z, bit watching these guys do 100+ in the desert looks like a blast

Hell yeah that Raptor would be so awesome.

That 400hp and fox shocks makes that thing go through the desert like crazy. And I actually appreciate the engineering; instead of making it REALLY big (tall), they made a better shock that would take more impact, performing like many of the higher raised vehicles, but with much better handling.

Completely different truck than yours. Yours looks like it's made to pull the moon closer to the earth, that truck is all about desert carving.

One thing that always grinds my gears about big lifted pickups are guys that drive around with huge tires and no mudflaps! Even before I got the Z, I was always annoyed when a truck launched a small rock or general crap from the road that hits my truck's windshield, which ain't exactly low to the ground! Yeah, I've got a small lift and larger than stock tires but I kept my flaps on. Also, anyone else annoyed with big trucks and HID bulbs that either aren't aimed properly or are not housed in a proper projector assembly?

We have that mudflap law here, but the cops can't catch every fish in the sea.
