There is nothing sicker than a frame-dragging, spark-throwing, lug-tucking massive diesel truck. Am I wrong?


(Maybe I am, because in the same breath, I can state that seeing a diesel drag truck tear down a 1/4 strip in under 10 seconds made me giggle like a little kid.) But, my point is that I love the look of a laid-out hauler. From what I understand, many consider this a crime that goes against the very idea of a pickup truck that dutifully hauls and tows stuff, and even more so against the nature of a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel truck. But, I think that a truck can still haul, tow, and ride well, while looking good and rolling low. I'm certainly not saying that every truck should be built this way, for I do understand the drawbacks of modifying any vehicle in such ways. I'm just saying that I see nothing wrong with it in my eyes. Perhaps that's just the mini trucker in me. What do you think?
