 If you're reading the September issue of 8-Lug you know that the cover featured Marlon Reyes' truck with the question "Awesome or Ugly? You decide". Well...what do you think?

5. I LOVE the Cen Cal look!!! I think what is more important is as a Magazine shouldn't you be showing what the truck scene is doing not trying to make it what you want! Whatever the style it must have caught your eye enough to feature it at all. Every truck style has lovers and haters but you should show them as they are built not try to make them into cookie cutter styles because your personal taste.

6. I agree with MrBrian125. The CenCal look is growing by leaps and bounds. I LOVE THE CENCAL LOOK! This is a reflection of where the diesel scene is headed. The huge tire and small rim look is that of the 80's-90's. I sometimes don't think that pictures do the trucks justice. The bottom line is that there is a overwhelming amount of guys all around the US that can appreciate the look and stand out in a crowd if they tried it. My truck does not see mud and therefore that's the reason behind my powder coated lift and big rims and small tires. I might be in the minority but the fact that I get to enjoy other diesel trucks and their style in 8-Lug is great! But please do not alienate the CenCal look because you don't like it. Because of progression this may be where the diesel truck scene is headed.

7. LOVE CENCAL LOOK!

The days of the cartoon balloon tires are over, The CENCAL look has started to dominate SEMA, so why has 8 Lug not caught on yet. If they want to retain there readers then they need to move towards a more progressive look.

The 80's and 90's are over

8. The "Cen Cal look" is absolutely terrible. These folks go out and buy work trucks, lift them, powdercoat everything, and then wrap there wheels in what looks like low profile mud terrain tires. 3/4 ton & 1-ton American trucks are not a luxury, sports or low rider car; keep the low profiles off. It almost seems as if trends of Oakland have seeped into Central California. 8-Lug should steer clear of any of these ridiculous trucks. Actually show the ones that are done up and for a change actually being used like for what they're intended for.

10. id like to see numbers on how many people atcually use their 8 lugs trucks for what they're intended for. the 24x14's on my truck with the load range e tires mounted to them are still within the factory rated tow specifications, so realistically i could tow what a stock 350 could regardless of wheel and tire combo...i built my truck the way i wanted to because its mine and ill spend my money the way i want to. ill keep doing what im doing because it makes me happy. hater gonna hate!

11. In my opinion the CEN CAL looks bad on 90% of the trucks. There are a select few that look good. It doesn't matter what I think tho. I built my truck, with my money, the way I wanted to for my intended purposes. The people with the CEN-CAL look did too. It's not my issue if they get death wobble because of the 4" spacers and 24x14" wheels. The only thing that genuinely matters is wether or not the owner loves their truck or not. I love mine and thats all that counts.

For the Vote, YES on Cen-Cal

13. It's a matter of taste, so who cares? Everyone is different.
