The Anti Bro thread -------Now its about boats?????

Might be a bit O.T. but its Tacoma relevant. I have to vent / see if anyone else has this issue. Maybe it's a Vegas or Socal thing but I ALWAYS get guys that drive Bro-dozers pacing me on the freeway or flexing on my Tacoma at stop lights with their 40" muds on 22" chrome rims are somehow going to smoke my truck or their 10" lift is going to make me feel bad about my 3" lift and 32"s. Are these dudes just retarded and don't see the obvious different application of a prerunner truck opposed to a useless oversized ford / chevy that is the epitome of excess and impracticality that gets 8 miles to the gallon at best to turn chest high tires under a full size four door tank. Or maybe its just a case of Little Man Syndrome and their dumbass bro-dozer makes up for that.
I have a 3" lift, tires a spare carrier in the back and 9" lights. Is this just me or does anyone have a typical encounter with these trucks? Getting annoyed with it, hope they fall into a bonfire at dumont or havasu drunk from bro-light. JK. but seriously.

this is a great example of driver and vehicle.

Herhaher dude bro, don't you know that way lifted trucks score all the way hottest skunks? and it helps when you drink tons of brewskis at the dunes first, chicks love that.

its the dude bro mentality, don't take it personal. i mean do you really expect too much from them? little dick+retarded lifted truck= std's, and that's all they really want...

believe it or not, I've had the same encounter with another taco. a guy with a 6" lift and 35s. just because i had only a 3" lift, he "flexed" on me too. i actually drove up to him in the parking lot to say whats up and have truck talk, and the douche had to say something like, "when u lift up to 6" and get 35s then you can talk to me. bc then you'll be cool." I couldn't believe it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he was on here.

I forgot what else was on this guy's truck, but it was in the parking lot at the Sierra-at-Tahoe ski resort in Lake Tahoe last winter. Please if that guy is on this board reading this, just know that I look at him the same way everyone else looks at the douche in the OP's picture

This "flex" term confuses me.

But I do know people tend to MASSIVELY underestimate the capabilities of our trucks. I've humbled many a dudebro.

Some people live through their vehicles. It's how they identify themselves I guess. Me, I basically use my truck as a way to get from point A to B and bring my toys and loved ones with me.

The world is full of posers. More people lift their trucks for looks than for increased capability offroad. Damn, even the the trucks themselves are shades of their former selves, more for looks, creature comforts and gas mileage than for toughness and utility. My advice would be to just keep being yourself and not worry about the dumbasses "flexing" on you. If all they have is their truck, you should pity them.

I've gotten flexed-on by another Tacoma owner. 6" lift on his BSP. Looked pretty sweet. Gave me that "psshhh" look. I just left Best Buy and was at a light when he rolled up on me.

Yea it is pretty funny. There is a lot of Team Quest out here, because of Dan Hendo's gym. It's like five min drive from my house. My buddy sees Sokaju a lot at the Trader Joe's out here.
