3 most overrated things

the 3 most over rated things in minitruckin :
#1, big wheels
#2 dragging
#3 stock floor body drops
  
 and  the term "minitrucking lifestyle" is a runner up
 Discuss :LOL:

Big wheels are cool but sometimes thats taken to the xtreme in my opinion.... Id rather have a rim size that fits the proportions of the vehicle and can have a tire with a sidewall..... dragging is def taken a lil far but hell lets admit it we all love it, i just hate to see a nice truck destroyed from draggin'....... sfbd is def not over rated in my opinion due to how bad the step from a traditional looks and also all the headroom lost altho as of late ive been raising floor right beside the frame, dropping body mounts and angling plates way in then dropping set mounts so stock carpet goes in and no headroom is lost plus theres no step..... I do think the lifestyle thing is pushed a lil hard but i will say there are alot of us including u im sure dev that have jobs, reg lives, families and still pretty much think of the trucks 95 % of the time then there are those that do this stuff a year or 5 and move on

how is stock floor body drop over rated??? the things that our fellow fabricators can do w/ metal to support a whole truck yet lay body, and with sfbd every frame is custom, traditional bd almost all looked the same..... thats my 2 cents

#1. Air Bags#2. Dragging#3. Oversized Rims

I definitely appreciate a big wheel, however I think the biggest thing that matters is a nice looking wheel.  To go along with that though, it bothers me to see a tiny wheel with a tiny tire.  Makes it look like they didn't want to put the effort into making something normal fit. I love dragging, love watching dumbasses just destroy their vehicle, lol.  I use to drag occasionally, but I was also just out of high school. Not real sure how a SFBD is overrated.  If I was doing a daily driver project though, I would most likely do a traditional drop just for time purposes, you could do the major traditional drop in a weekend.  There are certain circumstances though where a traditional takes up too much head room.  Like a blazer.   The lifestyle thing is starting to get old, but there is always going to be some coined term to describe how each person is or isn't as "hardcore" as someone else. 

3 most things over rated. 1. Built not bought 2. Drag and destroy3. Dickies with high top socks

flat black paint is catching up quickly...but yes I still love it i want to add welding useless bars to your frame bc it looks cool to the list

#1 overrated item found on a truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!USELESS TUBES, ran all over bridges, notches, tanks, mounts, hell even trailer hitches #2black primer #3super crazy wide rear wheels... especially when they are on a 4 cylinder minitruck, LOL  

apparently #1 overrated thing is discussion, lol.   either that or it somehow means, please make your own list.  Just fucking with you guys who already posted.  I wouldn't mind seeing peoples opinions more than just a list of their own though.
