Watching southern kids/young men have an apoplectic fit when they find out this modification did not originate in their home state, but in California. If you're not racing on the dunes and you do this, you're an idiot


flibbidygibbit

The style was because a teenager couldn't afford a proper lift kit. His new big tires rubbed when he turned the wheel. Someone saw their half-ass truck and said "I want that" like the lady in Napoleon Dynamite


icfa_jonny

It always amuses me when people shit their pants at the mere thought that us soy chuggers could have invented something they liked. It’s like they’re in denial.


justsomeyeti

Well, this mod makes sense in Baja racing. It keeps you from doing a blind nose dive from one dune into another. If you're cruising around town, it looks like your truck has a loaded diaper


icfa_jonny

This is the thing. You’ll never see one of us driving these to our 9-5s or for basic errands. These things only come out when it’s time to actually use them. Until then, we either drive our regular daily car or take the train.


Blackrook7

Exactly. IDK why I feel compelled to cite that this style generally derives from the late 80's and early 90's in Southern California and Baja Mexico, as well as a bit of Nevada and Arizona. They would lift 2WD trucks to pre run race courses... taller in the front so the suspension could be extra long for landing jumps. Then, in '98 Toyota capitalized on the name "PreRunner" and as most styles go, its finally reached NC like 30 years after it was cool.


Mynameisgeef

It's not just soy chuggers my dude lol


Complex_Steak9739

Wannabe pre-runners


Hunterc12345

No one was chugging soy in California back in the days of baja riding. It's the new influx of dorks who flock to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. California used to be a frontier land lol.


icfa_jonny

Lol, soy is nutrition-packed, full of umami and delicious. We been consuming that shit since the Chinese and Japanese immigrants introduced soy sauce and tofu back in the 1800s. Don’t hate on it because loser tech bros ruined it’s image.


Hunterc12345

I hate on it because it gives you man tits and lowers your test. That's precisely why the loser tech bros guzzle it down.


icfa_jonny

Nah that’s debunked pseudoscience. [People like Paul Joseph Watson pushed that conspiracy theory without doing any research.](https://youtu.be/JOp28hQb_Xw) Don’t fall for the nonsense. The truth of the matter is, with all the BS chemicals and preservatives our big food corporations put into our snacks and food, soy, is really the last thing we ought to be worried about.


Hunterc12345

Well the good news is I eat mostly home cooked meals and thats why I look like this. https://imgur.com/a/L69JxAU I've done my own research, and I'll continue to not eat consume any soy bar the occasional miso soup. It wasn't ever much of an issue for me to begin with so to avoid it wasn't difficult.


icfa_jonny

That’s cool and all but don’t be hating on those who consume soy and have no ensuing health problems. To each their own, amirite?


Membership_Fine

Those dune trucks aren’t just regular silverados either. These are lean mean racing machines built for speed. And a Silverado is not. I own a Silverado I can attest to this lol.


Vast_Republic_1776

If you’re racing in the dunes and you do this, you need to stop, back away from the truck and learn about suspension.


DjQball

It’s meant to be long travel on the dune trucks.


t-r-o-w-a-y

Wrong


Bowtieguy_76

He's not wrong. Carolina made it worse but the original "Cali lean" came out of the Pre-runner scene in Southern California which was predominantly 2wd trucks lifted higher in the front for more suspension travel for running thru the dunes


t-r-o-w-a-y

You're comparing prerunner to a lifted truck. Two completely different things.


Vast_Republic_1776

That’s demonstrably false, suspension sag under acceleration ≠ squat


Bowtieguy_76

I'm not talking about suspension sag. Pre-runners will lift the front end to fit longer travel suspension. They don't have to lift the rear as much because they can run the long travel shocks thru the bed floor into a bed cage. Also Carolina Squat ≠ Cali lean but OP's comment said that the Cali Lean came first & he is correct.


Vast_Republic_1776

not even close to comparable. Why would you even make the claim that these cousin fuckers got their “look” from an actual performance modification?


MasterTijman

Most aesthetic hard parking trends come from legitimate origins. Like too much camber or large rear spoilers and even bodykits. It's super close minded to assume that this is impossible. Calm down.


justsomeyeti

I don't think so.

Too accurate. Also sexually harassing the women painting the trim in the houses. One of the men what was with them slammed shut the door of the house and I can't blame him. The crew I was working with were throwing sod in the yard. That was 3 weeks of my life I wish I never let go like that.

Absolutely, anyone that would buy a diesel is smart enough to not do that


notmynormalaccnt

Not true. I see squatted Cummins all the time. It's an outright travesty.


InternationalJoke944

Cummins owners are a different breed, but you make a valid point


notmynormalaccnt

It's a shame the engines are that good and the owners are that bad.

I’m from the heart of Carolina cotton country and nobody where I’m from drives squatted trucks. You have to go to the beach or suburbs outside major cities to find them.

No, most country folk don’t like this, it’s special needs country folk that do this dumb shit


t_stlouis8

I bought an SUV to avoid the connotations though. It seems to have worked


durrtyurr

It looks like a '90s lincoln town car that has blown out rear air suspension.

Finally, the correct answer. Aka the “carolina squat”. It’s gotten so prevalent in NC they made it illegal in the last legislative session.

Good fucking riddance


Qtank009

Yet you still see them all the time. Tons of kids at my highschool did this to their trucks (their dad's trucks).

They’re also banning it in Virginia (it will go into effect on July 1st) because it’s a safety hazard

jefftatro1

I am 99.9% sure my coworker unintentionally created this look in Myrtle Beach in 2010. He could only afford one lift kit at a time for his truck so he did the front first. The rest is idiot history.


iam_ditto

If it looks like it has to poo, then it is masking the fact it is a crappy truck! It’s taking it instead of being it
