Truck Culture: Fun For Kids of All Ages

The truck has become a staple of today’s automotive culture. Over the last few years, the modding of trucks by hobbyists has taken off, and the aftermarket has kept pace by adding a nearly countless number of options for customizing. They’re gaining traction on CarDomain, too: just about every day, you can find a truck in Recently Updated Rides section that has some wicked mods, or is even show material. Like Robert’s Chevy Silverado: I’ve owned trucks for years and what I can’t believe is the number of bolt-on performance mods and accessories you can get for your truck. This industry is huge! I’d hazard a guess that it’s as big if not bigger than the tuner market. Even the diesel guys are getting into it, making huge horsepower with their already immense diesel trucks.

Trucks are great first vehicles for kids, too, because you can pick up a used one fairly inexpensively, they can be easier to work on than cars, and the aftermarket support is so extensive. Lowered with nice rims or jacked up for four-wheelin’, a truck really can work out well as a functional hobby vehicle. One aspect of the truck subculture I can’t quite figure out, though, is "laying frame." Maybe somebody could shed some light on this one for me, ’cause I just can’t quite figure out why someone would want to ruin a crucial park of their vehicle.
