Please keep this current trend in SoCal. LOLYep. This is a current trend. People are going so far as to install cameras with decent sized screens so they can actually see the road just so they can drive with their nose in the sky.

Yeah, thatās what they call it now. Not sure why. It started out as pre runners out here in Cali. I always thought it was a bit redonkulous.
Yep. As a kid, I remember when Bigfoot first came out. I remember saying, "That looks so stupid !!" and getting ridiculed. Not long after, many Ford 250's were raised with homemade lift kits (some were blocks of wood between body and frame, I kid you not), bigger tires but not Bigfoot big. Then tickets started flowing because the NY bumper height laws were being violated. Solution ? Weld some sections of I-beam on the frame pointing down and put a section of heavy-ass train rail between. Seriously. Looked like garbage, but it kept coming. I was never into monster trucks or really, really big tires; why make your vehicle look like a child's toy ? One guy in my neighborhood actually had a rope ladder he deployed while getting in and out of his truck. He'd reach under his truck, untie the ladder, climb the ladder, open the door, climb down the ladder, swing the door open, then reclimb the ladder, get inside then pull the ladder into the cab. Stupid.There are a few trucks around my neck of the woods like that. I think it looks stupid. To each his own I guess
Until they are a hazard on the roads from them or not adjusting headlights.There are a few trucks around my neck of the woods like that. I think it looks stupid. To each his own I guess
Or their A/V cable goes Kaput and they canāt see where the heck theyāre going.
Is that a stock steering wheel ? That "nickelodeon slime" padding on top is interesting. How is it ? I know if it was on mine, I'd be picking at it as I drive, the glue holding it wouldn't stand a chance...Hit 1000 miles in Gladys today!!
Funny, I just posted in another thread about my steering wheel āgripsā. Yes itās a stock steering wheel but I wanted to get a cover / grips as it was a tad skinny for my hands.Is that a stock steering wheel ? That "nickelodeon slime" padding on top is interesting.

Looked at covers and separate grips. Decided on grips so I could still get some heat from the wheel on the cold days, which I do. The heat works fine for me.
The grips have cut-outs so they can go on either side of the wheel around the controls but I preferred mine top and bottom instead.
Honestly I didnāt expect much and was figuring Iād try them, hate them and ditch them at Goodwill or Value Village for somebody else to try. But . . . . I actually love them.
They add girth to the stock steering wheel which feels much better when I have my hand around it. In addition they go on really tight and are made of a super grippy (technical term) material that feels good on my skin. Lastly the slight bumps and ridges on the grip are a good hand feel for me as well.
So yeah, very pleased with them after all and they are keepers for me. This is the brown version, I got the green ones.
Sorry, forgot. Actually got them off of Temu which is one of the reasons I had low expectations. But hey, you never know sometimes.
