Perfect example of "Trust me, I'm an engineer".
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

My co-worker likes to tell me how short I am.....
He threw me his keys last week to drive, must say.... Thinking I'm going to have to get me a duramax gmc for my next vehicle and do a 10" lift on it.

It doesn't look like his mall crawler sees much off-roading

I knew a guy who was selling a 2007 duramax, for $45k. 24" lift 54" tires with road armor bumpers and around 750hp. Wish I had the $$

He doesn't even drive it in the rain, let alone off pavement. Complete show truck, nothing more than that. Oh he did use to tow a 32' fountain speed boat but that's about it.
I laughed at him one day he was leaving work, shining his rims before he could leave work with it. Great guy, but yes a completely useless truck to not use it for something.

Seems like the kinda douche bag truck that would have a pair of nuts hanging off the hitch and billow out plumes of black smoke for gits a shiggles...
...I'm sure he's a great guy though.

Truck is nice. Functions perfectly for the owner if he wants show truck n occasionally a tow pig. Lot better than some of the shit on here. Looks well built and taken care of.
Would love to have one as a toy but in another brand. Few changes but it is a hell of a truck.
Not sure how people building n driving what we do can talk shit about something that nice and obviously someone's pride n joy.

It's pretty far into "diesel rice" territory (Chrome stacks, way too much lift to be functional for work, big wheels with M/T tires, not actually used, etc.), but I definitely wouldn't say that it's junk. It's a show truck.

Big chrome wheels are as diesel rice as stock wheels painted black are off road rice. 
I agree the wheels n tires need changed but they function, even if they are a waste of money.
Just a single 6 inch stack. Nothing screaming small penis. Clean n appropriately sized.
Trucks with lifts like that pull dozers n equipment by me all the time. Every lawn care and excavating company used giant diesels as rolling billboards.

20's aren't huge with 35-40" tires. Those look like 22-24" to me. Single stack by itself doesn't make rice, but added with the low aspect ratio M/T tires on big chrome wheels, too much lift (useful-for-big-tires would have been to do the body work to get them to tuck), body-color painted and chromed suspension, it looks damning. The knowledge that he doesn't get it dirty, and washes it before it leaves the parking lot at work, goes one step farther. The last damning piece of evidence is how much smoke it does or does not billow.
I can see painted black wheels if they're all scratched to ////, and you just hit them with rattle can every time you clean the thing up. However, like the Jeep guys you talk about, painting wheels black is not an "offroad mod"

Sell those wheels and slap 17s w 40s on there n you got a nice truck.
Plus the fact that the guy not using it, does not make it less of a truck. Plenty of modded trucks on here don't see more than dirt or gravel.
