New (frown-inducing) brodozer accessory: "Smoke Racks"

Courtesy of smoke-racks.com, I bring you...

and there was much rejoicing.

I'm quite jealous I didn't think of that first.

I wish they'd create a bro-coaler exhaust that dumped it directly through the A/C vents into the driver's compartment.

Color me surprised that the pickup in the photos has Texas plates on it......

In case you don't know what a bro-dozer is, they have defined it very well for you in the about us tab of their website (spelling and punctuation not touched by me):

"We have a passion for trucks We have always loved cool trucks and have enjoyed buying trucks and adding wheels, tires and lift kits. We got into diesel trucks because of all the horse power they have and we liked the different options for wheels, tires and for exhaust."

that's very deep...

I'm always impressed by people who buy a truck and immediately make it more useful by cutting a hole in the bed...

bets on how long it takes some bro-dozer driver to try to recreate it using PVC?

I should design one that has the exhaust exit through two giant Longhorn horns. I could probably sell a thousand of them in Texas.

Also mount a horn to it that sounds like the general Lee's for Moar awesomeness

Paint it orange, trust me.

Does the smoke exit the "smoke racks" text cutouts too?

Oh! I thought that one WAS made of PVC.

Million dollar idea right there.

White is an interesting color choice. Will look bad quickly.

Well..... at least it gets the damned exhaust up in the air so it won't be pointed right at my open window while cruising around in my car during the spring/summer.

Sorry! This design will never make it in Kentucky or Tennessee. Here diesel pickup drivers ignore the obvious mileage gains of driving a diesel by running their diesel engine way too rich so they can make as much smoke as they possibly can. They seem to always place the exhaust outlets on the right and as low to the ground as possible. They like nothing better than to fill the vehicle in the right lane with noxious diesel fumes! And of course the vehicle in the right lane is always passing them since they creep along in the far left lane as slowly as possible.

I have often wondered whether there is a law in Tennessee which says all pickups whether they are driving at 30mph or the God Forbid 55mph or even closer to the posted speed limit must always maintain their position in the far left hand lane. I have never ever passed a pickup driving in Tennessee well below the speed limit other than passing it on the right.

I parked next to a pickup truck the other day that had two "18-wheeler" style exhaust stakes that were 6" diameter. Each.

Who, besides the owner, does this impress? I guess if I have to ask, I just don't get it.

I'm sure it impresses other guys who are likewise not well-endowed.

I was on my bike this summer and was speeding, slightly, and I came up on this huge boat in the fast line. I looked down at my speedometer and follow for awhile and he is consistently cruising at 100mph. I go around and this is a scarab style boat on a triple axle trailer, probably 35ft or so, being towed by a newer diesel. I see plenty of diesels moving along just fine, including mine, in TN. My current one is completely stock and the exhaust exits out the back and to the right.

Oh boy...cant wait to seen those around sarcasm

So....you're addressing the "annoying diesel guy going slow in the left lane" argument by countering with the "absolute moron towing a 15k load far too fast (30mph over the Tennessee legal speed limit for towing) in the left lane" argument?

That's pretty damn funny.

Well, guys, this is the natural progression of the generation that started out as teens watching fast and furious, they then went out and cut the springs and fartcanned that "on-campus-purchased" '88 civic. Now, later in life, after they porked some poor, unknowing man's daughter, they bought a truuuuhhhck. And naturally, conversations such as "hey baby I was thinkin' about some stacks fer the truuuuhhhck"

Wife: "ok, but yer smokin' Newports this month"

In reply to irish44j:

I was berkeleying with him. I'm sure some actually picked up on the whole going from one extreme to the other deal.
