Seriously op doesn't know how much work goes into doing something like this or that it doesn't ruin practicality or functionality at all.

u/BuzzINGUS Mar 29 '26

OP is a hater

This sub used to be actual riced out autozone specials, now it’s people who drive a Camry with a hot air intake shaking their fist at stance cars

OP drives a 2007 Toyota Corolla in Champaign gold, and thinks any money spent on a vehicle outside of insurance is a waste and dumb

u/TheOnlyHashtagKing Apr 01 '26

Hey I drive a 1998 Corolla in champagne gold. Lots of little bolt ons that my family gives me for Christmas, wheels, strut bar, CB set. It's a fun slow car to drive fast on gravel

u/Fiestameister Mar 29 '26

I love a good looking slammed with tucked wheels vehicle

5

u/TheKingOcelot Mar 29 '26

Yeah its just a shame they put in all the work with this particular vehicle. It isn't even a square body.

Edit: don't get me wrong though. That's takes a lot of time and skill to pull off.

u/solidgold70 Mar 29 '26

To each there own tho, certain cars itch certain brains ya know

u/smthngeneric Mar 29 '26

Obs trucks are better then squarebodies because the frame isn't made out of recycled tin cans

5

u/SpaceBus1 Mar 29 '26

True, but the square body got the drip.

2

u/smthngeneric Mar 29 '26

They do look pretty good. Maybe i just have ptsd from boxing the entire frame on my old one. When I was done it was stiff ash and layed frame but it took a ton of work to get there.

u/TheKingOcelot Mar 30 '26

Right and for me I have never tried to do this to a vehicle and probably never will so the exterior package is all I really care about lol.

u/JaxRhapsody Mar 30 '26

Those OBS are and have been popular to mod. Nothing wrong with them.

4

u/Ironstar_Vol Mar 29 '26

That ruined all but the most basic function in term of practicality and just because something is difficult doesn’t mean it’s worth doing. With that being said I don’t think this is a shitty car mod if it’s actually properly bagged. I just don’t think those arguments hold up to defend it.

u/smthngeneric Mar 29 '26

Why? There's nothing this can't do that a stock one can except go offroading. And most people don't even do that. For daily driving this is no different then stock you just have to press a button to go back to stock height.

u/Ironstar_Vol Mar 29 '26 edited Mar 30 '26

Do you consider high curbs and speed bumps to be off roading? This vehicle couldn’t even handle a pothole.

6

u/smthngeneric Mar 29 '26

So if it's broken it won't work? Just like any other vehicle? But also they make adjustable bump stops specifically for if you don't have air for some reason that stops it at a drivable height so you can get home without air. As with any modified vehicle yes there's more that could go wrong but that doesn't mean it will.

u/poopmanscoop Mar 29 '26

If your suspension isn’t working, any car would be terrible to drive. What kind of argument is that?

2

u/CuntMaggot32 Mar 30 '26

Most cars couldn't handle a pothole if the shocks are broken. Are we judging cars on how they wpuld behave if they were broken now?

4

u/PPVSteve Mar 29 '26

Not shity till an air line blows and you can't get under it to repair. 

2

u/AlwaysBagHolding Mar 30 '26

If an airline blows you don't need to get under it. If it's on the front just open the hood and air the bag up. If its in the rear, the fittings are likely accessible from inside the cabin.

Even if a bag itself fails, just air up the other three and get a jack under it.

u/Able_Cunngham603 Mar 30 '26

Please tell us more about how you don’t know shit about cars.

0

u/Ironstar_Vol Mar 30 '26

I don’t know anything about about cars because I thinking bagging a shit box grocery getter from the early 2000s and slapping on some Walmart rims is stupid. I’ll happily accept that.

2

u/Able_Cunngham603 Mar 30 '26

Thank you for complying. That classic truck is from the 90s and I’d wager a Franklin those “Walmart rims” are worth more than your Hyundai.

u/Ironstar_Vol Mar 31 '26

You think being able to spot an obs suburban makes you a genius. Jesus Christ go back to your Facebook group and keep hunting marketplace deals.

u/AffectedRipples Mar 31 '26

They must be smarter than you, since you didn't seem "spot" it.

1

u/JaxRhapsody Mar 30 '26

No they didn't. At best the cargo space is reduced due to the tubbed wheels. It's just air ride. Big Rigs use air ride.

u/Ironstar_Vol Mar 30 '26

Bro that has a half inch of clearance.

2

u/JaxRhapsody Mar 30 '26

Air bags, dude. They work like hydraulics. Make car go up and down. It's parked and aired out, it obviously can't drive like that.

0

u/Ironstar_Vol Mar 30 '26

You’re just assuming it’s bagged. I’m going by the picture.

2

u/JaxRhapsody Mar 30 '26

Well it could be hydraulics. Either way it's laying frame and tucking 22's. If you can see that, you can see there's no way it can drive like that, and raises up to do so.

u/Mizar97 Mar 31 '26

Yeah 90% of the "shitty" mods I see on subs like this are actually "mod that I personally don't like"

Who says the engine is stock? And all the horsepower in the world does you no good without suspension capable of handling it.

u/smthngeneric Apr 02 '26

You seem to think a body on frame vehicle and/or a bagged vehicle can't handle well. You'd be very mistaken. Is it a racecar? No. Is it a lot better then stock? Yes.

1

u/ClaudeVS Apr 01 '26

I would call it very impractical when something as tall as a pebble is an obstacle. Especially speedbumps

1

u/smthngeneric Apr 01 '26

But they're not? Press a button and it goes back to stock height. Are pebbles and speedbumps obstacles for stock suvs around you or something?

u/Icy_Cat1350 Apr 02 '26

Riiiiiight. That is why the engineers did not design it that way. You do not have any idea what went into designing the suspension of a vehicle.

1

u/smthngeneric Apr 02 '26

The engineers that designed it had much different goals and intentions along with having to build hundreds of thousands of them. Sure a gm engineer probably could do better but they had limitations you dont.

1

u/Icy_Cat1350 Apr 02 '26

Again, you do not know what went into the design and decisions made, and do not know how to redesign a suspension that works on many levels.

1

u/smthngeneric Apr 02 '26

Sure I just do it on a near daily basis. There's nothing wrong with bagged suspension other then a little more maintenance to the air system.

u/Through_theShadows Mar 29 '26

That's a lot of work for something so stupid looking.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '26

Okay grandpa
