FUELER Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 The reason I ask, is that I was profiled by the Border Patrol a few weeks ago, they pulled me over and searched my car. Apparently, to them it looks like a drug smuggling vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navygz19 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Ummm...another blacked out Q with blingy chrome? Is that the answer you were looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Ummm...another blacked out Q with blingy chrome? Is that the answer you were looking for? Yeah I guess so. Bling?? Those rims are dirt cheap, with mud tires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navygz19 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Meh...sorry, just giving you an honest answer. I'm a fan of black steelies, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftpup Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I think it looks classy. It looks like a real deep tint though and that is probably a stigma for some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 sorry, just giving you an honest answer. Honesty is what I want! Thanks! I think it looks classy. It looks like a real deep tint though and that is probably a stigma for some Thanks for the comment! Yeah some people hate the tint. My girlfriend has trouble seeing out of them at night, and she gets angry at me for it, but I never have any problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisb Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Nice ride! I love the black on black tint. Chromes are nice, but I think steelies would look better. and it needs about 2" lift to fit the wheels and look more like an off road vehicle and less like a mall crawler. Maybe the border patrol saw the vehicle as trying to look like something it wasn't (a street vehicle trying to look like an off road vehicle) and since he was an off roader felt like you had something to hide.

88pathoffroad Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Pretty damn smooth, man. I could see ya with the window cracked a little, rolling hard on Fifth with a lit blunt in one hand and the other on the wheel... mwuahahaha Seriously though, it looks nice. I have no idea what a drug runner would drive but that probably doesn't fit my description of a suspicious type of vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'd pull you over - and write you up for illegal tints, and gawdy, ugly interior trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 As the front side windows are tinted, that seems to be the issue with police, at least around here. They get very suspicious when they can not see into where the driver is. Other than that, I think it looks good, even with the chrome wheels. But black would look better This is from a recent news article in Canada: The collision caused extensive damage to the Hummer, a popular military-style vehicle favoured by sports stars, raps artists and drug dealers. So I guess here, a Hummer would get you pulled over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I really like your truck. I dig the black/black and chrome, and your windows are about as dark as mine LOL. Its a really clean and sharp rig. Drug running rig? No way. In my mind, that would be like a 15 year old bone stock Camry, Taurus, or similar, something to blend in and NOT draw any attention or stick out. My question: do you drive that thing over to Tijuana?!? We park at those lots just before the border, then walk across. I wouldn't want to deal with that hassle and line coming back.

Simon Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Nice looking truck. I agree that the front window tints are probably your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Looks like a ghetto banger ride with the tint and chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I can only guess it's the "stealth" black paint & tinted windows.... or maybe it was just you? Next time take your other ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) Pretty damn smooth, man. I could see ya with the window cracked a little, rolling hard on Fifth with a lit blunt in one hand and the other on the wheel... Whoa what the hell?? You been watching me?? I live right next to Fifth Ave.... You just described me perfectly... Edited October 12, 2007 by FUELER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttmobile Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 i've always thought your truck looks nice. clean and mean. the black on black is nice, but i'm not a fan of the wheels (not a chrome buff myself). i personally like the extra dark tint, i'd do that myself but i'm afraid of getting fix-it tickets so i go with a weaker tint up front on my vehicles. can they simply search your vehicle w/out cause (other than 'suspicious lookingness')?

NismoSkyZ Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 It looks good and all but it is also a cop magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solid snake Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The reason I ask, is that I was profiled by the Border Patrol a few weeks ago, they pulled me over and searched my car. Apparently, to them it looks like a drug smuggling vehicle. Don't worry about it, BP stopped me many times before, and I have a wd21. Use to get searched all the time. Around here, BP is use to chasing, Cherokees and Silverados crossing the desert loaded up with weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
