Default Nuts hanging from the under-carriage

Is there a reason Dodge owners (primarily) hang a set of nuts from the undercarriage of their trucks? I am seeing this more and more than ever and 9 out of 10 trucks I see with this are Dodge...I also seem to see a lot of smoke stacks on these pickups.

As a Dodge owner, can you tell me the reasoning? My brother in law has a Ram with nuts and he can't give me a valid reason other than "it's a Dodge thing"...WTF?

GOOD QUESTION but I don't think it isolated to specifically Dodges. We have way too many Chevs with them.

I saw a youtube vid were these guys killed a Chev truck and after the truck wouldn't move any more the cut the danglers off with a pair of side cuts and held them in the air... LAME

They want to seem tough when in reality it says "look how stupid I am - I will give my money away for some fake nuts". It amazes me everyday what people will buy. A lot of people around here have those stupid looking fake fender vents. They put them on pieces of crap and I always think the same thing - You could have spent your money on anything and that is what you chose?!?!?!?!

You know, what prompted me to start this thread was the one I saw the other day. I was following a very new Ram and noticed the nuts hangin but thought it was different than the others I had seen. When we got stopped at the traffic light I got a close look, here the guy had a caucassion set with green lines running through them and what appeared to be a dark wig wrapped around it...you talk about going the extra mile! Unbelievable.....I'm still laughing!

I drive a lowered Chevy pickup (without anything hanging), I have a '70 Pontiac Formula 400 4 speed/12 bolt but, I also own a classic late '60s Mopar (car) and I am.... a Mopar guy!

Mopar guys are, well?, a little different from the rest! lol
I can't explain it, and it's not a bad thing but, they're just a bit different!

I can only imagine your neighborhood "Dodge Freaks", their gathering and yes, I have the picture! Mopar Guys! lol

You have to understand is that "Mopar Guys" are totally cool with who they are and nothing will change that!

I'm having a bit of fun with your post but, everything that I have stated is fact! Just ask any Mopar Guy!

I understand the mopar thing. I do...what I don't understand is how someone actually thinks hanging a sack under their truck doesn't make them look like a total clown.

And as for the smoke stacks...WTF is this look trying to accomplish? On a pickup?? This shows that you are nothing more than a wannabe trucker.

I've seen some guys ruin nice trucks installing this crap.
