  Man, say what you will about truck culture, and I’ll probably agree, but I fuckin’ love truck nuts. I don’t know why, I don’t think it’s just immaturity because bodily humor isn’t usually my thing. But something about truck nuts makes me laugh.

  I especially love that they trigger people enough that some places ban them.

    I’m considering putting truck nuts on my fiat for exactly that reason. They’re just goofy and ridiculous!

      I had truck nuts on my Outback. They were bright pink.

    I think truck nuts are tacky and stupid, but if you want them, I don’t see why my opinion should matter. Now, if they were big enough that they were dragging down the street and making sparks, maybe they should be banned. I’d find that funnier than the normal style, too.

    I once saw pink truck nuts on a Prius. Peak comedy.

    They trigger people? I thought they just served as some kind of label to certify a car is owned by a bit of an immature prick, like a Trump sticker.

    I’ve never seen anyone triggered by them unless someone put them on their car without their consent. I’d be pretty annoyed if someone superglued that shit to my car.

      As I understand it there have been a few towns over the years that have tried to ban them for pearl-clutchy reasons. “Oh think of the children!” or “how indecent!” type of thing.

      Apparently they’re illegal in the entire state of Idaho.

      And anything as harmless and silly as truck nuts that makes old uptight people lose their shit is something worth fighting for.

        They thought trucks that had transitioned to male would molest the kids instead of just crushing them like the Ford intended? Ridiculous!
