Id say once you've got a fully built auto,90hp stix, and a super B special, you're pretty bombed!

Sounds like a Bad A truck!

Does your knowing or thinking to yourself that your truck is "bombed" not do it for you? Why the need for a sticker?

I don't "need" a sticker, I want one. Don't really have much of a reply other than "to each his own". My truck looks like a work truck ( a sleeper ), maybe I want to provoke just a little. Oh, and I did mod my daily driver!

That's my point exactly... the "sleeper" is all too underrated these days. Why ruin it by adding a (to each his own again) cheesy sticker.
I think the ricer mentality has ruined it for all pretty much.
And why as an internet forum anyway? If it fits the bill in your head, then go for it.

Mine is my dd too and I've always wondered what constitutes a bombed truck as well.

To me its not as bad as the ricer thing, not even enough people know what it means. If that's what I intended Id just put the HP specs on the window. I just want people in the diesel world to know that I have spent time on my truck. And not everyone in the diesel world cuz most diesel drivers don't even know the term, just the ones that have put time and effort in their vehicles as well. And as to why ask the question. There are a lot of guys that have spent more time, money and effort than I have in their vehicles. I don't want to let the phrase bombed down by having a puss truck. sounds really stupid, but I have a lot of pride in cummins motors and there faithful drivers. it's my third one since high school ( I'm only 24 ) and it's all I've owned. just wanna keep a positive reputation going.
