I know one of my neighbors bought a step side because he could fit his atv in easier. I don't think it would fit in a normal one (wheel wells got in the way)

And yeah, older step side trucks are sweet.

That makes no sense at all.  The wheel wells don't move.  The box sides do. :nutty:

I bet it was because he could get on the steps to assist in getting the ATV in, or that, though the amount of room between wheel-wells is the same, the ATV wheels kept getting caught on the wheel-wells...

Less precision needed to get it into a narrow regular space than a wider space that can catch the wheels of the ATV would be the advantage I'd see in that situation.

Which is what I meant to say.

That's a muffin top, not a stepside.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

hotrodalex

It probably has to do with both those reasons.

Tave

No offense, but that doesn't make sense at all, and I haven't had a problem loading an ATV in a truck since I was a child. If anything I appreciate having that extra room in case I don't drive up the ramp perfectly square. :huh:

I always wanted one so I could put a steering wheel on the front and drive.

Now wait a minute. I think that muffin top is because of her pants, not her body. My guess is you could put some looser jeans on that mamacita and she would look a lot better.

Agreed. Dan Savage had a whole campaign about that a few years back.

If I wore jeans that tight, that wouldn't happen to me. I couldn't grow love handles to save my life.

It's unfortunate that most women can't be as lean as men. :huh:

That's wrong. Women just wear clothing that makes it obvious how un-lean they are. Mean wear relatively baggy clothes, so it's harder to see their gut.

What, you want women to be boys? I kind of prefer them to be a bit curvier than the average teenage boy...

Remember guys, the first place they tend to lose weight is in their breasts. :mask:

I still prefer a lack of love handles.  I'm more of an ass-man myself.

Big ass + tits = good. Big love handles = bad.
