Low-Buck Contest

Reader Tales of Low-Buck Truck Buildups

A few months back, we announced that we would give away a set of Superlift Superide shocks to the most, we don't know, what's the word--pathetic maybe?--low-buck tale of low-buck-vehicle ownership. We're not sure if it's good or bad news that we were inundated with novella-length submissions featuring one head-shaker after another, but what you'll find here is the winning entry as well as a handful of runners-up, photos from a few of our participants, and potent quotables by a bunch of our players.

It appears that you have set an all-time low for low-buck.

Way to go, people!

Enjoy!
