    Best truck nuts I’ve ever seen were two large hex nuts (i.e., for a bolt - but a very large bolt - the bolt would have had to have been an inch/2.5 cm in diameter, at least) hanging from the hitch. Wish I’d taken a picture, it was hilarious.

    Because that’s what it means to be a MAN! Bolting fake testicles onto your truck.

    Bunch of striving, alpha-male wannabe, Oakley-wearing Thumb heads.

      /uj many conservatives and even many progressives unfortunately ask the doctor or comply with the doctor’s suggestion of gender surgery for intersex babies. It’s rare for sure but not that rare.

      I think even many progressives would not because they’re biggoted against intersex people but fear of the uncertainty in parenting that child. Instead of sitting in the discomfort they would rather just fall back to what they know.

    Oh I’ve been looking for an excuse to post this.

    You thought regular truck nutz were bad? Well wait until you see the XL version!

    Buuuut having them on your truck makes “deez nutz” jokes funnier!

    I guess if the person knows about the truck nuts, that is.

    Or if you’re at your truck when you make the joke…

    I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I’ve been tempted to get a set for it because I think it’d be funny.

    Edit: I’ve also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED’s into the nuts so they’ll light up when I brake or use the blinker?

      They’re illegal in my country county, but I have seriously considered seeing if I could find a vagina to go there instead, since they’re not covered in the law.

          I’m pretty sure they’re illegal where I am too. I think they were considered obscene or vulgar. To be fair, some of them are made to look exactly like a scrotum. That might be too far.

            They’re illegal in my state too, but they based it on already existing traffic laws regarding distractions. For example you can’t have colored lights that illuminate the road under your car.

            Also, we’re not allowed to have anything hanging off vehicles externally in case it comes off and causes an accident.

            What county CAN make truck nuts illegal? If you’re in the US I feel like that’s a first amendment violation.

              I not sure public displays of genitalia, even fake ones, has ever been argued as a matter of free speech. If it was, the TV landscape would probably be a lot different.

      I don’t get pissed off about it. It projects small dick energy. It makes me laugh that all these beta males are driving around in transgender trucks.

          The funny thing is that saying something is unhinged doesn’t make it so any more than saying that someone is angry makes it so. You’re reading your own emotions into interactions with other people. That’s unhelpful and unhealthy. You should consider not doing that.

      There are stereotypes of certain personalities who’d attach nuts to their truck, and people are choosing to be associated with them by installing truck nuts. It doesn’t mean they fit the stereotype, they might be nice normal people who do it for their own reasons. But public perception is they think nuts hanging off a truck is funny (dumb) or manly (cringe).

      Sharing my view with a troll who doesn’t care 🤷‍♀️

      I mean, I think a lot of us aren’t pissed off about it but think it looks stupid as fuck. And like, that’s just my opinion man.

        Imagine how insane you have to be to do an entire podcast on truck nuts because they offend you. It’s like when conservatives get all pissy when someone says happy holidays instead of merry Christmas
