I saw truck nuts this morning. Are these still a thing?

[vacantseas]

While driving home this morning, I was behind a rusted pickup truck that had truck nuts hanging from the trailer hitch on the back of their vehicle. Now I know these were extremely popular 15-20 years ago, it's been a while since I've seen some of these out in the wild. By popular I mean every other truck had these hanging from their vehicle, in all sizes and colors.

Being a rusted truck, there's a possibility the owner is lazy, doesn't know they're there, or purchased said truck with nuts already attached. However as I passed the truck, I noticed they were golden in color, and appeared new. I assume gold = brass, like "brass balls." Do not fuck with said truck or said driver. They mean business.

For those of you that are unaware of what truck nuts, or truck nutz are, please see the following:

I have not seen truck nuts in years. I know they still are around though.

 

[TAJ]

I only saw them a handful of times at their peak.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

they were never really a thing, it's probably the same idiots who didn't realize how stupid they were way back when these came out

 

[Laserbeam]

I live in Alberta and am straight shocked I only ever saw them once all this time. That was years ago, too.

 

[Kommodore]

If anything, if there ever were a thing I'm blatantly judgey about where when I see it, I instantly think that person is a garbage person, it's when I see a truck with one of those things. They are without any more context the worst kind of person.

 

[Avitus]

Magpul and other firearm related stickers are the new truck nuts. Bonus points if they have molon labe spartan stickers as well.

 

[Brandino]

I still see the around occasionally.

Wait, what? I didn't think they existed even 15 years ago. Anyway, I think I've only seen them once in person a few years ago. They're so gross.

 

[Doggg]

I've only seen them once (not too long ago). It made me kind of sad.

 

[Taikeny]

The dollop podcast had a great episode about truck nuts

In Texas, it's a lot of Come and Take It or Don't Tread on Me stickers, but it conveys the same idiocy.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I rarely saw them when they were a thing and it's been many years since I last did.

 

[Soundscream]

Its really gonna depend on where you live.

 

[Deleted member 26039]

I saw them on a small Honda recently which I found amusing.

 

[Garp TXB]

When I see them parked it takes everything in me not to kick them. I did once as a teen and got yelled at.

 

[scare_crow]

The ven diagram of "people who use truck nuts" and "people with thin blue line stickers on their vehicle" is a circle.

 

[Chikor]

Where else would the truck pee be stored?

 

[Garp TXB]

A truck vagina, now that I want to see

 

[Poppy]

we've all moved on to minivan labia

 

[NinjaScooter]

Do you think the type of person to get truck nuts in the first place is going to care about whether or not they are out of style?

 

[lunarworks]

The last time I saw them was about 4 years ago on some shitty e-bike that looked like a small, grossly deformed Harley-Davidson.

Lol

I see them every once in a while. Where the hell do you even buy those?

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

I've seen 1 in the past 3 years.

 

[Armadilo]

You put them on brother and you never take them off

 

[HardRojo]

They should be more common, helps identifying idiots driving.

Lots of places, including Amazon. I'm not putting a link here, because I am not signal boosting that shit, but you can find it if you put it in the Google machine.

 

[Superpupperbabysassy]

I have a Tesla. Would Trucknut owners get pissed off if I did this to my car? Edit: I don't have any real reason to do this. I'm not making any political statement other than have nuts on the Tesla.

I would say a punisher sticker also fits this.

There's plenty of other identifying features of vehicles that these idiots usually apply to their car. Conservative presidential nominee bumper stickers. Thin Blue Line stickers. Some sort of gun decal.

Or Punisher stickers as pointed out immediately above.

truck physiology is fucked up

 

[Mudcrab]

In the UK these are called Bumper Bollocks

 

[viskod]

I live in Tennessee and I see them often.

 

[mute]

Truck nut people never went anywhere so it would surprise me if truck nuts were not still a thing.

They're the ones rolling coal now.

 

[NickatNite]

Saw them on a bubblegum pink Fiesta Hatchback over the summer, and I chuckle.

 

[PAFenix]

I don't see them all over, but still every now and then.

 

[ClutchAnderson]

Still see them on brodozers in SoCal lmao.

 

[donpureevil]

Great, now i know truck nuts are a thing.....

 

[Slayven]

Are there Calvin pissing on something people?

 

[Budi]

Never seen them, never knew they were a thing, I still have hard time believing they're a thing after seeing the pictures. Not from the US though, so maybe it makes a difference.

 

[Perzeval]

 

[FTF]

I've seen them luckily only once or twice in the past 5 years. They're so fucking stupid.

 

[RadzPrower]

I've seen 'em around on occasion in the last few years, but we're talking a maybe one pair a year at most.

I will say, I did actually get a chuckle out of a pair that were two large mechanical nuts attached via a chain. Points for the wordplay and the less vulgar appearance...even more points if they were homemade.

 

[steejee]

Those first ones are...rather veiney.

 

[MechaMarmaset]

They were common enough around where I live. I honestly find them funny. It's so ridiculous, i just have to smile when i see them .

Here's me thinking wheel nuts.
