It was only a matter of time..

For that kind of fit, you'd have to get... what,... 30" rims?!?!?

No, actually 24's with an Air Lift airbag system would work

We have a group buy which includes the DUB's over in the Accessories Forum. ?

Don't confuse the Lowrider and DUB cultures. ?Here is a history of DUB:

Now if I could just figure out how to make my 4x4 drop like that for the track, and transform into a 4" lift for offroad and return to normal for parking garages.

I read your link about the 'History of DUB', but failed to see the Avalanche connention.

My reference to DUB was from the Ebay ad I had linked. It referes to a "2001 Chevy Avalanche DUB Lowrider Truck 1/24". Not bad for $15.

...says DUB CITY on the box.

The connection between the two is THAT is a DUB Avalanche on sale on ebay. ?I understand that you are not running the auction or created the listing.

My remark was that these two cultures should not be confused to be the same.

Peace ?

Also, here's a 1/24 DUB AV for $9.99 ...

Anybody ever catch MTV's "Cribs" where they check out celebrity's rides. I swear, every rapper and athlete they visit always talks about rolling around on his "20 inch Dubs". They even have stickers and license plates that say "Dubs". When and why did this whole obsession come about?

... When and why did this whole obsession come about (Dub)?

Dub is a culture and music genre ...

Dub (which literally means "to double") primarily refers to the instrumental version of a song, based on the rhythm section of the band. One of the main characteristics of the dub style is the work done by the sound engineer, which includes adding effects such as echoes and reverbs.

Dub was first linked closely to reggae, and evolved between Jamaica and England thanks to artists such as King Tubby, Lee Perry or Mad professor.
When techno exploded in the nineties, the British dub movement really took off, including artists like Zion Train, Alpha and Omega, Iration Steppas, The Disciples, and Adrian Sherwood's famous label, On-U Sound.

At the dawning of the new millenium, dub evolved by breaking off with reggae and rasta culture to become a musical genre in its own right. Being a kind of musical Eldorado (dub allows sound experimentation), musicians from different horizons such as rock, techno, or hip hop, showed great interest in the possibilities that dub had to offer.
Inspired by techno, jungle, or hip hop, electrodub emerged notably in Germany, Italy, Austria (Sofa Surfers), and France (Ezekiel, Dub Wiser, Brain Damage, Kaly).
At the moment, there is an increasing popularity in live dub groups (High Tone, Zenzile, Lab?, Improvisators Dub).
This new wave of bands are divided into different appellations: novodub, drum 'n' dub, dub newschool, dub hardcore, noisydub, technodub, heavydub, etc.

ps ... Why did I let myself get into this one? now I have be an authority on RICER and DUB

i have a black and a white DUB avalanche, they are sweet.. with little homies. but i have a real avalanche with 20s or dubs. when they talk about dubs in a rap song, they are talking about 20s. they look great and on the avalanche there is enough room for tire so it rides great.
