I get that it's a hobby that I will never understand same as some people don't understand why I'll drop thousands on fishing gear. But I still think is dumb.

A lot of the guys that do the full on laying frame/bagged trucks are fabricators/welders or body-shop guys and a good bit own their own shops or are close with someone who does. So some do it as a job, some as a hobby on the side - it's cheap for them bc they have access to the shop and materials already.

If you can get past the exterior looks, it's actually kind of cool to get a look at the beds of some of those trucks. There is some serious fabricating/engineering skill in them.
