You may be a 4x4 Tappit if...

Jeff Foxworthy is an American comedian who does a "You may be a redneck if..." skit.
He does this in a Southern twang & it's rather funny.

For Example;
If your front porch collapses killing more than 3 dogs...
...you may be a Redneck...

If the directions to your house include the phrase 'Turn onto the dirt road...'
...you may be a Redneck...

You get the picture.

So I thought it would be nice if we did our own version...

"You may be a 4x4 Tappit if..."

If your wife needs an empty Coke Crate or ladder to assist her getting up into your 4x4...
...you may be a 4x4 Tappit.

If you judge when its time to wash your 4x4, by checking how much mud you are carrying at the weigh bridge....

......if you still have a chrome nudge bar on your 4x4.

......if you complain about the noise of mud terrains on your 4x4.
