A pickup truck or SUV whose suspension has been modified to jack it up. It is fitted with big off-road tires, usually mounted on expensive, tough-looking wheels. Often the engine is modified or replaced both to:
a) increase performance, and
b) make more noise.
Often they are adorned with gaudy decals for motorsports brands, heavy metal groups, or generic stuff like Tapout or SKIN.
Commonly lifted vehicles include most pickups and large SUVs, especially the Ford Excursion. Any vehicle designed for off-road use, however, can be lifted.
Theoretically this is to increase off-road performance, although the higher center of gravity would likely make them more likely to roll over on rough terrain. They never have a single scratch on their beautiful paint jobs anyway and are usually seen on the highway next to Corollas and Civics.
They guzzle gas like no other due to the higher aerodynamic profile, the big engine and the knobby tires. They also obstruct visibility on the highway. The point of these vehicles seems mostly to project an obnoxiously aggressive attitude over all other drivers. They are especially popular in the Inland Empire for this reason. One cannot live in the 909, or anywhere in SoCal, without seeing them every mile or so on the freeway.

Get the lifted truck mug.Lifting:
1. Picking up, or hauling an object.
2. Moving something from it's resting state by force.
3. Working out, such as using Free-weights (dumbells) or machines to perform an-aerobic exercises to build muscle strength and endurance.

Man, lifting weights all day sure did that boy up.
I can't wait until school gets out so I can go lift.
It's so boring here, I wish I could go do some lifting.

Get the shirt lifter mug.An ego lifter (Not to be confused with a show off) is someone who tries to lift more than they normally would when they're being watched by others. They let their egos take control of them but will fail miserably when attempting the lift.
John usually benches 100kg but now that there were girls watching, he tried to bench 120kg but nearly ended up dropping the bar on his neck. What an ego lifter.

Get the Ego Lifter mug.A person who takes control of an elevator (lift) by pressing every button OUTSIDE the lift by running down/up the stairs.
The person watches a crowd go down/up the elevator, the person then runs down/up the stairs and presses the down/up button so that the elevator stops on that floor when no one is waiting to get on. The liftjacker keeps repeating until he/she reaches the top or bottom floor or until he gets caught where he runs out of sight for his next "act of terror".
This causes huge outbursts of anger and annoyance.

Get the Lifting mug.A person when asked by a friend or associate to provide assistance with some task, agrees to help, shows up and then fakes his assistance by utilizing deception with the expectation of garnering thanks but providing no actual effort towards the task in hand.
Fred, the Fake Couch Lifter, showed up the other day to help us move house. When it came to moving the couch, he reached under the couch but did not exert any energy, thus giving an erroneous impression that he was helping to lift the couch
