in my opinion, if it’s a functional off road capable vehicle - it’s not a brodozer.
I only consider the guys that have Mud Terrain’s on 22” rims with extra chrome to be brodozers

I’m going to interpret brodozer simply as lifted vehicle and say that whoever built this ‘31 Ford postal car is probably amongst the first people to build drastically lifted cars.

In 1973 my dad and mom went on vacation to San Fransisco and surrounding parts of California, and encountered some of the first lifted 4x4’s. The scene was just getting started out there for serious lifted, modified trucks. My dad says that he’d heard a little bit about it in magazines and stuff, but at that time it was a west coast thing.

Many people on here consider even a stock 2wd pickup a brodozer, so I was just clarifying that it is not.

If you’re talking about the ridiculously high lifted pickups that people drive for vanity rather than utility, I don’t know that we can pin down the exact genesis, but I’d wager it happened sometime in the 1970s. That was kind of the beginning of the pickup starting to creep beyond farmers and tradesmen into the suburban mainstream, and it coincided with a trend involving cowboy boots and Western shirts among people trying to look more rugged or salt of the earth, despite what their occupation or upbringing would otherwise dictate. It started out slow, and eventually reaching critical mass sometime in the ‘90s or ‘00s.
