Nice enough group of guys, I just couldn't be happy only riding Bell, Dodd, Charlies, Dicks, Trey, and the similar others. The trails are pretty easy and I would need more variety. I like what and where you guys ride, I just feel like a big tampon around you all because guys in here on 33s are pushing harder than I am willing to on 42s. I am man enough to admit my rig`s capabilities outweigh my pockets ability to repair it.

Now that's funny. I will say that I was following Doug up some nasty trails at Golden, and he went on more that I felt fine saying nope, not me! After some run ins with a few trees and the insurance claim that followed I'm more a mall crawler now than most anyone on here. I'll still go on trails, just none where I need even 10% of what I have done to mine. So in short, I guess I am classified as borderline mall crawler. Still rocking all my rocker damage though from Golden and Chocco!

Ha ha, pretty sure I seen a recent video to the contrary.  Your secret is safe though as I have been banned from the group that posted it.   //:'(//

Haha. Doug has already  made it public long ago that I am comfy in mud.

You went from zero to the speed of light with your rig build, so it isn't surprising you need more seat time to be comfortable with the rig's capabilities. Additionally, you actually drive your vehicle to work, or at least I think you do, so you shouldn't be taking unreasonable risks.  IMHO, the lesser built rigs that go for the crazy stuff should be driven by guys with trailers and another vehicle capable of getting them to/from work.

May be a nice enough group of guys.  They are just pounding the same few trails every weekend with large groups of Jeeps.  I don't think those trails can sustain that amount of traffic.  And with the large groups you get more chance of people wandering off the legal roads.  Apparently it's a touchy subject for them, like I said that is all they do, every weekend.

Anyway, back on topic.  Go to any Meet and Greet type event and you will see plenty of Mall Crawlers first hand.  Look for unscratched paint, nice and shiny black under carriage and/or fancy exhaust tips coming out below the bumper.   //no//

This makes me feel better, no damage apparent on JK but when you look at my mangled exhaust end, rock rails, and undercarriage armor yes, its been on the rocks.  I threw Doug out there but my JK is at the gym, library, grocery or Lake Lanier most of the time its not looking great in front of the houzz.

Probably by speaking the truth about illegal wheeling
