    Its not for everyone. But I bought my truck knowing I wanted to wheel it, and have been building it out accordingly. I am also pretty easy on my truck, for the most part. I always had big plans for my tj, but never did anything with it and regretted it.

    There was a go around for this obstacle. But I like having fun. So I went for it.

    One day it wont be my daily. And I do miss rallying through this stuff on the rmz250 I used to have.

    Built the truck to do this stuff, and it's driven me to work the next day issue free every time :notsure:horses for courses and such

    It also helps having the network of great people on here- from a mechanical and wheeling perspective.

    The people I have met on here- through wheeling, meetups, and wrenching days- are some of most genuine, knowledgeable, selfless people I have ever met and am lucky to call them friends. Shits going to break. But the network of people and knowledge on here… I know it will get fixed.

    Learned so much and have had so many great experiences because of the people on this forum.

    I'll never understand the people that buy trucks and never take them off road or hauled a bed full of crap. Some people want a pavement princess and some don't. I like bouncing on rocks and occasionally hitting trees. Fun to do with friends

    I guess i'd build a beater if wanting to get into 4 wheeling, not my daily truck i need to rely on for everything else, but to each their own.

    I find it real funny how some guys put huge lifts, and big ass tires on their new trucks, and only parade them around malls, or town. Even have a buddy, and a cousin thats afraid to drive their new frontier, or ridgerunner over to my home at certain times of the year due to the boulders, and mud on the roads there...they have to ask me ahead how the road is.

    I do a service on a car that has 10,000 miles on it. It has a CarMax decal which I find odd. :eek:

    The list is growing.
    Pucker moments are at a minimum these days. In your own vehicle is one thing.
    80,000 lbs of semi on an ice covered road downhill is quite different. Just saying.
