drop bracket opinions/questions

I'm not giving anyone crap. I've actually spent those posts asking questions, if you note.

But I think my point's been made nonetheless.

 

I don't have a build thread, just random post on ttora over the years. It technically is a desert ride, but since I moved to Oregon I figured I better add an ARB up front so I ordered one today. I'm not the most hardcore wheeler on here, monkeyproof is. I remember when that dude showed up on Miller Jeep Trail with a shiny new tacoma with dealer plates, and by the end of the trail his rocker panels were mashed in and he wasn't crying. That's hardcore in my book. I bet my truck has been to more countries than anyone else here though. 23 and counting, from the sugar snow of the arctic circle to the silt of baja. So I guess that makes it an expedition rig? lol

 

why dont we all just whip em out and see whos is bigger?????? LMAO while i was reading this thread. bottom line is everyone has an opinion. honestly best way to ask a hige group their opinion is to add a pole! DB or NO DB. that simple. youll see which opinion is strongest

 

meh..you wheel your shit harder..you didnt even air down your tires for that trail..that in itself is HARDCORE..i'll send you a monster or a rock star energy drink..your choice, and a flat bill cap tomorrow hahahahaha.

 

Re: Who wheels their truck the hardest...

Oh yeah? Well, I have managed to get stuck more than probably anyone on this board! Whats up now?!? I mean, sure, I have a stock height truck, stock Rugged Fails, and, oh yeah, its 2WD, that doesnt help anything...but I think if we go off number of times stuck, I have this one in the bag! Lol.I have, so far, busted, dented, or other wise jacked up(and, for the most part fixed or replaced):
Mud Flaps(those stayed off)
Step Bars
Front "skid plate", and I use that term loosely
Front bumper(the lower valance, that everyone paints black)
Passenger side Tail Light
and, as the coup de grace, the rear, drivers side door(I kinda, half-flopped it while attempting to go through a rather deep wash out on a trail.Learning point however...I learned exactly what the trucks breakover angle is, a useful bit of info for future reference)

All told...my insurance company is begining to dislike me. Real conversation with said insurance adjuster: "So you are telling me that huge dent in your door, and the mud covering the entire cab...all came from this parking lot?""Uhh, yeah, must have been another dent-and-run. Seems to be pretty common these day..."

That being said...thats the reason Im not gonna modify this truck...I would be way too tempted to genuinely "wheel" it...probably a bad idea.

As far as the poll...I thought about that, but I was hoping for more detailed explanations. I am confident there would be plenty of people(for both votes) who simply clicked a vote, because they heard kit a, b, or c was garbage, and kit x, y, or z was the shiznit. Kinda wanted the educated opinion, not the bandwagon "DB kits sucks! Cuz, thats why!" answers.

 

HAHAHA...but that does make me want to go grab an energy drink. But I swear, I bend the bills of my baseball hats, lol.
