    That's true, just have to know your limits. I don't drive anywhere near as reckless as I used to

    If you call fireroads off roading... your words!
    Wouldn't risk my safety or others safety on cheap recovery gear. That's the one set of items I won't ever go the cheap route on.

    I see your point to an extent. 300 bucks still isn't that cheap. If I'm spending the money I'm doing t right. Buy once cry once you know this.

    Pedro is your truck's nickname. C'mon Nick, you haven't been gone that long!

    Long travel is a boat load of maintenance so you don't end up with this happening while you're going full speed -
    (yes I'm aware he's on stock LCA with a ball joint, not uniball)

    But it's also BAD ASS!

    It's not my preference but it's still offroading. What else can you do in 2wd without LT. Lol. It's still fun. I was just trying to get a rise outta some people with my comment.

    I have to recommend the smittybilt x20 if your looking for reasonable cost and is proven by many members to hold up.Comes with 5 year parts and 3 year electrical warranty.
