Sounds like a joke to me. Its pretty hard to stall a 5-speed Jeep is what I've found. Must've been one hell of a show, I'd keep him around for laughs.

Then they go out and try wheeling and do it terribly. Driving experience and knowledge doubles your jeeps capabilities.

I don't see a lot of rich kids driving newer lifted jeeps, although I'm sure they exist. I see more of the guys that buy the new 2/4dr JKs, lift them, throw on the Rockstar rims (which look too nice to take off road, IMO), and have lights and everything. But every time I see it, it's always spotless. Come on.

I get allot of that around here, I always see them scoff at me when my xj is covered in mud, and they make fun of my trail damage. I have never seen even one spec of dirt on any of their rigs. I never saw the point to installing a huge lift with chrome 20's and mt's. These trucks I fear are like their owners, "queens" its sad they will never leave the pavement, but to each his own.

It's ridiculous that they make fun of your muddy and damaged Jeep. Since that's what a Jeep is meant to be and used for. Until I see one of them on the trails, they won't get my respect.

I saw this kid that stalled his TJ when he tried to get two wheels over the curb so he wouldn't have to go over the speed bump.
