i will never understand wye someone will spend all that time and cash in to a jeep and don't want to take it out and play. was going camping this weekend with my club (mostly wronglers) a little snow falls they back out, said to risky i guess they don't want to get there rigs dirty. sorry just had to rant:censo red:

 

thats the exact same thing that happend to me for this weekend, i was planning a trail run up in the mountains and it snowed here yesterday and that was going to make everything more fun but i had a bunch of guys back out last weekend when they knew it was gonna snow, i guess people are terrified of snow

 

Looks like you guys are Canadians at heart.

Come on up here and we'll show you some good winter wheeling.

 

It's no different than all the ricers that toss crap on their civics, mustangs, whatever... and then never even use them in 4/10th's.

They're no different than the guys in 1/2-1 ton trucks with 40" tires, no front driveshaft, 4 shocks at each wheel and not a scractch on the under carriage.

Same idiots, just a different vehicle platform.

I'm proud to say that my Mustang is USED and even has a roll bar and my Jeep has bedliner'd sides and random bumps/bruises all on it.

I think any solid axle Jeep is one of the worst riding/daily drivers i've ever owned, but their offroad abilities are what make it worth it. The people that mod them, daily drive them and DON'T "seriously" off road them(not some gravel road with a big rock or two)are pretty retarded.

 

well i dd mine cause its all i can afford lol, but im not afraid to go out there and beat on it, i cant afford another vehicle but i can afford to fix stuff if i break something

 

To their credit.

Those wronglers, cost 3,4, even 5 times as much as out XJ's and The newer ones arent payed for yet. Plus most of the guys that drive those are older. Risks turn them away. I would be scared to wreck a 25k$ rig too.

To our credit.

Our rigs are cheap, cheap to maintain, and personally i dont care much about what it looks like. Plus most XJ owners are younger. Which means if you tell us we cant do something, We will try it until we or our rig breaks.

 

Maybe because thats what THEY like?

 

I know plenty of guys with JKs that beat on them harder than i beat on my XJ.

Probably just posers that havent found a club to teach them how to drive properly offroad.

If you broke something, you did it wrong.

 

Smart people don't buy a 25,000$ vehicle to take off road. Jus.... sayin'...

 

Most ridiculous thing I have read on this site yet!

 

Thats what i mean... these guys buy these things and they're thinking "its a jeep" "its tough"

And than when they get out on the trail they're scared to put it in 4 wheel drive.

 

i think i need to find a new club they have called off runs due to rain

 

Having a good/equal group to wheel with is certainly important. It's no fun being in a group of 1 ton equiped rides and either being drug over everything or having to go around/ride with someone else. Swings both ways though, as the i'm sure it's no fun being the ONE guy on bix axles in a goup of A/T tire equiped rigs.

Like Too Short said............Get in where ya fit in, ho!

 

If i payed $25xxx i would wheel it. But thats why i got an xj. but i also use it for work so cant damage it too bad! but im def out there in my xj. i love playin in the snow.

and for the civic questions and some of em dont have everything so you dont race it. i got a dd civic, is slammed has nice rims but thats is everyone wants to race but id get smoked. Its the same as if i was in my 56' buick. its ment to look sick but i dont drag it even though its built.

some people just perfer cool lookin vehicles vs stock. but hey at least those people can take price in something they did or spent their money on it, And yeah i hate pavement princes's too, i dont get why you would lift a dually with like a 8'lift and super swampers what kinda trail are you taking that thing on?

 

1. they're pansies
2. they'd rather go home and make sure that wife and kids aren't stranded somewhere because of the snow
3. they've already dropped a vehicle in a hole in the snow before, and they don't wanna drop another one
more than likely they were just afraid to go out there, but keep in mind that it's a lot harder to recover a vehicle in the snow, so nobody wanted to be in the situation to need help
