But on my side of this discussion I will say to each their own. I will never call anyone a Mall Crawler, Poser . . . Whatever. I just have a problem with the attitude of people who have the " I have the end all built "rig"" but never bring it out.

I'm NOT one to argue on internet forums or IRL. Its just not worth it. But I will however say once again that I don't care what people do with their trucks, Jeeps, cars, bikes... If its a look your going for, Idc. Do it up! I will give compliments when due.
I agree 100%. I have a "built" Honda hatch that rarely sees road time. I have a 100% stock '00 XJ that's my DD and I enjoy some light wheeling when I can. Do I beat the the tar out of my vehicles? Not normally mainly because I can't afford to fix something that breaks. Now, that's not to say I won't have a little fun with my vehicles, but being responsible has to take priority. Sure, it's not as fun, but it sure as hell comes in handy sometimes.

And speaking of backing out, OverEasy....I don't think I can go Sunday....my vajayjay has a little too much sand in it. ;-)

I dont get it.

If you like the way a vehicle looks you buy it. If you want it to be lifted with nice tires/bumpers why cant you? Its stupid to not get what you like. I get tired of hearing the constant whining of people about what other people do or have. Didnt your parents teach you not to worry about others?

PS. I understand the club backing out, thats just gay.

In the end, it's easier to "pose" than it is to actually "perform". Which is why in general there are more posers than do-er's. Much like water, the path of least resistance is followed.

Ok maybe if they talk like the go offroad or go in puddles to get dirty. But because they like the lifted look and style does not make the a poser. Sorry to break that to you, I guess you gotta have someone to make fun of to make yourself feel better.

i'm not a beginner at this game. i've wheeled long enough to know that some climb shots in a backyard doesn't make you a hardcore wheeler. every rig has a purpose. what you consider a poser might not actually be one. the time 'ol saying "to each their own" means just that.
i've met plenty of lifted jeep and non-jeep owners that thought i was crazy for putting my rig through abuse, and at that time i might have thought that they lifted their vehicles for no purpose. but if i waste my time judging and worrying about others, i won't have time to do what i built my rig for.

I'm not wasting any time. It takes me appx. .0367 seconds to spot the Pavement Princess's and the "sayer's" not the "do'ers".

It only took me .00234 seconds to know that you're one those people that will argue with anyone for the sake of nothing.
