Well, I agree with you there, but we (most all offroaders) build our trucks to take offroad and have fun on the trails and to see the sites and everything that goes along with it. We didn't build em to see who can win first prize in a contest. But on the other hand it is nice to have the public admire your work :icon_thumby:

Yea, I understand what your saying, I just like giving some recognition to maybe not the most built truck, but he still offroads it hard.

Yep, all us TB'ers wheel pretty hard, as I started breaking stuff left and right, so it's past due for upgrades, and that's in the process :icon_thumby:

well....unfortunately I can't say that ( about the body damage ).....but I have surprised alot of Jeep guys who never thought I could make it where they went.....

in fact a few didn't want me in their group because they thought my truck would be incapable of what they thought only they could do....

yea, its the same way out here. That guy in the Jeep was like, "I dunno if I would go that way, It was tough for me..." So of course i would try it and make it no problem.

the only reason i don't have more body damage is because my tires stick out so far. the flares are ALL scraped up. the rear tires just push me around the rocks
