well senor snappy let me give you my mind sir. front the first day I came on this site and started posting I started getting bashed with my first thread of "Cherokee fans check it out" and was about XJ on 38s with stock axles and such. all I got was bla bla bla. Honestly, who gives a dam what you or others have done.....if you guys had XJs on 38s stock and broke the hell out of it...big deal, life goes on but that is not a reason to tell someone else "hey you, you're endangering the lives of those around you and your kids driving that thing" that kind of help is not helping anyone. we teach our kids stuff, they do it anyway like we did growing up so same concept here. I just think let people have fun with their build, let them get creative (which is what I am known for with XJs) and don't steal their joy. I have met so many people in my life who have seen me run 36 TSLs on XJ and they go out and get them and it's the best time of their life but what kind of support would I be and a fan to say "hell no u troll, you'll break your axles on first pothole you hit" now that would've ruined his day, discouraged him from anything fun worth doing to his truck, and making him feel like you gotta be rich to do this hobby. little bit of afro engineering and redneck ingenuity has gotten people very far in their hobbies, especially like this one. so all in all, give opinions to help others but I believe opinions should be made more of a "hey, easy on ....with those size...you could..." I think people on here, like you and others, FORGET WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT WHEELING STYLES and we don't all break shit cause we don't all beat on every 4WD vehicle we build. I have never broken a D35 or D30 in 14 years.....am I a Puss....according to yall I guess so.....do I have fun and enjoy the hell out of all types of off roading.....dam right I do. I just don't beat on my vehicles cause I can't afford to have to Tow it home, leave it in the woods or most likely with so many kids, can't afford to fix it but I still love going on the trails and just being there and doing what I feel comfortable doing to a safe manner that will not break my stuff. I have always impressed people that I don't brake stuff but I just keep telling them...if you beat on it, it's gonna break. My motto is if I can't crawl through it and keep RPMs under 3800 or so, than I just give up and move around until someday when maybe I can afford to build something to really romp down on it and beat up the trail. sure I guess I'd like to meet some of these guys someday and wheel together, but not for one minute do I have anything to prove to anyone about me or my vehicle. I am who I am, I wheel how I wheel, it works for me, and I have fun doing it. As far as illegal wheeling, Sampson is totally legal according to Caldwell County Sheriff Department and I only go maybe twice a year with a big crowd from here. I know about working hard for trails, keeping it clean and respectful and representing this sport the best I can, but if a spectator were to ever "read in" on some of these forums, I think they might find some surprising comments and such that wouldn't necessarity give us, the OFF Road Clubs, a good name.
I only hope this message to inspire others to learn to be more friendly with others in the future and think before they post and think of how it might really affect that persons spirit about their truck or dreams. If you can't build someone up, than don't speak at all and let your own junk stay in your own trunk otherwise inspire others to follow their dreams and goals with their builds no matter what route they take. Life and Trucks are full of imagination and who are we to take that away from others!!!
Dont be bringing me into this thread. I didnt say nothin.
