How many would be honest and say what kinda they are? Are you the type that is just hardcore? The guy that doesn't worry about beating his rig up a little. If it is muddy,so what. Even if there calling for rain you still go? The guy that drives through the mudhole (not a bog hole) and gasses it just to throw a little mud?
OR
Are you the guy that worries and says "I'm not scratching my paint or my panels" The guy that says "looks like rain for that day,I'm not going,It'll be too slick":rolleyes: or " I have spent too much money on my rig, I aint going up that"

This is for you big buggy guys too:)!

I love to hate my buggy if that makes sense? I pet on it when it's home and beat on it when it needs beat...LOL. I love to kill it. Surprisingly it hardly ever breaks! I guess I am dumb that way? If there is a wheeling trip and I can afford to go,I will be there rain or shine. Guess you know which category I am in WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
 
Dude...no way...I don't want to scratch my truck!

Seriously though...I have always been up for whatever as long as I could get the rig home at the end of the weekend. With that said...I used to like to keep it pretty (esp when i was still making payments)...however, as many of us know...more capable translates to bigger obstacles and more likelyhood of dents and trail damage. It kinda goes with the territory.

I kind think tire size and the amount of steel tube welded to your truck directly relate to the amount of damage your willing to take.

Exactly.

I wheel to have a good time, not to break stuff. I dd my Jeep and know it's weaknesses, stock axles and currently no skids. I wouldn't stay home just because of a little rain, but there are definitely things I would not try when wet that I would when dry.

And since we're including pics:

you need more choices there bud.
I don't quit fit into either one of those catagories with my wheelin style...
 
Im a bit of everything, I want to keep my jeep looking good, not too beat up, but at the same time Im definately down to go wheeling, and the rain won't chase me off.

The flop did minimal damage, and from 15-20 feet you just about can't tell.

Its not a big bad monster rig, but at the same time it has been a blast, and I will build a more hardcore rig eventually. Sorry, I dont take pictures, so these were pictures I had to hunt down to give an example.

I suppose they do. If I had your truck I'd have voted the other way, but that isn't what I bought my jeep for. Maybe one day. :beer:

Tell you what....If I see you on the trail sometime I'll let you bounce mine off a tree once so you know what you got to look forward to! Nice looking Jeep btw!

Later.
 
I'll go rain or shine and try what i think my heep may make it over. Just dont want to be that guy holding everyone up on a trail cuz the jeep just aint built enuf yet... but you never know till ya try
 
I go wheeling every time the rig aint broke and i can afford the diesel to pull it.
Hardcore? Dunno. Badass is my explanation of what we all do.
"Go big or go home" has nothing to do with your rig.
Its all in your heart!
Just my opinion.
 
I go rain or shine, night or day, hot or cold, as close as Uwharrie or as far a Texas. If I go wheeling, I go wheeling: Im going to hit as many trails as possible and as many obsticals as possible. I know what my rig can and cant do, but I am not scared to make the line between the two just a blury as possible.

First time ive seen your grand man that thing is nice love the aggresive look of it!
 
Sgt love the willys. Got any extra fenders laying around?:D
 
If I get one more dent in my Samurai, I'll probably give up on trying to keep it nice.
 
Rain makes it more fun but I agred you need more options. I didnt even see the most common type in your list.... web wheeler.

Take a guess what type i am.

I think I fall in the 'convenient' category. I don't do a whole lot of wheeling, probably only a half dozen times a year. I prefer mud and expedition to all else. I will say though, if there's a direction I want to go, I'll point my rig that way and have never not gotten there staying within my rigs capabilities.
 
I think of myself as a technical wheeler. I would rather crawl something and make it look easy than horse power through it. If I had any HP that might be different. I hate dinging up my jeep.
 
I definitely don't consider myself hardcore, but I like to wheel every chance I get. Mud is not my favorite. It doesn't bother me to scratch, dent, bash, or demolish anything on my rig.
