[/QUOTE]I don't know, I think being able to drive up trees is pretty hardcore! [/QB][/QUOTE]

Hee hee. Being able to drive up a tree and actually doing it are two different things. I love mods, and I really enjoyed beefing the old jeep up. But when it came down to it, I wasn't about flexing, showing off how verticle I could get, or anything like that. I was just about having a good time out in nature with my friends. I wanted my jeep to be capable of doing things if it came down to having to do it on a trail for reality purposes. The last thing I wanted was to be on a trail with busted axles, crappy tires, poor suspension, low clearance, etc. I put a lot of blood, tears, and sweat into it, but unlike a lot of jeeps (and jeepers), I never considered myself "hardcore," more like "capable." It was a beefy jeep, but probably the ugliest dog on the trail. All I care about is having fun, being respectful, and staying away from those that ridicule others based on their rig.
