I am just ribbing ya a little man. I agree, some people drive off road like morons (read Chia ), but broken parts are somewhat inevitable if you take your truck off road at some point. I do know what you are talking about though. I have seen some big ass built up Jeeps break on trails that I went up with no problem. Too much gas and no brains is usually the mixture. Maybe a few beers thrown in for good measure.

I also think that it is important when you are looking at a difficult trail that you don't let others pressure you into running it if you don't think your skills or your truck are up to it. Screw them. It is not their life or their truck.

Actually, anyone who seriuosly dogs on someone that is not comfortable with running a trail is not worth going with anyway. If they were they would realize that it would be safer for everyone concerned for that person not to be on it if they don't think they can handle it. Sorry for the long ass off topic post, but I have seen this too many times.
