Yesterday I learned, I like rock crawling lol
It’s some of the most fun intense times you can have at feet or inches per minute. Just make sure your vehicle has the proper protections to be able to survive it. Even then, damage happens. I’ve bent tie rods, side steps, body panels and caused scrapes and gouges even with protections and doing everything “correct”. Rocks are fun but unforgiving. I firmly believe they make you a better more well rounded driver though.

I grew up in a time when 33's were big and 36's were huge. Not something Kyla from accounting could have tossed on her daily and have good manners to Trader Joe's and pilates.
Yep. I remember when a friend from high school's Toyota had a lift and 35s. It was almost monster truck territory. The fact that these can fit 35s stock with no lift or rubbing is incredible.

Spent the past 4 days hauling equipment and stuff to my new little garbage house.

Was a foreclosure, over run with trash, got for a very good price with the main ORV trail in the Upper Peninsula directly across the road.

Was only looking for a place to put my camper to ride from, but a house, electricity, well, sewer, grinder are a nice bonus.

I thought rock crawling and that sort of thing was so goofy until I went to Utah.

I love it now.

Love it. I look forward to buying another fixer when prices on the rot boxes near me come back to earth.
