As an "over 40 something", the clubs are mostly just that, a clique of people that have been together for a long time and if you don't conform to the clique, you ain't in the club. More social than wheeling.
So true about the trailering. I need my Jeep to get to work on Monday. Paint damage and minor issues are fine but I can’t afford to lose an axle shaft/drive shaft for a Sunday funday.
I got the Mojave X for my reliable, don't mind to drive every day Jeep, but not to wheel off-road but for farms and lite trails. My Rubicon 4xe has never been fun to drive on the highway no matter what I do with it. But, I will drive it TO trails and be satisfied that I'm not passing tractor trailer trucks on the interstate at 75-80 miles and hour unless it's a bluebird calm day. I'll still have to drive it home afterwards regardless.
It means “You too, can bury your Jeep in the sand up to the pumpkins while trying to drive out and throwing sand above the roof resulting in sand in each and every orifice of the human body”. And laugh the whole time.
We've never done much wheeling. Our Jeeps have always been used for inclement weather, work, and sometimes as a daily driver. Forest roads, BLM roads, and snow packed roads are about the most difficult/technical that we drive on.
Same. For the most part. When I lived in CO, I enjoyed off-roading, but it was always about the scenery and the destination. Epic camping spots, old mines, ghost towns, etc. I never enjoyed when the trails got more difficult than I had expected because it’s just not fun when you’re trying not to tear things up. Now all I do is drive around on our family farms, put in work there, drive on forest service road and the beach. I use 4wd more than most people, but I’m definitely not trying to prove anything. I’ve never damaged anything and would like to keep it that way.We've never done much wheeling. Our Jeeps have always been used for inclement weather, work, and sometimes as a daily driver.

In Moab we had some friends that drove in from Oklahoma and they smashed their rear driveshaft on Hells Revenge. They took it out completely and drove into town with front wheel drive
Same. I really enjoyed my times out doing some technical / difficult wheeling in my two door but I don't think I'd get back heavy into it unless I had that two door back and was trailering it.
Before, I realized I was leaving CO, I almost bought a SxS and a trailer. I was tired of worried about beating up or breaking my DD. That would have been a lot more fun and they were a whole lot cheaper in 2013 than now.
Enlightened or secure is not how any man would describe selling his wife to the highest bidder wether just pictures or full on indecent proposal type situation. I wonder if she knows that he values her that little? I'll do a lot of things for a dollar but selling my wife or her dignity isn't one of them. Anybody who would puts too much value in money and not enough in their wife. Gross. (Yes I realize he already got banned but it's still gross).
I think dude got banned. I wouldn’t expect a response
No shock there............... so full of hate. Look at every one of his other posts - wow.
