Mall crawler?
Usually Mall Crawler (as opposed to Rock Crawler) implies a built up Jeep that never sees more mud and terrain than a puddle and a curb. Bit of "why did you do all that and not take it off road?". Term of derision.

Your pics are crawling ON the mall however, which is acceptable and encouraged. :rock:

I hope that you aren’t assuming that my rigs a mall crawler which it is not a build either. I also hope you’re not a hater because this is a forum for Jeepers not haters to share what we love about jeeps and not for judging, that’s on another forum I understood what mall crawling is but didn’t understand why you took that shot, any who it’s all good. I’m glad you at least had something to say. I guess I better give you these pics instead for at least they are not on stairs or mall

I’m sure you have an awesome JT build yourself, could I see some shots of it so that I get some ideas from you assuming you are a veteran at this stuff. I’d appreciate it because I love em all, especially built ones.

Whoa, I am sure it was a joke and not even meant to be called a mall crawler seriously.

Probably so but just in case... and he’s kinda right about being a mall crawler because my wife likes to kidnap it to go shopping, I can’t blame her I would too

Simply replying to "Mall Crawler?" that you posted thinking you might not have heard the term before and getting a kick out of the pics crawling on the mall.

Wasn't a shot at all, in fact it was a compliment for a clever if unintended play on an old saying.

In truth, I don't really care what people do with their Jeeps. They can tow them with a horse to Greenpeace rallies eating tofu and singing kumbaya for all I care. Long as you're having fun, knock yourself out.

I appreciate your response and apologize for my misunderstanding. I also thank you for the compliment as well. I got to say those pics of mine did look like a malltruth is it was a local park.

Looks like it handled the flex no sweat! Gotta be a good 2 foot drop rear tire to front. :like:

Nice - what was the trail?
Bent Creek Gap Road

It is really a gravel road with camping spots. I was using AllTrails app for the first time and was looking for an easy ride, ended up seeing minivans and a Prius....just happened to find a muddy spot and those rocks.

I think there are some good trails around there, just gotta know exactly where.

Will try Brown Mountain next time.
