Helpful and honest insight. Much appreciated. I like to talk through this perspective on what a stock BD Can do so thanks.I will also add, all the squatchers I was with afterwards were complimenting the BD saying it certainly held it's own. And it did. I just may have scraped more than them. There's definitely dents in the bash plates. But that's what they're for.
Now if you want to do more serious rock crawling, then it may be in your best interest to squatch. But only you can answer that.
I'll go out maybe 3 times a year. BD is plenty capable for my needs and wants. If my bash plates get f'd up enough I'll just replace. They're under the car. No one can see them.
Or maybe I'll start picking better lines. I'd say that definitely accounted for some of my hits.
Side note. I saw these dudes, not in our group, in souped up Jeeps on like 37's just cruising through stuff I wouldn't even consider... But I actually thought to myself, is that even fun? It looked too easy to them.
It's kinda all relative I guess. In my stock BD I had to try and pick good lines. Where the squatched guys didn't. So maybe it'll make me a better off roader eventually?
Anyway. Just kinda rambling. Hope it helps some!
