Show me your 20's

[5GENIDN]

Reading some of the responses to your question and had to chuckle. So many dudes on this forum who think that they are the arbiters of cool. These are probably the same guys too timid to go talk to a woman or constantly seeking validation from others for everything they do while believing they ar rough and tumble trail rebels for owning a car. Lol.

While that is a very mature take on things, you are either new to the off road community or new to forums.... This place is mild compared to some of the old ones....

If you do not understand the animosity toward "20s" and "dubs" you really have not been around very long.

Granted I have "liked" a number of the 20s photos posted on here because they are not completely ruining the entire function of an off-road vehicle. I think that attitude (speaking for myself and SOME of the old timers making derogatory comments in ribbing the choice) that attitude developed long before a vehicle could actually fit a 35 inch tire from the factory. Typically a 20 meant rubber bands intended for a race car, not an off road vehicle.

And even though you are coming from a mature take of the issue, I still felt compelled to explain that to you. hhhmmmmm.

And 20s with a rubber band... still going to get sh!t on... Some of us just have to come to grips with the fact going to a 20 does not mean a rubber band is required any more.

Well said sir. I feel the same way as far as when people here the words 20's & 22's they automatically think rubber band tires. It's year 2024 and we are now able to run 33" & 35" tires on the wheels in question. I personally run 22's with 33x12.50 tires. I'm not a rock crawler but I do go off-road and do a lot of fishing & they perform perfectly for my application.

even with 33s your 22s are still going to get crap from the guys out west... That probably does work fine on the beach but out here... those rims would definitely be a detriment to you... But most of us do not understand the limited options you have back east for off roading. Out here you can run the beach and on the same trail end up rock crawling on a mountain side. You NEED the sidewall aired down to get the patch to make it up the rocks and the wheel would just get destroyed.

But you guys don't even see those conditions. You have mountains, that we call hills, and they are definitely not the same exposed rock that we have.... In case you ever take a road trip west... be aware of that.... trade off... we don't have the swamps???

Clearly, you are one of those about whom I speak. Another keyboard warrior. The gentleman did not ask for your opinion on what he was thinking of doing. He asked for photos from those who had already done it. I frankly don’t give a whit what you think about me.

Then take a long hard look at what I posted and everything I have said. Take a look at my "likes". I added a little humor and did not denigrate anyone.... My humor may not be for everyone. Not sure there is anyone that appeals to everyone.

But you seem easily offended.... You need to grow some skin.... And you need to understand... If you post an a forum you will get opinions, solicited or not. The fact you do not seem to understand that does actually surprise me.

Wrong! He clearly stated that he didn't care what you think of him.

I think this would look pertty cool as a 20 inch sticker on the back window of a Bronco....

Not easily offended. You replied to my message unsolicited. If anyone is thin skinned it must be you. Your thinly veiled insults and passive aggressive comments not withstanding, you really need to try to get to the point where you are more self actualized. Maybe posting in an adult forum isn’t for you yet.

Projecting are you?

I will repeat.... Please read carefully this time

This is not passive aggressive. I think it was pretty straight forward. I am not calling you names like "keyboard warrior". I am calling it as I see it since you are obviously taking umbrage with my posts.

I'm having trouble following what your beef is. You seem to be upset that... someone replied to your initial comment? On an open discussion forum? Your initial comment where you started hurling insults out of the blue?

 

[Amac]

Not upset. Not offended. Mildly amused and very slightly stunned by the lack of forethought before posting.

So…a guy on the forum asks for pics of people with dubs on their bronco, because he likes the look. A bunch of trolls come out of the woodwork and, instead of answering his question or being adult enough to realize that what they consider cool may not be to someone else (ie. being self actualized) tell him how stupid that is. In essence bashing him for not being the outdoor purists they think they are. Then, a couple of you get your p’s hurt when I point this out. Ironically, all of this happens without me calling any of you out by name.

Laughable really.

I for one think 20s look fine when paired with 44s. Get some TSL Boggers on 20s and have a great time.

Corvette guy, now it all makes sense.

Welcome to the internet, apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a crime.
