Looks like you didn't understand what I meant... She DROVE offroad by herself, she's never done that before...Looks like she brought along a bunch of imaginary friends.
I was going for the 1st gen look on mine, which is another reason I went with that bumper
No spacers. Wheels have 0mm OS and 4.75" BS. I did the JKS Max Tire Clearance mod as well, just to clear my 37's! Tires are standard 12.50" wide. I have much shorter flares though.
I'm not sure? He and his wife had almost matching Bronco's, both 4dr and White, she had purple accents, but much nicer wheels and hers was a WT. She had very loud, obnoxious music blasting out of some aftermarket speakers. He had red accents, those awful wheels and his was a BD. In my opinion, neither were the true offroad type of people I'm used to riding with.
The Bronco groups can sometimes bring out the inexperienced and downright unprepared. When they get dangerous, though... I missed two outings earlier this year where this guy insisted on leading, took every hard obstacle and mud path and sped through things without waiting, from what I understand. Thankfully, there's cooler heads involved and I think he got the message. He didn't come out to the ones I went out on later.I'm not sure?

I had to drive his wife's Bronco through an easy washout, because she got scared of one rear wheel coming off the ground, on the Bronco in front of her. When we got caught up to the rest of the group, I told the girls husband, that I had to save her on that obstacle, because he ran off and left her! He said, just punch it and send it, who cares if you flip it! I told him, that's definitely not the way I ride! That was a downright shitty thing to say if you ask me!
My wife drove through it like it wasn't anything, but I got out and spotted her. To be honest, really poor offroading from this group we went on... Communication was not that great. Nobody in front of me waited for us to catch up, actually, the one in front of me was the mall crawlers wife, that I saved... She was also tailgating whoever was in front of her. Neither of them wanted any GMRS handhelds. Every time my wife and I got to an intersection, I would have to key up the leader to find out which way they went... Just a poor offroading experience, in my opinion...
That's why my wife and I are going to be the only 2 going this weekend. I don't think I want to ride with the majority of the ones we went riding with 2 weekends ago, again, LOL!
Thanks! EG wouldn't have been my 1st choice either, until I saw this rendering on this forum, then I knew I had to have it!@Mirage The trucks look great. Some of my favorite 2-doors & I'm not a fan of the EG in general, but love the way yours came out.
Youtube is full of that nonsense if that is what you are looking for
Thanks! That's fine, she doesn't have ride shotgun anymore, LOL! I can drive fine without here
And trails get closedThanks! EG wouldn't have been my 1st choice either, until I saw this rendering on this forum, then I knew I had to have it!
Agreed on YouTube idiots acting stupid on trails. Was researching the ride we're going to this weekend and found a bunch of spoiled kids, all in Toyota's and Lexus's spinning out in water crossings or hitting water crossings too fast and just giggling like little whores! I thought to myself, what a bunch of idiots, that's how drive-train parts break!
Yea, I kinda hope they stick to the streets/mall. He asked me after the ride about my wife's front bumper. I gave him all the info about it. I said, it was a pain to install. He then said, oh, I didn't think about that, I don't have tools, I'll guess I'll have to find someone to install it... I just shook my head when he said that... After the ride 2 weeks ago, he asked me to check out these bumpers he found, so I did.
They're like $500 for the pair. I said, what exactly do you like about these things? He said, the red, they match my wheels! I said, you do what you want too, it's your money, but if it were me, I'd buy quality/function-ability over some half ass red spray painted parts... He just gave me a thumbs up and never said anything else.... I told my wife, they were both mall krawlers, neither had business off the pavement...
So wait a min… is that a stock wheel then? With 4.75 backspace and no offset and you’re still getting that much poke? Or is it a wider wheel.I was going for the 1st gen look on mine, which is another reason I went with that bumper
Wife has same wheels and tires, just 35's, instead of 37's. She had to keep the OEM Heritage flares, since the fenders/quarters are different than the rest of ours...
It's poor attitude to take. There is no need to gatekeep. Every one of us had to start somewhere. No one knows everything their first day on the trail.
No, neither of ours has the OEM wheels anymore. We have Fifteen52's Analog HD's 17x8.5, 0mm OS, 4.75" BS.
Poor attitude? So sue me! They can go do whatever they want too, I don't care! I just don't want to ride with them again, considering what he told his wife to do, then ran off and left her on that obstacle.... They both didn't wait for anyone, music too loud to communicate.
I don't see any gatekeeping in his statement. In fact, he appears to have given solid advice to someone who doesn't know better, if their intent is to go off road. Hoping that he sticks to friendlier climes in another context might be chippy, but in no way did I see he told the guy to stay away because he's not capable or otherwise wrong for off roading full stop.
I don't have a winch nor a plan to get one.
I know, famous last words but where I go, there's usually someone around who does and I frankly don't care to go through the rigmarole for something I may never use.
His comment c/p from above:
Full Stop.
It's fine if we don't want to ride with others. But then don't sign up for a group ride especially one geared towards newcomers. When you do attend such a ride, then bring your patience and kindness. Help others out and don't sweat the small stuff.
