[jonbo2002]

Welcome, good luck to you kid seems like you hit a couple nerves . Read up and you will be able to find all the answers you need, also look at member builds and find the look you're going for. Then you will know what to do!

...the Porsche owners I know drink Bud Light and Coronas, so take that as you will....

Florida Porsche owners seem to be Floridians first, so that explains it well enough for me. Flee.

[JorDaneeKey]

Ugh. And counting down the days till we leave.....

None of us are Jeep owners, thus none of us are truly hardcore. Just sayin.

[The Roadie]

I fully admit to not being that hardcore. However, I carry cold beer in the fridge (no ice needed) with me for the end of the day, my AC works, XM radio keeps me in the loop in case nuclear war breaks out while I'm on an expedition, I can have elegant filet mignon with a fine cabernet for dinner, and I can brew fresh coffee every morning. Most Jeeps don't have the cargo capacity.

I must be gay to enjoy all that on the trail.

I'll go with that Bill, you do seem to be quite Happy, as the word is actually intended to mean, so yes, you are in fact "Gay."

At least until someone makes you un-gay and you have to teach them lessons...

Either way, to the new poster. Welcome to the Site.

Looks wont help you when your stuck all alone in a field or a trail and don't have the ability to get yourself out. Read what others did wrong and learn from that first. Adopt what you read and form it into your own idea for your rig. Even Zombiekiller told us what he was doing, even if we thought he was odd for what he had done. It was the lack of answers on some of the mods that I think made some angry.

Let most of the razzing roll of your back like water off a ducks ass. If you can manage that, hang around, you'll learn something. If you can't, quietly go away, we'll respect you more for not trying to be more than what you are if this is the case.

Get a winch and you will be ahead of most on this site.

Alright I can see what I said really hit home, didn't think everyone was so touchy about word choices, let's get loud about it that seems to work. This vehicle is gonna be a daily driver not just something I bag so I wouldn't mind if it looked half-civil, im not doing this just for looks so hopefully that eases your anger. I didn't get a whole lot of time to look at this site before I registered so Getting bitchy at me not looking at every single thread helped out too.

[Cesario17]

By the Way the way big thanks to those that didn't write a reply getting mad behind a computer screen!

[HARDTRAILZ]

Who is mad....I just having fun.

BTW most of the trucks here look civil and we aren't getting bitchy as you say, we are just razzing you

I'm so disappointed I was so busy last night that I didn't see this when it was posted.


Jake,

There's some good info here... viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2290

For looks there's lots of good stuff here... viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1761

Nobody is mad or angry, but these responses are typical if you haven't read the intro thread that for the most part will answer all the basic questions. If it's an appearance only lift, then the info in that thread will be more info than you need. The stickies and the responses you're getting are there to discourage a thousand post a month asking "what's the best lift" or "what's the biggest tire", etc. It makes the board easier to navigate and search because the posts are info dense... generally speaking.

[NC_IslandRunner]

Most of us use our trucks as daily drivers too.

Yup, do a 50mi a day trip for work.

Cliff notes... 265/75r16 with a markmc lift and spacers will get you lifted. Read the stickies and get it in the air.

Well played man!!

Heck, owning a HiLift is ahead of most on the site, I'm afraid.

When I put mine on brackets on the roof rack (before I worried about it turning into a javelin in a low speed pavement accident) somebody on Trailvoy said: "Nothing says 'I'm gonna go out and get stuck.' like a HiLift."

[HARDTRAILZ]

My hi lift is older than some members here.

I think most of the guys were just trying to hammer home some of the issues you will need to tackle if you want to become a contributing member of this society.

Being that you will get your license in 2 months, you're obviously not in a hurry here. And unless you're very advanced for a 16 year old, you likely don't have the cash reserves that we recommend an offroader to have.

We certainly are not trying to keep you from being here. You're definitely welcome, but be honest with yourself. If you're looking for ways to make yourself look cool, we don't think you'll get what you're looking for here. If you're deeply interested in exploring the more undeveloped areas of this world (and not just making a couple tracks through a corn field or construction site), then please stick around. You can learn a lot from these guys. There are a few young members of this site that started out on a similar track as you, and have really developed their knowledge and skills to become a contributing member of this site.

The choice is yours, just be honest to us and to yourself.
