"It's a fullsize thing..." sayings?

[jekbrown]

Isn't the point to just wheel whatever. Like run what ya brung.

I hear ya, my anti-heep bias spawned from meeting a bunch of if-it-aint-jeep-it-aint-**** types the very first time I went wheelin. They spent most of their non-driving time standing around, kicking rocks and saying things like "nah, we can't do that trail, we got a fullsize guy with us" etc etc blah blah blah. Anyway, this pretty much convinced me that wheelin a fullsize was the best thing ever.

Everyone has a certain rig they don't like. I have no problem with Hummers (H1, 2 or 3)... but some people hate them. To each their own I guess. I have two probs with heeps... a) jeep elitism and b) people who run a 100% chevy drievtrain in their "jeep" and yet still talk about how their jeep kicks ass. If it wasn't for all those ****ers looking for Chevy D60s, maybe they would be a little bit easier to find and cost a little less. Sad thing is, the D60 is a good axle... but its polishing a turd by going in a heep.

Dont mean to make anyone upset, but me and my buddy were gonna buy a YJ for him to build but first we were gonna slam it to the ground just to annoy the local Jeepers.

With hydraulics?

 

[SchnorrCS]

Kinda off the heep thing, but I do have a cool sticker on my K5-
Right across the back of the highest bar in the cage it says "You wish your GIRL was this dirty"
Kinda my own F You to all the SoCal soccer mommies in their excursions and escalades, ya dig?

the thing that started me not liking jeepers is the fact that every time i have been stuck or a buddy has been and there was a someone in a jeep around they wouldn't even try to help, they are just like "o theres no way i could pull u out" which may be true but it doesn't always take that much, i hade one time i got stuck coming up out of a creek which my hitch was up against a rock underwater so i couldn't back up and i couldn't get enough traction to crawl up, some jeepers were there, wouldn't help waited for half an hour waitin for a buddy while they just sat watchin, by buddy got there pulled me about 2in and i crawled out my self, just needed a little extra traction

Let's not forget the bizillion of them spending all their yuppy bucks on every bolt on accessory available and thinking they are 'builders', heck I bet most of them even pay to have junk bolted on LOL!

 

[SchnorrCS]

I would equate jeepers as the Paul Tudels of the four wheelin world. No talent hacks with an add ons catalog

That is the truth. Man you hit the nail right on the head there. You can buy anything for them rigs and you only have to look at 3 Jeeps to see it all.

I saw one the other day and I thought it was some kind of Jeep Accessory Catalog rolling advertisement. It had more parts then a ricer. It had a roof rack with 6-7 of those 2"x4" foglights across it, front and back, and another row on the hood under the windshield. It had the little 31" Boggers (oh how cute, BABY BOGGERS!). Dont' forget customized Jeep seat covers, seatbelt covers, stearing wheel cover, and shift knob (for the automatic). It had a HiLift that had been painted bright orange and was mounted on the front bumper in a way that you couldn't get it off (I don't think) without taking off the big chrome offroad lights on the bumper (it looked completely unused). Oh, and did I mention he had taken a white paint marker and colored in the letters on the sides of the Baby Boggers? Even the spare!! It was so weighed down with crap I think it lost ground clearance.

Needless to say I parked next to it with my K5 with daddy 40" Boggers. I accidently parked so close to his driver's side door that he probably had to climb in the passenger side to get in. Oops, my bad.

Never owned a Jeep, always been a Chevy guy. I don't have a problem with jeepers per se, but d*cks in general suck. I have had Jeep, Toyota, Scout, and Ford (and Chevy for that matter) guys all act like asses on the trail so I don't necessarily have anything against Jeeps, just the ones that have assholes in them.

I actually have had more trouble with mountain bikers and dirt bikers than any other lumped together group. Mtn bikers think they own every damn trail in the state and the dirt bikers are just haulin' too much ass to wheel anywhere near them.


I would have to agree with guido666 though, Jeeps are generally the most over-accessorized vehicles out there. I even saw a damn matching Jeep bike and tent at Sportmans Warehouse the other day.

 

[Ten_Bucks]

I agree on the thing with Jeeps being the most over accessorized vehicle on the road. It kinda reminds me of those fullsize pickups that have damn near the entire Lund catalog on them. And speaking of Lund, why is it that most Monster Trucks still have the Moonvisor and Racerback from Lund installed on them? I see this all the time on Monster Jam And on Monsters Of Destruction.

^^^

one-they are prolly getting $$ for advertisemnt...
two-they still do look kinda cool...
three-they dress up the truck a little more...


imo...I don't like em', I know in the eighties they were a hot commodity....and just about every mexican in town has one on there van, or truck.

Great analogy. That show is fun to watch, but I'm guessing I'd probably be offended if I was a bike builder. Kind of like I'd imagine the old school jeepers are probably offended by all the over-accessorized poser barbie jeeps.

I agree with you on this one.

 

[SchnorrCS]

OK....So I live in SoCal, but don't hold that against me. I was born and raised in Colorado, and spent more than a little bit of time up the Poudre Canyon and at Kelly Flats. Anyway...what drives me absolutly fing crazy around here are the trucks. All lifted at least a foot in the front, but only 8 inches in the rear, with anyolebrand 37" mudders mounted on 22" rims. Oh yea, every last one of them is 2 wheel drive. Ass Clowns with to damn much money!!!!

 

[Loose Nut]

just a quess, moster trucks race in stadiums more then anything, and more then likly this is to keep the bright lights out of there eyes.


btw, my friend had the best sticker across his hood till the club had him take it off

"Your little princess is my little b1tch" i chuckled everytime i saw it.

Yeah, what a joke it is out here. I'm looking for a set of used 35's for my 15" black wagon wheels so I can wheel the K5. No bling bling BS chrome 22" rims for this redneck SD native.

Los Angeles Prerunners; lots of lift and chrome, diesel, 2wd, flame stickers, never dirt, nosebleed strereo, deep tint so you can't see how embarrassed they are when a CK5 mbr pulls alongside.

 

[5150_BEAST]

its a fullsize thing

the thing that bugs me the most about most of those jeeps and 2wd trucks that are all blinged out and bumping their 9,000 watt deaf boxes,and 40's on 22's is they look at my flat black 79 jimmy with dents,and really loud exhaust and scoff and give dirty looks when i pull up next to them at the light. like im not worthy enough to be on the road next to their vehicle,well you know what i do? i just blow their doors off with my PAID OFF,GOOD OLE 358 POWERED,MOM AND DAD DIDNT HELP,FLAT BLACK,UGLY AS HELL,MUD SLINGING REAL 4X4.

That's funny. That's what I do too. That is, until we hit 50 and I run out of gear. Damned 4:11 Posi. Or a turn. Damn real life, real use, real flexy home made lift........

Before I got my new rockcrawler rims, I had some real turds on the blaz. I bought the spray on "chrome" and hooked them up. I always made sure to point and give them the Bling hand signal (you all know it....1 finger and some times the thumb for good measure). They hate it when you make jokes about their rims. Sorry I meant DUBZZZ
