I dont get it!!! What is the problem w/ having a rig that looks good? Both this truck and the red and white one are are BLAZERS!!! That said,if its dressed up where is the problem??
OK I understand that some of us will roll over most every time they go out, but I will be willing to bet the vast majority of us wont even so much as rub a branch on a freakin bush! I have been in positions w/ my 2 previous rigs where damage was inevitable. I scratched or dented it and said Oh well. I fixed the damage and forgot it. ( the benifit of being a body man )
SO what is the problem w/ having a clean nice looking rig, as long as you still use it. Envy?
And whats wrong w/ having 40 grand in a show rig? Do you know how most show rigs start?? People get tired of fixing what they broke, on the previous weekends adventures!
Appreciate it for what it is a beaten to death trail rig w/ killer engineering, thats so wasted the dents have dents!! Or a show quality cruiser that the only offroading it sees is when they pull it on the grass to wash it.
I personnaly will make mine the best of both, I will use and prob. abuse mine, but a few hrs of cleaning I will have the same Blazer ready to take out and cruise or show.
I hope Robin and Teresa dont get mad at me for this, but how many think of the White Knight as a too clean to use, show queen?? I dont think any of us would dare think that! Yes Teresa and Robin clean up the Knight and show it, But we all have seen the Knight covered in mud, heard the aftermath of the trail rides and the carnage of the broken parts.
So what do they have a show truck or a top quality trail rig, that will take a beaten and a half and come back begging for more??
My vote is the best of both.
Sorry to rant but Im gettin fed up w/ the beating the the "nice" rigs take. Mostly cuz mine will be one of the ones that has both! If I damage it, Ill fix it. but the type of wheeling I do does not require the rig to be rolled, or bashed against a boulder every time I take it out. To those guys yall are a special breed of nut! ( meant in the best way ) and theres no need to make a rig pretty and spend a ton of money on paint and body work to beat it up. But not all of us wheel that way.
