Thinking about buying a LoMax 205

[Greg72]

this is way to much time/effort/$ to spend on maintaining highway-capable rigs. So much easier to just buy a trailer and a cheap tow rig and call it good. Besides, its entirely possible that while beating the hell out of your 4x4 that you will break it to the point where it can't drive on the highway safely. At that point it doesn't matter what your gear ratio is... you need a trailer.

Yeah, a tow rig and trailer is the cheap way to go..... ROTFLMAO


From my own observations, this is another one of those "defining moments" in a K5 buildup and it usually doesn't end well.

• Buy a K5
• Start Wheeling it
• Make Select upgrades
• Wheel it more
• Begin making SERIOUS changes
• Wheel it more
• Make the final change (usually re-gearing of axles, or huge tires) that makes it "street-unfriendly"
• Realize you need a trailer and tow rig now
• Realize you don't have the money, space or ability to own all those things.
• Get depressed
• Sell it, part it out, or let it sit unused and unloved for long periods of time

I know that not everyone thinks the same way I do (duh!) but when the weather is nice, I love the idea of just jumping in my convertible K5 and driving places....the beach, burger joint, BBQ at a friends house, etc. For me, the joy of owning a K5 is in being able to enjoy it everywhere.....not just on a trail (or on a trailer)
