jake,
i learned to wheel with a g-wagen, gwagen's flex about as well as my wife's bmw. so i had to pick different lines than my buddies in toyotas and rovers. i finally took my panties off and just ran their lines, which taught me to stop worrying about flopping or bending my truck. if it happens it happens, find a straight truck and swap everything over.

yes I'm sure frank's truck can out flex my truck, but at the end of the day I'm sure frank's mindset is much like mine, i drive my truck as if it is a loaner and the guy that loaned it to me is someone i could care less about.:)

Mike,

Cool story

You have obviously never wheeled with me.. I could give a shit less about flopping or denting my truck on the trail.

What I care about is keeping it straight on the road or being able to maintain control if I have to swerve to avoid an accident.

My truck tracks fine, I don't swerve...it takes a quarter mile to correct

Kevin, it's that proverbial East Coast vs. West Coast thing.

Without starting a pissing match, I'll just say there must be a reason bill Baird and half the ultra 4 guys stated the Rausch creek loop was way more technical than the actual king of hammers loop. We don't have any trails on the east coast with flat out spots longer than an eighth mile. Just miles of sloppy rocky tree root trails, it comes down to location regarding set up. We set our trucks uP differently. It's not that we're billy bad asses we just know we are going to bend sheet metal on a trail.

LOL Mike, I apologize if any of linked photos had anything to do with four-wheeling :)

I know the difference; there used to be time when we drove on the trails like you mentioned. Including in snow. The place's closed, and it's been a long time since I sold [whatever was left of] the jeep.
