DITTO!

My thoughts exactly, Rob. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />



Whenever I have one of those inevitable encounters with a ôReal 4x4ö owner, whoÆs standing there looking at my Rodeo with one of those unmistakable æThere ainÆt no way that thing could keep up with ME!Æ sort-of-looks on their faceà

If I have the time - I always try to introduce myself and find a way to steer the conversation toward the modifications that IÆve added, with the sincere hope that the light bulb will go off over their head, wherein theyÆll realize that mine isnÆt simply a æMall CrawlerÆ wanna-beà Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesnÆt û and it really doesnÆt bother me if the attempt failsà because once in a while I get lucky and meet someone whoÆs a whole lot more interested in the sport itself, rather than what brand of vehicle I use to get me there.

If I donÆt have the time - I just nod politely and walk away û smiling û knowing that in all likelihood my Rodeo could probably school them off-road - or at the very least, do a mighty fine job of keeping up with them, and leave them scratching their head as to how I was able to do it.


In the end, it really doesnÆt matter what you drive, as long as you enjoy yourselfà

Like the saying says:
Trail Rigs are BUILT, not bought.
(* Except maybe the Rubiconà That thing is just-plain SWEET-EVIL, right off the showroom floor! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> )



Good luck with your decision û although naturally, for obvious reasons - of course, everyone here is probably hoping youÆll choose the Amigo. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
