True. He also sold his tow vehicle and trailer. That was a little over a year ago. He bought a new tow vehicle and trailer last weekend. I guess its a vicious cycle.

Our club also has another fella with a well built jeep on 39's. Lately he's usually seen on the trail in a mostly stock flat fender with 31" swampers. Why? because its fun.

Trailering is nice for its gauranteed ability to get home. But its also nice to take the trail truck to work on a nice day.

I'm not fond of exo cages.

Personally I like a fully enclosed vehicle for less than ideal weather (it would never rain when I'm camping <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ) for the inevitable mud and sub zero trail rides (-24 last january).

Its nice to be able to drive the trail truck to the trailhead from the campground.

Build what you'll use the most. Sounds like a buggy and lifted daily driver to me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
