Yep, never been in the shop for anything. I got it at 68K miles and its at 87K right now. Actually the worst of the beating wouldnt even be on tape. I've ramped it a few times and taken it some places it never should have been. Not to mention the way I drive on an everyday basis would tire a sports car. This thing is really built like a rock.

I am going to "nay say" and spoil the fun

It is videos like this that get public lands closed
I worked my butt off along with several others to get the forest service to reopen the nat. forest in LA and they bring up this kind of "childish stuff"
they have seen 2wd trucks stuck on "atv only trails' they see folks doing stuff like this on the public right of ways and think that this represents the "group as a whole"
I want to have a place to wheel in the future but as long as people act like this I will live to see the day when the only place left to wheel is private land and you will be very lucky to find that

Do what you want ,because I am by no means in a postion to tell you other wise, but I can tell you that I dont like it when I know that when people see you doing this they think that every body who "wheels" acts this way and that is not true

Thank
Jason "a responsible off roader"

Jason the responsible offroader, I agree, it would be very irresponsible for me to do that. But, except for the first scene of the movie in the school parking lot (which everyone tears through) the second clip is land owned by myself and the clips in the mud are from our local landfill and the guys there dont mind if you tear through it; in fact I asked them. So to onlookers of the video without prior explaination it could appear negative, but in reality nothing is wrong with it. :wink:

If every body drives off a cliff then it's OK?
If the onlookers see it as negative and they happen to be the ones who count then I see plenty wrong with it as they will talk about "that guy acting foolish in his jeep" to some one who works with the forest service and then that guy says "yeah they all act that way" wich is not true but by nature people rember the bad things and all the good is forgotten then people like me are at square one

Well Im sorry if it offends you but no one in town has told me they found it offensive. If anything I have received compliments on my vehicle when its covered in mud. The scene in the school parking lot may have been a bit extreme but nothing else in the video should be the least bit offensive considering most of the land is traversed by either tractors or construction equipment that does considerbly more harm than any SUV.

You get offended when some one farts in an elivator with you and you dont say anything to them but all day long you tell all your friends about it
this ,to some, is the same thing ,they would not say any thing to you but tell all their friends about it and speak in a negitive way

Please do not take this the wrong way but I am willing to bet that you are young ,18-22, and have very little "life experiences" that is why I am telling you this as nicely as I can if I thought you were a 40 year old man I would just come out and call you an idiot and leave it but if I do that then you will never see that there is "good" and "bad" off roading I want to promote the good ,the family based fun, out on the trail waching guys push their rigs to the breaking point just for fun
then latter sitting around and joking about who did what how
I dont want to promote blasting down a mud 2 track at 30mph or ripping doughnuts in the school parking lot because that is the image tht people will rember
no matter how often they see the good stuff

With that I am going to let it rest

Jason
