Admit it, your rig is a "mall crawler"...

[CitrusBronco]

Ok, so maybe its just me...LOL Im going to head out to the garage and back it out into the open air for the day. Does that count?

I think Facebook is where most of the mall crawlers hang out, I joined a few Bronco groups and that’s all I see. Plenty of those type to enjoy over there.
To each his/her own.

Watch out for that bird poop if you leave it parked outside.

Does taking a shortcut to the mall count ?

I look forward to taking my Bronco off road on basic trails but I'm just way too risk averse to true off-roading with a vehicle that I spent a lot of $$$ on. Mad props to the owners walking the walk as I respect the owners taking full advantage of the vehicle's capabilities. I wish I could live life as carefree but OCD is really difficult to shake.

yup I admit it! My bigger complaint is the line for Chick-fil-a is getting out of hand at the mall, here is where I got in line the other day...

It's the way you GET to the mall that counts!

I am a proud mall crawler for now. My first off road vehicle (4 wheels, at least) so I'm not a stranger to rough trails, but a stranger to taking a truck/car through those areas.

All in time, like some mentioned, waiting for the new (to me) to wear off. Slowly building up the stuff I may need (for now just a flag mount, some air down/up things) for the sand dunes possibly in a month or so, and I sort of want to take it to the place we ride dirt bikes, but I have read those are a bit less 'beginner' for 4 wheeled vehicles.

I do love camping/kayaking/dirt biking, and just being outdoors. So it's nice to have a vehicle that could do "anything" I plan to do with it and then some. Much like my street bike, it's made for folks with much more talent than I. But it looks rad, and when we were looking for vehicles, I rented a Jeep for a weekend and really loved taking the top off randomly at times. But couldn't get myself to buy one with all the recalls and issues they were having, so "removable top" really narrows down your vehicle choice!

I have only had it 3 months, and it's our only car (wife and I commute/ride our street bikes year round) so while I really want to 'test it out' ... I'm also a bit hesitant ... but hopefully this summer I'll get some introduction to it. Although, with Portland roads, I'm basically offroading anyway.

Had to check that I wasn't on the Facebook page for a minute there , considering the topic .

Technically, yes. I've worked as a Retail Developer for over 22 years. Accordingly, mine can definitely be found at a Mall 3-5 days/week. However, it's not the reason I bought her...

Our off-the-grid family cabin requires 4WD to access and my hunting trips often require 4WD.

Once you take it out once you'll want to do it again and again....

Currently an unapologetic mall crawler until the new wears off. Got people at work that want me to get out with them (Toyota guys/gal) and I will. Soonish Just want to enjoy it pinstripe and dent free a little longer.

Trust me, no one lies on their death bed wishing they had washed their vehicle more often.

The mall around here was torn down several years ago so it doesn't even see that much action. I did drive it on my lawn; once.

 

[FilmcoBronci]

Haha... Sure. We stop at the mall.

THIS is the Mall Crawler of the family. Wife's Bronco Sport HEL. It truly spends a lot of time at the malls of Miami.

 

[kulhand]

Mall crawler.

I will be the first to admit it. My 24 WT is a mall crawler. Its just too damn pretty to get dirty. I wash it once a week whether it needs it or not...LOL. The underside literally looks like it came off the line yesterday. I'm not ashamed to say that I'm very hesitant to take it off roading.

Breaking that seal and getting the entire underside filthy plus the rest of the truck - makes me a bit uncomfortable. Especially considering how much this damn thing was lol. Lets hear from some more mall crawlers, let us know why you don't/wont offroad yours.

I 10000% am with you.

I am on my 2nd Bronco, my 1st Bronco was a heavily modified Wildtrak with full King Suspension, 37s on -18 Black Rhinos etc. all bells and whistles even full PPF.

I would never have dared take that off road.

I upgraded to Raptor and went with bunch friends off roading at Mahwah and I left Raptor at trail head. In no way am I off roading it. It is full PPFd etc but I don’t care.

I’m never taking my Raptor off road and that’s that.

Ohhh I’m getting ditch lights etc I’m most likely never going to use as well.
