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

[vbrad26]

Never!

The curbs at Target don't stand a chance!

Hi Tim, which trail at the Moab Mall were you on in the first photo? I don’t recognize it, but would like to check it out.

Thanks. Karl

That is on Hell's Revenge, at the part where you can take a fork off to the right before Hell's Gate. It's a nice little photo-op spot before going back to the main trail because that fork dead-ends on this hilltop.

When I was dating my future wife almost 40 years ago...

40 years and she's still your future wife? Jeez, dude, commit already!

Way I figured it was I needed to rip that Band Aid off and get it over with. This is mine, about a week and a half after taking delivery, up in American Fork Canyon, as well as Moab and one night when I took my wife out to the desert after dark.

I'd like to hear about where you went in American Fork Canyon. I tried picking some trails up there and found that they either turned out to be walking/hiking trails or basic dirt roads that a sedan could take.

This thread is study in the emotional dynamics of the Bronco owner. A guy bares his vulnerable soul concerning his keeping his Bronco safe, warm and spotless.

The response was instantaneous: flexing. We see the swaggering need for acceptance (ie: Broncos overturned, buried in mud, FAA-clearance-level lifts, etc.)

BadmansSAS, I feel your pain. I pamper my vehicle also. We both know that when we need it to do the badass stuff, it can - and we're looking good when doing it. It's a strategy that works. Don't we instinctively know the mud-spattered vehicles smell like old french fries and savage sweat?

I would point towards the thread title to explain the response that was received.

And no my mud splattered Bronco doesn't smell at all.

I'll bet that - back in school - you liked the feel of dodge balls in your hand while the quivering little shrimps were getting pummeled in PE...

This guy kicked himself in the head 134 times, how productive have you been lately?

Heresy. I will admit no such thing.

This! I feel like I don't even need to post a pic. lol. Mine is off road all the time, hardly a mall crawler.

 

[Oldhippie]

I wonder what the thinking process was before this happened. "Let's see if I can destroy my undercarriage, and call someone for help." How about "I hate this thing so much, let me destroy it ASAP."

yes I am an idiot…I am not practical…I use my vehicles…they are not show pieces or investments…wife has her boring station wagon…my bronco is for off roading and “road trips”…my model A is my daily driver (mall crawler)…I enjoy the hell out of them…that is what life is about…Party On!

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.

Admittedly, mine will be a mall crawler UNTIL I get some bigger A/T tires… My Bronco Sport was the same until I put some KO2’s on it then I beat it up!
