Meh....

I'm a proud mall crawler (it is even in my sig on another forum).

I have THE mall crawler of Jeeps...a 4 door automatic Sahara with a painted top and saddle leather interior.

However....being a motorcycle guy first...I ALWAYS wave...and I'm NOT a poser.


All posers are mall crawlers, but not all mall crawlers are posers.

I plasti-dipped my stock wheels, added a "rubi style" Sahara hood sticker, pulled my bumper covers and called it a day. No lifts or tires or jack mounts for me. I'm looking forward to being able to drop the top when it gets warm and enjoy the only 4 door, 4WD, American made drop-top on the planet.

And mine has not looked that way for thousands of dollars now ! Try to follow me and save your smart comments for some one else .
Interesting comments but you must remember almost all the body and wheel mods you do in the US are illegal in the UK.
I think some of the body and wheel mods you do are great but whats the point we do not have the countryside that allows us to take our vehicles off road, in fact a lot of the so called off road sights are areas that are specially assigned, and they are nothing like the areas you guys use.

Your last comments confuse me as i certainly never meant any offence, just joining in the banter.

Just found this post and its true BUT! each to his own, as well prepared your car is for what you like doing it will not wil any awards at the detailng shows.

No matter what car you own nothing is right and nothing is wrong, we all like whatever we do, and if you like climbing over rocks and sliding in the mud thats great enjoy it, but dont condemn others liking what they do. Buy the way I'd still buy you a beer.

You might like to know that my brother lives in San Diego and after sending him a picture of my Jeep his reply was , "It's too clean, I'd like to see it dirty"

I think I'd almost rather be a Mall Crawler than a Trailer Queen. At least Mall Crawlers spend more time in their jeeps even if it sees mostly pavement. Even with all the flashy do-dads its still the most capable 4x4 off the lot.

The sad thing is that sometimes crawling to the mall in some of the Northern states and Canada is more challenging than going through the mud and rocks. I have not had to do it in my Wrangler yet, but on more than one occasion in my old XJ I had to drive through snow over the bumper on roads to get where I was going.
