Actually, you did insult many people....however subtle. Not everyone has the disposable income to just buy a 6" full suspension lift with 37" tires and top of the line axels. Many of us work their way up to that.

It's nice that you are able to help people who have said 37" with stock axels, but that doesn't make them a poser because of their equipment. As far as I concerned, their on the same trail as you....so unless you're calling yourself a poser too (which i highly doubt)....I'm confused. Tell me again why their posers...

I have never seen anyone running 37s and stock axles on any of the trails I run where they are pretty much pushing it as needed...the hammers,the dusy ershim etc...my girlfriend and other friends like to wheel there's on more mild trails like john bull or dishpan,this is usually where I see the carnage from those set ups and all the while my buddy is makeing it through on 33s...without breaking anything because he built his rig correctly for the tire size he runs...most guys now days are throwing the biggest tire on there rigs just because they want to look the part but in reality there rigwill never see the situation where those 37s are needed and they can't even run the stuff the guy with the 33s is doing because his rig will break!

I kinda understand what you are saying but I know a few guys who run 37's on their stock axle and have wheeled the shit out of it , will it break eventually yes but untill then use it

My buddy 37 on stock axles out at John bull

I would never sell it only to buy something other then another Jeep.

Our family has a Jeep, and will always have a Jeep (maybe two one day )

Peace to all the Jeep brothers and sisters out there!!

Like I said..mild trails like john bull..I have seen guys get through there completly stock...go put that thing on sledgehammer where those 37s are needed...I just ran john bull last weekend with my buddy on 33s in a leafsprung yj no problem..and at least you have the sence to know it will fail but I can pretty much say for certain that when it does it won't be safely tucked away in the driveway...it will be blocking up that easy trail the guys on 33s are trying to get through

Exactly!!! Wheel the crap out of what you have. Fix it when it breaks. Then wheel some more. Posers are the ones with big checkbooks and every upgrade imaginable that have never turned a wrench on their rig themselves but the first ones in line to talk smack about someone else's jeep.

I really hope that comment wasn't geared twards me...my rig is a 2wheel drive conversion that I did myself and a lot of the parts on mine like the bumpers and suspension I fabbed and machined myself...
