lil is wanting to take her explorer and do bays
been trying to tell her its to low and would beat it to death not to mention what it would do to her drivetrain (wheel bearings, seals, water in rearend etc)
but she wont listen to me gonna add a poll and would like everyones input please

[TiredIronGRB]

Take care of the DD :idea:

[chaser]

Dont wanna thrash the DD

[Gubni]

Let her drive the yota.

[TiredIronGRB]

Let her drive the yota.

That would be the best, don't take a chance on messing up the long trip vehicle if you know what I mean.

That's why I've only taken the Element to Harlan once :oops:

[Thumpszilla]

I have to agree it won't hold up to well to wheeling.

[Gordon]

I agree - don't do it. Wheeling a D/D can be risky. You might get away with it once or twice, but.... it is going to suffer. Every one of our rigs has some kind of trail damage, whether it's body dents, bent tie rods, mud in everything, tire wear, and even a AW4 input seal, torque converter, and pump :twisted:

[TiredIronGRB]

Maybe I should leave the Cruiser and take the Xterra.

Do IT. I need to ride in your xterra sometime. See how a normal one handles etc. I think I would enjoy one as a DD.

[DJRobB]

No !!!!

Not in an explorer !!!

Thats like hitting a nail with a wrench. :(

Sure you can do it but ?????

[NC_James]

Vince,

DO NOT LET HER

JUST THINK OF THE OLD F150 :lol:

I had to laugh it already has body damage from when I was rear ended at a stop sign in greene county ( :roll: ).......

But thank You guys for your imput I guess after we get blue up and running I'll look for something I can take off road.....I have been looking at 4runners for that... or maybe a bronco..... but there was a part of me that thought just maybe the explorer could do bays without a huge problem.... I guess Vince will just have to let me drive the yota :lol:

[Bluegill]

Vince, remember the first time I met you? Russell drove Amber's Sport Trac thru Paint Creek - he was right behind me in the convoy & I could hear all sorts of banging & clanging from underneath it. He was in the doghouse for quite a while after that :lol: She also made him get his own trail rig, but I don't think he's done anything with the XJ yet :roll:

[Dino1967]

yeah i flipped me out such a nice vehicle up in there
he has been wanting to sell it but i cant afford it and needs a lot of work before it would be able to take off road
