Oddly it's usually trail newbies that only dis on Zuki's.  I find any Jeep/Toyota owner or anyone that actually trails a bit totally back-up and defend Suzuki trucks.  it's the ididots in stock Z71's, Hummer H2's or bone stock "un-lifted" Wranglers with 35's jammed (literaly) in the wheel wells..that have maybe gone down a dirt road or drove in snow in thier neighbohood or in the mountains that usually talk the most crap.

and because they are ignorant morons i usaully let them talk.  Because by them talking about my Zuk and what it can't do...they just let me know that they know nothing about off-roading at all.  So their ignorance only amuses me.

Yep,

I get the same thing...I got two guys I work with...One bought a rolled Jeep for 3500 with 10'' of lift and 35 boggers...then bought one for $500 to get the body...The little square ones...it's got 3.08 gears and no locker....And he said if we go wheeling he would pull me out....

The other has a toyota with 35's and stock everything else but lift.

My tracker has 33's,Lockright,skidplates,8000lb winch, and 14'' ground clearance to the frame...I have not wheeled it since all the mods,but I will soon know...I tried to tell them all the lift in the world does no good....the tires are what gets you off the ground...so they set up 1'' higher than my tracker...LOL

, but blue book value, even with a blown engine, was still a little over 7,000, and running,

Last time I checked there wasnt a "blown Engine" option in KBB or NADA. even in "poor" condition the vehicle is expected to run.  I wouldnt pay that much for anything with a blown motor, but thats just me I buy most of my vehicles at police auctions anyways I just bought a 2001 Taco Prerunner that threw a rod,  but everything else is perfect for 500 bux so i would have a hard time paying 7000 bux for something that is blown up

To compensate for the idiots who don't know anything, I get 3x as many people who come up to me and make comments like "is it even possible to get that thing stuck?"

Last night I had a guy with a hugely lifted f150 on 37" swampers talk to me about wheeling for 15 minutes  outside a gas station at 2 AM... pulled up an said "Those little things can root, can't they?" It was pretty cool.

i once pulled out an escalade burried in the sand.  they swore i couldn't do it and bet me 20 bucks.  after i pulled him back on the road he offered the 20 bucks .i said no thanks all the pictures your girlfriend took are worth more than 20 bucks and i'm sure they'll be shown to all your friends.

I need to hit up police auctions . Just dont want to pick up a low rider, because the guy who is in jails homies might chase you while driving it . The option I chose on ebay was in the customisable condition(the checklist) I checked for the engine "repair or replace". they have since redone the blue book website, so I dont know if it is the same anymore.

maybe they should have bought some 15 or 16 inch rims with 35s instead of the 20 inch G wheels with the rubber band thickness low profile tires

howd you know they were from vegas
