I agree with 1978fordf250.

Big lifted trucks. Basicly something a 4x4 poser drives.

One of those guys that puts **** loads of money into his 4x4 truck but will never let it get dirty. Kind of things where if it gets a scratch he takes it to the body shop.


Its a disgrace! You should see my doors.
Driver door damaged squeezing through a dug out area.
Passenger hugged a tree when I was on a hill climb, started sliding sideways haha.

Mall Crawler= A truck made to look pretty but is not equiped to do any real off roading. Part 2... A truck that has been "rigged" to be tall a look like an off road truck but would break or die on it's first journey off the pavement.

I would narrow it down to almost any late model vehicle with a lift, big tires, and nice bling all over the place. You NEVER see those guys up in the mountains. For some reason, most of the trucks up in the hills are stock older ones

If I have Swampers that I actually USE in the mud and trails on stock rims and buy a set of some sort of Procomp X Alloys and like 33-35" All terrians and swap them out when I plan to go mudding will I be considered a mall Crawler?

Not in my book. Did you already buy the swampers for the stockers?
If not i would get a wider set of wheels to accept some wider boggers.
Just my 2 cents, and i actually do the same thing just opposite, and i dont have boggers....

Ive got my goodyear mrII i believe on some alloy wheels, then ive got my sweet shovels on the stock wheels, when ive got a bunch of arrands to do or a long drive to make i swap out the wheels, its a big change on mileage goin from 37" to 33"

also... I would get like a 33" at for the street, just to off set the gas cost. Yea the truck wont look all bling, but the gas savings will be able to be used in the truck makin it a better wheeler.
