I think that was more Boggers vs. street tires. Poindexter there with the Raptor didn't look like a seasoned wheeler, either.

Yeah, I know. I was trying to be polite. A lot of the time, when someone is driving a POS, it hurts their feelings if you call it a POS.
I would have at least put it in 4WD before trying to drag the Raptor out.

I say it all the time...the Raptor is the coolest and most capabable production rig, but it's still just that...a production rig. The Raptor isn't the offroad monster it's hyped to be. I'd still prefer to buy a 5k truck, sink 20k in it, and have a more capable rig, with as much comfort, for half the price.

I agree, sink $25K into a project, you'll have something that is much more capable, much more bullet proof and you built it yourself, you didn't just whip out the checkbook and say I'll take that one.
Plus, you do it this way there's no depreciation, warranty problems or insurance problems and save $20K in the process.
