one of the kids down the street from me got his parents to buy him a really nice lifted 97 tj with a ton of upgrades and money poured into it. i took him off-roading with me and he stalled every time he had to relatively crawl over something and wouldn't go through any of the longer mud puddles cause he didn't want it getting to dirty.

Just starting this so people can see even if they throw 15,000 in there jeep doesn't mean they can do anything. This is the biggest thing I hate cause I usually see the Rich kids getting their parents credit card buying something or getting someone to put the stuff on for them. Then they go out and try wheeling and do it terribly. Driving experience and knowledge doubles your jeeps capabilities.
I ****ING LOVE MY RR

I don't see a lot of rich kids driving newer lifted jeeps, although I'm sure they exist. I see more of the guys that buy the new 2/4dr JKs, lift them, throw on the Rockstar rims (which look too nice to take off road, IMO), and have lights and everything. But every time I see it, it's always spotless. Come on.

I get allot of that around here, I always see them scoff at me when my xj is covered in mud, and they make fun of my trail damage. I have never seen even one spec of dirt on any of their rigs. I never saw the point to installing a huge lift with chrome 20's and mt's. These trucks I fear are like their owners, "queens" its sad they will never leave the pavement, but to each his own.

I saw this kid that stalled his TJ when he tried to get two wheels over the curb so he wouldn't have to go over the speed bump.
