They are both bad on a vehicle. IFS and rocks dont mix
Mud ruins every thing under a truck , especially wheel bearings

yeah i used to snap cv joints with 33inch thornbirds on dirt with a 2.8. i couldnt imagine how itll hold up on the rocks.

i used to love mud now i try to stay away from it. im not scared of it but id rather be playing around on hills/trails/rocks. mud is a little easier on the hard parts of the truck but just make sure you clean out everything every other time you go out

I cant say I bought mine 100% stock.

The previous owner had put a bushguard on, nerf bars, and keyless entry/command start.

I have blacked out the bowties, tail lights, and removed the ZR2. Not much, but many, many, many more things to come.

I hate some people at my school, whos' parents buy them a completely done-up vehicle, and they think they are so awesome.

Sure, some of the vehicles are amazing looking, but they have done nothing to it. I would rather buy a cheaper stock truck, then do my own mods to it.

My Blazer will prevail though (knock on wood, crossed fingers). The fact that I'm driving MY money, and they are driving their parents money makes all the difference in the world. Theres been 4 totaled parent-bought truck in the past 2 months.
