my whole thing with this is i can never understand why someone would do this to a daily driver. and this is coming from someone who has owned a lifted truck for like the last 15 years. ive always had the big ol hillbilly truck but then a stock 2wd as a daily driver.

i currently have a 86 k30 with only 3inches of lift and 33s and that thing sucks everytime you have to get into it, load anything with it, tow something, back the trailer up, park it, etc

It pisses me off that they call themselves enthusiasts, but as soon as you start talking technical they are lost. Jeep guys(mostly JK) are the worst, they will pay a shop to make their vehicle look like the one in a magazine, then think they have the right to give the Jeep wave! Guy locally has a 9.5cti-s on the front of his Jeep cause it matched his paint and it's never been used!!! pfft! I AM Jeep guy, so I can say that.

I've gotten a hard time for having a poser Blazer a couple times...until I point out that the dents, bush scratches and creases don't match from panel to panel because I've had to replace several of them due to being caved in. The paint is good from a far, but far from good, and I'm lucky the local junk yard seems to keep a red Blazer in stock for me.

Yeah Jeep guys and guys who own the big Ford f250 and 350's, just the worst. I went off roading a while back and some punk kid had a jeep, now granted he was going through some mud but he didnt know what the thing on the front of his jeep was (it was a winch) and he ended up sucking a bunch of mud into his intake

A few things done to it, but I don't think I would be so cocky as to put that sticker on it.

Yeah but I personally don't think a direct bolt on made by countless manufactures are considered being built. More like a bolt on accessories and for jeeps that includes most suspensions in my book! Hell I can admit I have several accessories on my blazer but I've also got several things that were actually built by me as well. Oh and mine gets dirty

Yeah, though I agree with his sticker, it needs more built on it

The only thing I will say for that guy is that it appeared he did get it dirty from time to time. I saw a JK the other day that had an led light bar that literally cost more than my blazer along with a ton of other stupid expensive fancy accessories so I layed on the ground and looked under it and guess what SPOTLESS!! Not even so much as a damn rock chip.
