You might own a mall crawler if your idea of off road is driving into a Starbucks parking lot. :)

BTW, took my two week old Sahara to the Uwharrie National Forrest. Being a greenie I stayed on the easy trails, and had a ball. When I get some more experience I may just try a moderate trail, may. But, never the difficult. I'm to old for that chit.

BTW, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a mall crawler. It's your Jeep, drive it where you want. :like:

If you drive a Rubicon with 37s and no lift, do your best to not put a scratch/swirl in the paint when washing and spend several hundreds on detailing supplies to keep it looking new. This is all me for the time being hahaha No shame in my game. Once I get it wheeling, I’ll careless but mall crawler til then

I'm totally a mall crawler until the new wears off my Rubicon. I aspire to do a good bit of off-roading but my ride is too pretty to muck up until it's worth more than I owe on it... I might get out and do some sane stuff with the other jeepers around here, but nothing worth bragging about.

Have this thread again in a couple of years. Until then think what you want about my pristine Rubicon sitting in the parking lot at the mall.

You might have a mall crawler if, paradoxically, it is a Rubicon outfitted with every piece of gear for the trail, from lifts, tires, lockers, Gobi rack, tree branch wires, rear lamp cages, etc.

………..

and it is spotlessly shiny and new. Then, you are either are a SEMA provider showcasing his/her rig, or more likely out for the image more than the functionality---which is your right.

I’m not planning to go off roading, or overlanding... I like to poop in a real bathroom not in a poop bag

60 - 92 is my temp range for sunrider or the top down. I bought mine in April and the top has only been up maybe 20% of the time.

I could tell you, but then....
No its not a jeep. But its mine (hunnys) and it is the King Mall Crawler. Shocks, brakes, exhaust, bumpers, lights, suspension, hell I dont even know what else the one mechanic who is allowed to touch it (4 hrs away ) has done so far and yeah it looks baha ready but he won't even allow it to be driven to publix, (someone might ding it), or to a restaurant (theres alcohol there, someone might really ding it) and LITERALLY the only place he has driven it lately was to Neiman Marcus, where he pays for valet, yet refuses to allow them to park it so he does and keeps the key. Mall Crawler. So damn frustrating.
Lesson... looks can be deceiving. The closer it gets to 120 the more of a mall crawler it becomes.
(Im so embarressed).

Totally agree! Why have all the rough bells and whistles if you dont enjoy them! I wouldnt buy a purse and stick it on the shelf.... It does go to publix now and to the Keys.... baby steps... I will get him to a some fun dirt trails one day!

Perfect! It’s a good start! In the meantime just keep showing him what you can do in the Jeep. If you throw out “I bet the Raptor can’t do that a few times” it might just push him over the edge...
