Kasper falls far from your group of mall crawler friends. He's got plenty of pics on here to prove it (even if I *DO* give him **** about his "invisible trailer" every chance I get :P ).

What's with the Durango and Dakota stuff over on this side, anyway?

Honestly, I've been in some pretty awesome spots and never lifted a vehicle. I've been in spots in my stock 4x4 Bronco that my buddies lift 07 Ram Hemi couldn't go because his wheels were just too wide or his wheel base was too long to be practical with its height.
This was a regular comment on Tacoma boards back when I had my Taco around '02-ish. It's even more prevalent on Jeep boards. There's definitely truth to it, but anyone with any sense knows what they've got in a vehicle and won't try and fit a full-size truck where a Wrangler barely fits.

Despite his ghost trailer and somewhat questionable frame strengthening, Kasper does put his money where his mouth is.

I'm not so sure why this is turning into a **** contest.

I stated I have respect for the ones who lift their trucks and use it for their intended use. And laugh at the ones who are posers.

So what's the problem here?
