Hey,



I liked seeing some of the excursions, but pulling endless donuts in a school parking lot or on some lawn or field (unless your yard) is rather rude amd disrespectful. I am surprised someone did not help you with your over inflated tires.



Safe travels,



Ron

Dear Ron,

Apparently were formatting our replies like an email? Must be a boomer thing.

Yeah, gotta watch out for over-inflated tires, it's bad for treadwear. Thanks for looking out, dad.

Or were you threatening to slit my tires if you find out where I live? Just looking for clarification.

Sincerely,

The guy that drives like a dick

Should be interesting to see if the Timberline can do any better. I assume the bulk of the vehicle and its functional equipment is the same, other than some beefier all terrain tires and a bit more ground clearance.

I think the approach angles being better {bumper, exhaust} is gonna be the big things, and tires. These tires are horrendous for anything performance-oriented or anything in the dirt.

Agreed. I suppose that they could do something different with the terrain management stuff but short of a real 4x4 system it will probably never be anything spectacular.

If they don't get production on the warthog/raptor bronco soon I'll have to get a Timberline and will report back. Honestly, it's impressive for it being so out of its element. Easily as good as mid 2000s Subarus foresters off-road.

Hey,

Not a boomer.

No threat, just an observation. Your actions had no impact on my life, so more power to you.

Cheers,

Ron

Zero impact on your life, yet you feel the need to make an "observation" about slashing my tires. Got it.

Not a boomer?
Coulda fooled me with your considerable lack of proper quoting procedures.

I'm flattered! I am nowhere near monetization requirements, and have no ad revenue to speak of. This was money off of my family's dinner table. We haven't eaten all week.

Thanks! I think it's the best pic I've ever taken, honestly. Lol. I've got a few more angles at the flats I'll have to attach some high res stuff in the future.

As promised,
High res shots from the flats. Clicking the thumbnail *should* get you the full-res. 20201030_224510.jpg 20201030_224519.jpg 20201030_224812.jpg 20201030_224539.jpg 20201030_224832.jpg 20201030_225146.jpg 20201030_225038.jpg 20201030_225021.jpg 20201030_225002.jpg

I agree. First thing I thought of when I watched the video was my kids that are new drivers with an idiot on the road like this. All fine off road but when you risk others….not funny anymore.

Love how all the clowns with hurt feelings feel the need to come tell the op he’s an idiot. In true forum fashion

All those "clowns" are entitled to their opinion, just as you are. You seem to be the one with hurt feelings.

As a true Floridian I apologize for the antics of SOUTHFLST. He does not represent most Floridians. Making a comment about someone driving recklessly down a busy highway at 100++ mph does not make you a clown. It makes you responsible. We don’t need those kind of people on the road. Worse than a drunk driver. I’m cool with him destroying his vehicle but not risking destroying someone’s life.

You’re gonna be waiting a while. Glad my comments motivated you enough to comment though. Cute.
