As Chris-Bob said we all own vehicles for a certain purpose. When I bought my Disco I had no intention of even trying such hardcore trails, I already have a rig thats built for that. Yes my blazer kicks *** off-road, but on road it wobbles, bucks, shimmies, shakes, wanders etc etc, thats why I wanted a comfortable yet fairly capable rig for on road........hence the Disco which fills that role very well. Besides, going "hardcore" all the time does get old, we brake stuff, spend hours going 1/2 a mile, eat gas, get covered in filth. Sometimes its nice to find a moderate trail and bring the wife and kids without throwing them around the cab all day. I will say that my buddies Disco on 39's goes where we go, but he's heavily modded it......heavily, I'll post a pic of it if I can.

Like I said sometimes the only way is either to turn around or go ahead, no "easy lines" "bypass trails" etc etc. I'm just speaking from experience, I live this **** every spring and summer.
Ok, ok...we will give you a couple of extra hole punches on your man card!

Blazer once again on 44's, the black truck behind it stuck is on 42's and locked in the rear. As you can see you cant go around unless you want to sink somewhere else off the "trail". We dont make new trails because we try to "tread lightly" which by the picture you might think is ironic, but we do keep to the trail 99% of the time to save the tundra.
