Yes sir....happens quite often.One of may favorite activities as a camper
after a spirited day off roading the new guy who the night before was running his mouth about how you and your old equipment might have a hard time keeping up........couldn't keep up
never fails, we get back to camp and they start looking for the secret weapon
what shocks are you running?

after the mental defeat, I will point out the aftermarket cage and harnesses to make them fell better
but will promptly take it away by pointing out the half bald OEM tires that have 12 seasons on them
Little off topic but humorous. About 20 or so years ago we were at Crawfords campground at tellico. O'l boy comes trailering in a pretty good looking square body. Gets unloaded and starts making his way around the campground talking shit.
He comes up with a few hey's and what not and then starts with the bullshit someone had told him to sell him the truck. He got it 2 weeks earlier. So he proceeds to tell us its on 6 lug tons, lockers, 8" lift on 40s. The guy beside me started to say something and I smiled and shook my head. The truck was maybe 20 yards away with an obvious 10 bolt front axle. Upon looking it over it's a 10/12 bolt, turbo 350 with a 205. He was correct it was sitting on 40s.
The next morning some of us head out to go up school bus. He falls in line about 3 rigs behind me. Once we start up (it's a decent little climb) and I hear someone behind me raping on it. Stop and walk back and it's him. I'll say one thing...that small block could turn some rpm
I thought about walking on down and informing him it'd do alot better if he locked the front hubs but, no one else was rushing in and I figured if I did, it was going to be a long day.
So after 4 or 5 wfo assaults he backed off, and turned around and headed back out.
Yeah, probably should have told him but if you're going to talk shit, you need to know the shit you're talking. 😆
Needless to say when we got back to camp, he'd loaded up and left. Oh well....hand me a beer. 🍻
