Hey everyone, been lurkin, then commenting, finally ready to write and contribute some. Las Vegas jalop, transplanted from the midwest and Florida. Frequent C&C, car clubs, events, and try to snap pics of whatever I see cruising the streets. Curently driving an '11 GT Mustang with bolt ons and a '99 TJ Wrangler head-to-toe kitted out for rock crawling. Both manuals. I DD the Mustang and use and abuse both on the weekends. Rock crawling, camping, prerunning, drift days, auto X, track days, etc. For proof I present the following pictures. Looking forward to contributing more to the site and will write up more about my cars and their adventures in the coming days.
The Garage, tight fit but at least they stay safe:
Red Rock Canyon Loop with a buddy (before new wheels/tires), a drive I highly suggest taking if you ever visit
Track day at Spring Mountain (private resort/track) in Pahrump, NV
And an "OH SHIT" moment offroad. Fell into a V crack crawling up the hill, flipped her right back over, it buffed out.
EDIT ADD:
Moments before the tip when I lost sight of the spotter
Also a fan of mud (Full size spare in the backseat, day i got them on)
LAST EDIT:
Found 1 more of the tip from down below:

Finally! A Jeep that's lifted with big tires that someone actually uses for off road. 1,000,000 points!

More accurately, a Jeep with a moderate lift and tires just big enough to do that job.
See so many people with huge lifts and 40" super swampers that can't do anything without their truck rolling over. Bonus points for blocks and/or body lifts.

Red Rock Canyon loop. Been there several times. (My avatar is a pic from the loop)

4" of suspension and 33" tires. Would def have liked 35" but without upgrading to Dana 44's decided I didn't want to put extra stress on the engine/drivetrain

Thank you. It's so much fun. Got it used for less than a loaded Civic Si. They really aren't that bad

I've got roughly a 3" lift on my truck and about the largest tires I can fit before they start rubbing on the frame when turned. Apart from a few high-centers, I've never really had a problem.

Pahrump. Isn't that where the Chicken Ranch Brothel is? Anyway, took a Canadian female friend there cause she wanted to get a souvenir. When we walked in, I told the receptionist? that "my friend here would like to apply for a job" Total smack to the head. But, laughs were had by all.

It's all you really need for sane stuff. I've seen those buggies go up stuff I couldn't even walk/climb up, but then they tell me they've got 100k+ in them. It's fun but not that fun haha

There are a couple famous brothels there. Have never visited them. That does sound like a head smack moment though lol

In regards to 40" and super lift bro trucks/jeeps. Next time at the stop light try yelling out "Nice truck, sorry about your penis"...they really like that

Substitute "people HERE" for just about anywhere. Those pics of you "yeep' did not show up before. Glad you drive it. Welcome to Oppo.

Welcome! Nice rides. Last time I was out there I did the Red Rock loop in a Hummer with low-profile tires. It was not a sporty experience.

Nice Jeep and Stang!
Thank you for posting pictures of you actually wheelin your Jeep on a real trail, not some dirt road and then say you wheel the crap out of it. Seriously, thank you. I wheel a Tacoma and the bro-trucks make me sick.
+100 points for liking mud, I like mud too.

Right on, thanks. Fun as hell, but impossible to find mud in the desert. Glad people seem to enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoy getting the Jeep in em. Maybe I'll post some more crawling pictures today

Sweet, looking forward to more pictures. I've recently moved to Colorado from Texas and joined a 4x4 club, most of em despise mud, haha. I love being on a trail where a section has just become a mud pit. Not on purpose, of course, tread lightly. :)

About half my Jeep club is dgaf. Pedal to the metal, pin it to win it, let's try to climb this till it breaks. The other half won't take their tops or doors off cause the inside might get dirty...different strokes for different folks I guess
