[QUOTE="Fordzuki, post: 1077971, member: 17662"] After reading through this thread, I have to add my 2 cents on the whole discussion. First off, I don't think lesser built or overbuilt rigs are the problem, it's all in the drivers of these rigs and how they go about getting through the trails. I've seen sammis on 30s go places tjs on 35s couldn't. Again, it had nothing to do with the rigs, it was all about the driver. I've also been held up on the trail more by guys with big tires breaking stuff, than guys with little tires getting stuck. So to put a minimum "required" tire size on any trail is, I think a little overboard. A minimum "recommended" tire size may be more appropriate. Again, the damage to our trails has nothing to do with the size of tires, or how well built a rig is, it's the inconsiderate assholes who don't know how to wheel and use the skinny pedal and front bumper to make up for it. The point is, everyone has to start somewhere when wheeling. It should be up to them to determine what their rig is capable of doing and knowing where that limit is. This is the basis of the whole "skill building" aspect of wheeling. If all you ever do is wheel trails that people tell you you're capable of wheeling, then where is the challenge? Isn't that part of wheeling? The challenge of it? The problem arises when people don't know when to call it quits or let their ego get the best of them and try to get through a trail come hell or highwater, when they should really just turn around build their skills a little more.
