Overrated off-road products

ep191 · 11-19-2008, 11:41 PM

I dont think i have seen this kind of thread yet, so basically post up your opinions of overrated off road products. I have seen threads of absolutely awful products but what im looking for is things that are known by the majority of people to be great but really arent once you buy them.

Alright for my contribution i basically made this thread because i think super swamper boggers are absolutely wayyyyyyyyyyyy overrated. Maybe good in slop, but other than that i think they are completely useless.

yep, super swamper boggers are specific purpose designed (swamp slop) and that's where they do best.

other over-rates, well if it weren't for the fact that i understand how mine works and have learned when and where to use it, it'd mention the hi-lift jacks that everyone loves to curse.

Thats because they are called BOGGERS. A bog is a mud hole. thats what they are made for. They are terrain specific

True. and bottle openers and pretty much useless too. they may be good for opening bottles, but otherwise they aren't good for much.

I filed mine down and use it to slash boggers!

For <= 2" suspension lifts, a rear track bar relocator is over-rated.
Additionally, drop pitman arm for most short arm lifts.

Yea i see what you all are saying, but i cant tell you how many times i see them on rigs that see much more rocks and trails than just mud, many times ive even seen them grooved and cut on serious rock crawling buggies. I agree with you all on the fact that they are a very good terrain specific tire, but my point was that they are interpereted as one of the best all around off road tires such as a TSL, IROK, etc. and in my opinion they are not.

Lockers, lifts, big tires...

Yes they are good in swamp slop, but im sure you can also name thousands of competition buggys that are sporting tsl sx's and iroks that never see an ounce of mud. My post was about boggers specificly, not all super swampers.
