but in short, i won't be joining your forum due to complete hatred toward our kind here. i know every board has some dickheads (even some here) but there seems to be an abundance "over there".

Simple solution to at least some of the problem: get the two groups together for some wheeling.
It's alot harder to dislike people you've actually wheeled with (unless they are jerks there too).....usually though, it just stems from ignorance of the other people's vehicles. Once they figure out that people are basically the same regardless of what they drive, they're fine.
I'm going to try and plan a hummer, fj, jeep, whatever run in AZ in the near future. I hope some of you will want to come out and have a good time meeting people and wheeling with other rigs to see how they work. Life would be damn boring if we all drove the exact same thing. Besides, I know I've learned alot by watching different vehicles and different mods to those vehicles....you guys are no different.
Happy trails.
