Edit to add: I guess if you consider the fact that I like to go offroading (two tracking) hiking and camping away from other people and that being one of the primary reasons I got the truck and the Jeep then yeah it still falls under a lifestyle choice.
Can't see your photo. I understand the whole outdoorsy thing because I go camping, hiking, biking too, but most people who drive trucks (around here) rarely use them off the pavement. I can't think of a single campsite I've been to that I couldn't drive to in my lowered VW.

It doesn't seem to matter anyway, because the OP's listed location, Azle, TX, seems from Google Street View to be flat as a cracker. No mountain trails for him.
