You guys ready? Ok here we go...and here's the deal. I do enjoy this board. I enjoy some of the banter and the loose way it's moderated. It's why I don't post on FR2. That place is boring. However, FRF allows some of the Gen I guys to post up in this section and absolutely wreck the place with their posts berating the Gen II. For some of the guys the hate runs deep for the Gen II, for others they're just talking shit which is totally fine with me. Sometimes deciphering intention is difficult though.
When somebody who owns a Gen I posts in this section ******' and moanin' about the new one, discounting the engine, the aluminum and anything and everything else including the owners or potential owners...foamers etc; what do you think the response is going to be? I will (and so many others) throw it right back at ya by doing the exact same thing. Some of you think that you're entitled to beat down on the new guys because they haven't been here as long, haven't earned their stripes, don't subscribe to what Gen I guys like, the V8 and all that other horseshit. I don't and will never subscribe to that sentiment. Its an internet board for chrissakes. Some of you think FRF requires initiation similar to the Mongols lol.
Progress can sometimes **** people off when it doesn't go the way they had hoped. Sure I wish the Gen II had a V8 too, but it doesn't. So freakin' what, it's a bad ass truck. I'd argue that most who's hearts are filled with seething hatred for the Gen II have no experience in either riding in one or driving one. I suppose hearing the exhaust tone on a youtube clip is enough to make a decision that it's not for them. But to post in the section dedicated to the Gen II all the time about how much they hate it and possibly the owners....I don't know it just seems really odd to me....
Blood in, blood out....
Honestly, credit where credit is due. Good post.
