I'm with you. What part of building for your terrain is there to disagree with?

...you should definitely be building your rig for the types of terrain (and trails) you plan on doing. Building a capable rig for the PNW would likely result in a different build than building a capable rig for Moab or JV.
The discussion of why some things work better or worse than other things is very interesting to me.
I feel like there are certain overarching concepts that should carry through all builds, choosing an appropriate tire size, maximizing up travel and overall travel, balancing tire size with the ride height, good shocks, controlling movements. It's just a matter of degree and deciding how far you are willing to stay within the factory constraints.
The more I've learned over the years, the more I agree that LCoG unnecessarily throws things out of balance. There are well known builds that I thought were interesting early on, but now I have questions about some prominent design choices.
A mud build maybe a whole different arena. But that is a place I just have no interest in being a part of.

Better yet, what constitutes LCG and precisely what terrain does it work in barring trailering it to a flat track?I'm with you. What part of building for your terrain is there to disagree with?

When you spend the $$ where you can't see it or show it off, your on the right track!
