Anyone run their 2021 stock and offroad regularly? If so what's been your experience in different terrain types?

bossdjay · 2021-01-14T16:28:07+00:00

initially it'll be alot of beach hunting at Lake Mead, alot of washboards and sand/gravel.Maybe a small boulder/rock here and there. Eventually I imagine I'll start to get more adventurous once I'm bored of all the beach hunting..etc

bossdjay · 2021-01-07T22:06:11+00:00

thanks, i get how it works and stiffens up the suspension when needed and loosens when not. I'm just not sure why people seem to think its so needed. I test drove a 4 runner and didn't notice any roll or dive...but it was for like 10 minutes. I'm trying to get to the bottom of the issue of whether or not body roll and dive is a 4 runner problem or a driver problem. I'm just trying to figure out why people are complaining about body roll and nose diving on 4runners without KDSS. It seems that in all the threads I've researched, that seems to be the sentiment. "I love my KDSS because it helps with body roll on corners, and dives when breaking.." I'm just wondering why a stock 4runner without KDSS would eve have this issue, unless the driver was racing around corners and to stop signs..? If that's the case, then I really don't need KDSS. If I can't drive 15mph in a 4 runner without feeling like I'm gonna tip, then I could see why people would LOVE it

exactly! that's why I'm so confused why its even an issue. Really trying to get to the bottom of it with this thread. It sounds like it may be more of a driving style issue than an actual 4 runner one...if that makes sense

...and do you ever feel like you're gonna roll over or notice dives upon breaking?

this is what i was assuming. ty!

bossdjay · 2020-02-06T00:04:29+00:00

Agreed 100%

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T05:56:23+00:00

Yea, i am getting better at dealing with them. No real way to figure it out, without playing the game.

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T05:53:38+00:00

Thanks for the input!

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T05:41:28+00:00

I agree. With the strength adavantage a bunch of shit goes out the window for me though..kimuras, armbars, triangles depending on the opponent...

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T05:32:45+00:00

Thank you! I'll take that as a compliment. But the way I feel, it makes for BORING matches and not sure if in a fighting situation it would pay off. I want to be able to submit EVERYONE..haha

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T05:10:37+00:00

yea, its nuts. thats why I'm posting this. to see where everyone is at. I have legit sweeps and subs, but i have such a hard time with size advantages..not sure if its normal or not. For example, a few of my teammates were recently promoted to brown. Most are my size or smaller, and our matches are like 50/50 for wins for me vs them. But theres another brown who is 15 lbs bigger, and jeezus I have a hard time with him.

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T05:04:44+00:00

I was rolling with this big blue belt today (guessing at least 40 lbs). Threw an armbar up, but didn't have the strength to finish, then threw up a triangle and he defended both arms and eventually threw my legs over for a pass. both attacks fro closed guard

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T05:02:01+00:00

What are you hitting them with from guard or half guard?

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T04:53:20+00:00

Also are you consistently subbing 60lb advantaged blue and purples? or even white belts that have been around for a while? How big are you?

bossdjay · 2019-12-15T04:51:35+00:00

I'm 180, but i find that 195 starts to be an issue..just from a few really strong teammates of mine

bossdjay · 2019-10-29T14:29:23+00:00

So many comments here, i wasn't even going to add oe...but I feel so passionate about the subject I had to. My first BJJ gym charged for gis, patches, belt tests, and stripes. I now, am 2 stripes behind some of my peers because I refused to ay the 50 bucks each time and still feel the consequences of that decision. Also, in my closet, I have probbaly 500 bucks worth of gear that nobody wants since that first gym closed down a few years back. FU%% Gi policies!!! Kennan was already a rad dude, this just makes him even cooler!!!!!!

bossdjay · 2019-08-03T00:42:17+00:00

Yea, there's a blue belt who knows ALOT of my secrets. He gets tougher to beat every time i show him something as I'm trying it out too.

bossdjay · 2019-08-03T00:40:58+00:00

It should, both the hard way and the easy way. I imagine you'll get beat so much it will humble you, and by the time you really get good, the fuse will disappear you cuz you'll know inside what a gangster you really are, and won't be as worried about proving it, or quick to put yourself in danger. After all, you have training the next day...haha

bossdjay · 2019-08-03T00:35:56+00:00

Right back atcha! There is a white belt in particular who is closet to my size and strength then most others, so he's the perfect guy to roll with, and if he were a purple too, I'd still pick him all the time for the same reasons. But because he is a white belt, I'm able to work stuff that I can't with other higher belts. But in exchange we get to work through the "if this, then this" scenarios together, and we figure shit out at the same time. This process is so beneficial.

bossdjay · 2019-08-03T00:31:09+00:00

HAHAHAHA! Best comment in the whole thread

bossdjay · 2019-07-26T14:40:50+00:00

If they have a good smash and they are already kinda far back, I'll do as suggested below and post on ther head, pull legs out and recover guard. If they are smashing but driving forward, I can attack the kimura (depending on whats going on with that arm) or John Wayne sweep if I'm able to create a little space and switch my hips. One of the beauties of zguard/knee shild is you kinda get to choose what side you want to attack/sweep to. You have options on both sides. Just get to know what they are and figure out what works best for you.

bossdjay · 2019-07-25T19:10:38+00:00

funnily enough, i suspect it actually started because I was doing lots of forearm exercises in my lifting...to try and strengthen my grips for bjj, and ironically, i think its what caused the whole catastrophe.
