just keep it in 4 low. drive with two feet, and go slow. rocks are a lot less unforgiving than mud. a lot harder too lol

this is what 235/75's and 3.5" lift can do

thats cause with your long wheel base, you scrap on everything. including mud. remember bowie state? it was like following a steam roller. every thing was smooth :P

LWB and sagging suspension. It doesn't matter how long your wheelbase is, though, if you come down on something too tall. Most of my worries stem from the lack of replacement parts for the MJ. There's a reason I wasn't afraid to damage the XJ.

agreed. but a shorter wheel base will help negate landing on top of crap.

Thank you, sir! It's been a productive day in the hour I've been awake. Time for a Sam Adams, and then breakfast.

Last time I was out there were a few erosion control devices, in other words logs stacked across the trail in a mound to divert water, I scraped a few and in the video my buddy was shooting you hear it scrape and then me yell "momentum baby" lol

I like Dunkelweizen much better, but it just isn't the same here as it is in Germany.
