    That was kind of funny actually. They were just cruising along and then bam! Then they were super cautious after that. I get the idea that they thought it was going to be a cake walk up it until that happened. I still don't think that obstacle is all that hard, but I imagine our longer wheelbase makes it much easier for us.

    81% mod'd just by quick count of who i know is mod'd :cookiemonster:



    but i don't know all the trucks just by name...


    might be closer to 90+% though

    but not all are highly modified...mainly lift and tires

    low percentile...

    breaking shit and holding up people...most likely not

    you don't have to hit the hardest trails in moab...

    go out, explore, have a good time...you'd be amazed at what these things can do right off the showroom floor
