Jeeps rule!

Today's four-wheelin' adventures finally confirmed my long-standing suspicion --- Jeeps rule! Heck, this is even my daughter's jeep -- I mean it's basically bone-stock. It's been rode hard and put away wet -- a few things stripped off of it -- but no major build-up -- and -- look at this baby climb. Sure, it's a bit of a poser shot and it did require a fair bit of "hands-on" spotting, so to speak. But seriously -- do you think any of you guys could do this in your FJ Cruiser. Don't get me wrong -- I still love my FJ, but this Jeep is in a whole other league...

Re: Jeeps rule!

*grin* It's not as bone-stock as you make it out to be. Oversized tires, Bull bar and a lift.

I don't think Barbie paint was a stock color.

Re: Jeeps rule!

one wrong move and that's a hell of a drop. Hope it doesn't land on the house.

don't worry, with the right spotter even that descent can be made to look easy in a jeep.

Re: Jeeps rule!

The purple teflon tires are the big difference maker in a situation like you show in the picture. I have seen them used to climb a couple of the worst obsticals one could ever encounter. Yep! you guessed it... A couple of wet, dirty, giant bert and ernie dolls! Is there anything they cant do?
