Re: your thoughts needed...
 

But that's because of driving ability (and big nads).

No doubt it can be done, but you have to admit that a properly locked/geared
Jeep will go the more difficult places slower and safer.

Been there, seen that.

Re: your thoughts needed...
 

LOL!

I do agree ability makes a big difference.

I have been off roading every vehicle I have owned since the early 70's
and have put many a serious 4x4 to serious shame when they tried to
follow me in an Austin Mini on snowmobile trails and on logging roads.

Man passing snowmobiles in a race on the outside of the corners is a
trip and a half, especially when the sled drivers just toss their hands
in the air and give up as I am zapping them in a 4 wheel drift around
the corner....

Still.....

If I can put the modified boys to shame with a stock CJ7, then maybe
driver training is more required than expensive parts...?????

I have only once had a Jeep beat me on an ice hill climb.

It was snowboardripper from this newsgroup and he walked up an ice wall
I had to winch up and had to winch everyone except him up.

It was cool, He hit the top and his arm came out the window raised
yelling 'cool, I beat Mike Romain up a climb!'

No one else has done that in the 4 years I have owned my CJ7....

That 'was' cool.....

Re: your thoughts needed...
 

LOL!

I do agree ability makes a big difference.

I have been off roading every vehicle I have owned since the early 70's
and have put many a serious 4x4 to serious shame when they tried to
follow me in an Austin Mini on snowmobile trails and on logging roads.

Man passing snowmobiles in a race on the outside of the corners is a
trip and a half, especially when the sled drivers just toss their hands
in the air and give up as I am zapping them in a 4 wheel drift around
the corner....

Still.....

If I can put the modified boys to shame with a stock CJ7, then maybe
driver training is more required than expensive parts...?????

I have only once had a Jeep beat me on an ice hill climb.

It was snowboardripper from this newsgroup and he walked up an ice wall
I had to winch up and had to winch everyone except him up.

It was cool, He hit the top and his arm came out the window raised
yelling 'cool, I beat Mike Romain up a climb!'

No one else has done that in the 4 years I have owned my CJ7....

That 'was' cool.....
