My god that looks like it was fun. I'd totally do it if i lived anywhere close.

Simple possibly stupid question though.... Are those Automatic or Manuel transmissions?

Pretty much a mix. More automatics than manuals though.
The problem is that on the rocks you feel like you need a third foot. I have a stick, but manage just fine. As a rule, people like to say that sticks are better for bogging in the mud, and automatics are better for rocks, thanks to their low torque conversion.

My theory is that you just need to gear the vehicle corectly, then if you have a low enough ratio your vehicle will basically just walk right up almost anything at just above idle. I plan on putting a throttle trigger on my stick, so that I can juice it that way if I'm stuck in a weird spot and letting my foot off the brake results in my dropping to my doom.

Looks like a lot of fun but at the same time costly. I'd be to worried about my ride doing stuff like that. It's all fun and games till I got dents and huge paint scratches, those among many other possible problems.

If someone were to take me in their rig then I'd go in a heart beat just for the experience.

Only crazy off road stuff I've been through/seen is mud wrestling with 4x4s and 4 wheelers out here in kansas. There's a small place near here about 20ish miles away where there is a huge mud lake people race around and plow through. I should take pictures next time i go.

There's been some cases where trucks have gotten stuck in the middle and it took several trucks to pull them out. I'm talking practically submerined trucks here. You never know where those sink holes are in the mud.

Anyways those pic's were cool. 8-)

So I'm looking at the pics and sitting here thinking 'That's be a beautiful area to hike through'. I do believe that thought means I have to turn in my testicles and start wearing a dress because I'm no longer a man.

The hell? Since when did hiking become a woman's pastime?

I love your jeep.

I was referring to the tendency to look at a picture full of testosterone inducing things like a jeep climbing rugged terrain and think 'Beautiful country. Shame the focus of the picture is on the jeep...'
