I went to silver lake sand dunes today for the first time with the jeep.
I was sooooo surprised on how well the jeep did. Never got stuck where i needed a recovery. the jeep made it up every hill in the park (sometimes not on the first try)
16PSI in the tires (could have went lower) and slap her in 4 low and go, super fun.
I actually jumped the jeep TWICE and had it off the ground 2+ feet according to bystanders, ON ACCIDENT LOL(not trying to jump, just going a bit fast). funny how 4500 pounds leaves the ground so easily.
luckily after a day of flooring it, and jumping (lol =P) nothing at all broke. including the 180 miles both ways. very happy with the jeep, i had no clue she had it in her.
one thing though, as i was out doing f-150s, blzers, the standard 4x4s....a Pontiac Aztec showed up and appeared to be in stock condition and showed me up. I followed him to see the embarresment of him getting stuck, watched him climb a hill and thought wow, i took the same path and the sand stopped me. LOL it was NUTS
we took a raptor 700 (from dads work) our foreman 450, and our 200s (110 is a little sick, having some shifting issues) I didn't even touch the ATVs i was having so much fun in the jeep. later this summer we plan on taking the 110 and 250r, that will go in the trike section =)
