I have owned countless 4x4s, and honestly, I think my Gladi Rubi with much higher clearance and front and rear lockers could go right through that. It might not get stuck over and over again, which apparently is the test, but I wouldn't get stuck in that.

Most would never believe but I’ve taken Range Rovers on sponsored Land Rover outings up passage ways and crevices that Wranglers nor Gladiators would touch and could not follow. And the Land Rover family was waiting with open arms Monday morning because something ALWAYS broke !

I know there are things a jeep can do, but I’m concerned about maintenance and durability of these new models.

Also, on these sponsored Land Rover rides they would pick a hill from hell that ended up in a creek bed of solid rock. My wife would never do this she would get out. At the top of the hill you take your foot off the gas and brake and the machine’s hill decent control would do its thang and you could stop before the creek.

EVERY OTHER VEHICLE NOT A LAND-ROVER WENT INTO THE CREEK AND CAUSED BODY AND SUSPENSION DAMAGE, GAME OVER !

Its not all about a pot metal solid axle.

Yeah 35" mud tires vs. 32" street tires; 13" of clearance vs 9" of clearance; front and rear lockers versus open diffs on both axles; etc. ....

Thats funny has hell but even the defenders or old axled disco couldn’t do these rides. Only the center coupler versions.

Like I said, they work if you can keep them running.

This is a great point if someone is logging extensive miles. I drive 55,000+ miles a year and have had two Toyotas over the years. Both were great vehicles, but both were tough on the driver. The lefs being straight out all the time is a killer. I will take a 1/2 ton of any manufacturer over a Tacoma due to the miles I drive.

Sponsored LR rides! The pro-LR results are Amazing! I will take on anything LR has with it's urban ghetto low-profile tires that are prone to wheel damage without any auto-hill-descent. That's retarded. Hill decent control. Lol. So, all the super mud and rock crawling professionals can't do their work without the Land Rover hill descent technology?

At least now I know to scratch your advice off my list. I’ve been there done that friend. I’ve watched rigs locked and cocked from 4wheel parts and other off road shops around the central Texas area try what you claim funny man. It was a learning experience for all.

I’ve seen Subaru go up iced mountain roads that a locked and cocked jeep couldn’t touch. Jeeps have their place and I want to like them. I just ain’t sure about them anymore. When there just ain’t and improved surface or trail, a jeep excels. Problem is most folk drive improved surfaces or used 2 tracks

What would happen to the short street tires on a LR when it was doing this? Bang! Wheel damage.

Magnify that by 300 and put a steep crevice where only two tires are hitting and you’ll almost imagine the ride up. The tires did not blow, why I don’t know. Land Rover rides did show me that tires ain’t as important as traction control technology
