have been up a few decently steep hills now with no problem. The biggest problem is going over the erosion humps cos it scrapes quite often, and I have to go a lot slower than I would in the TJ (have got lazy over the years).

Comments - that would be novel! Some of the guys with me are probably more qualified to comment. I just drive.

The car went really well. On the sand, it went up and down every sand dune that was put in its way. The car got us out of any trouble that the driver got us into!

And this weekend, we did some 'C' grade tracks - more than a dirt track, but no body should really need the winch.

I do agree that we need a little lift, but if you choose the correct (easiest) line, then the car has the power to get up/down. We towed the van in ease and comfort, then got to some nice views that AWD's could not get to.

Good buy in my opinion

I noticed the tow hitch was up quite high and out of the way.
Don't know how many times my grand's hitch has grated the track.

Yes, it is out of the way and I didnt hit it once. But the down side is that it is almost impossible to change the tow hitch - the little bar thing is hidden behind the plastic bumper bar etc. Almost the worst thing about the car!

I've found you get better at it with a bit of practice, but is easiest to do lying on your back under the car, which can be a problem at times.

Photos look great. Looks like you might have been touching the plastic sill guard a couple of times
