no afence but i use to be able to lift wheels like that on my old ford courier it just didnt have lockers to keep it moving doesnt make it a great 4wd
i think the bigest factor is the driver i have seen very ordanry 4wds do some amazing things given the right driver and i have seen highly modified vehicles that cant do much because of the limitations of there driver
dont get me wrong same driver different cars it will be the car dut the driver is a major factor
i bet i could get quite a few jeeps from carparks and put them and there drivers up against a person that drives a subaru on dirt and farms every day and i know which would do better (of course none of the mentioned jeep drivers would be interested in this forum)but i hope you get what i mean the car and driver make the 4wd not the front end in most cases


and i would still rather push my jeep than drive a hummer
they only call them a hummer because "over priced show pony peice of sh#t" doesnt fit on the tailgate

Yes thats an IFS, just shows how little articulation they have, it is a video produced by a traction company, they are trying to show off their lockers, how better to do that than with an IFS vehicle that never has 4 wheels in touch with mother earth.

Anything with big wheels, very high torque diesel and lockers will do that, good articulation would have made it safer, easier and less likely to destroy the forest, as 4 wheels driving will always be better than 2

I would be really embarrassed if that was my Video...... The second that thing looks at a rut it runs out of wheel travel and try's to tip it self...

And x3 Wanker's for driving over Vegetation!!!

LAME!!!!!!!!
