Smile What makes a 4x4, 4wd Unstoppable off road?

Hi guys only new to this stuff..

Just wondering what are the technical reasons that make a 4wd so good or bad in the rough stuff and why?

Thanks..

It dosn't matter what you drive stock or moddified locked or open , its 95% or more down to the driver as to weather you will have success , iv seen stock rigs get further or reach the top of a climb because the driver had a better feel for the trail than the guy with the big lift and lockers that was left spinning 4 wheels

Having a zero care factor: the less you care about your vehicle the further you can drive it

I think it is the other way too. The more your care about your jeep, the more uou know about it, the further you can go without breaking it... too much. :what:
