So AZ I read your post and all I could think was... "idiot". Sure those were poser shots... That does not change the fact that I did drive Rattle Snake. You have often complained about exhaust location... I agree, however I am sitting 3 1/8 higher than stock. What do you expect to see in pictures? The picture where I was doing a rear dr side wheel stand isnt something some one would just drive down on just to make every one think he drove a trail... The other where I am off camber... it is hard to see but I am actually lifting a wheel a hair while making good use of my RRO rock slider!!! Sure it was a little crazy that I drove it on the trail but accept the fact that I did!!!!

I’ll play your childish game for a second or two…

First, you call me an idiot, that gives away your intellectual level and maturity right off the bat.  Maybe, just maybe, when you mature you'll acquire the social skill of how to disagree with someone without resorting to childish name calling.  Second, my post was an opinion, nothing less, nothing more.  I'm entitled to that.  If you don't agree fine, but leave the childish name calling at home.   



So, I never called you an idiot... I merely posted what came to mind when I read your post. As for judging my intellectual level and maturity... well that sounds like a sudo-intellectual defense to me. I replied to your post because You directly or indirectly were insulting me and suggesting that I "staged" and lied about doing a trail in my GV. You can think what you will, you can even attempt to insult me by calling attention to my intellectual level and my maturity level and even point out that you feel I have a short attention....

span.... 

You state almost any truck/suv could do the same...  What I want to point out is that you used the phrase "almost any" If the GV is as bad offroad as you suggest wouldn't you have put EVERY truck/ suv can do that. but this isnt a question of the vehicle so much as a question of with a good driver could someone successfully wheel the GV in areas that would be challenging for it?
This is not my trail rig, it is a vehicle which I bought for family trips, to use as a work vehicle, and our all-arounder that if we found ourselves at the end of a road, we could keep going and not have to turn around.
Come to 5 mile pass, zUkTAH and I will be more than happy to show you Rattle Snake and Constrictor.
Not for the sake of saying you can't do it... just to show you the trail. When they rate trails... it is an overall rating... There were too many people on the trail for me to want to get the whole thing on film.
I could post more pics of the trail since you assumed that the whole trail is the same as you saw...





I could counter so many more of your points...
Ever meet more than 1 adult that called someone a name before? More than 3?



As for your closing... I like how you try once more to put yourself on a pedistool by shifting responsability and placing ownership on me by stating the way of being youy are refering to is "my level", then after  that you say sorry. I doubt that you meant it...

I drove a trail in my gv that is rated a 3+{sometimes refered to as 3.5) trail, anything tougher would be scary in my GV. I would not attempt to do anything tougher than that in the GV. That is why I own a samurai... Would you like to tell me how awfull my samurai is next?

Welcome to the site!!! I think that Suzuki still makes something that could hang with the wrangler... but we don't get it in the states!!!!

Brands aside.... The best trail rig is the one that gets you over an obstacle!!!! And I like my samurai for that!!!
