This was the first time for the passenger in a 4WD. He called it wild.
A little out of focus but you get the idea.

I stopped for the photo and this is the quality I get.
Driving over the top had a high pucker factor.

Well I wouldn't say any of these positions are places other vehicles wouldn't touch, but I'd say it's more a testament to a solid vehicle that can be wheeled hard for years and still be reliable and still feel put-together.

Here's a few pics when I had my '97...

I don't think it's any more tippy, I think it's just that you have a led foot and it never mattered in the '91. Do you have sliders and bumpers on the '94 yet? That might be part of it - more weight down low.

Yep. You have good eyes. That is a jeep. My old jeep. You're right.. it couldn't flex worth shet..., but sure could run the hammer trails in Johnson Valley.. just fine

In that pic, your seeing a glimpse of what happened in a matter of 3 sec. I was a sneeze away from flopping it.. so i threw it in reverse and they snapped a pic just as i did.

Actually, I was referring to off-road capability, albeit rocks, mud, hills, etc.
