Looks real to me. Did you see that clip of the rover jumping the other day. I'll try to dig it up.

Take a look at this video from a recent 4x4 competition in Venezuela:

These are great videos. Not sure why I didnt see any Rovers... I saw jeeps (XJs and CJs), broncos, and a kazillion cruisers. I wonder if this is a testament to what racers prefer to run...

Later

That picture doesn't do that spot justice. There are huge "spikes" or rocks along that section.

Joe's 80's front and rear bumpers are all custom. In fact, Joe's the guy who inspired me to be "different". I learned a lot from him when I had just the 100. He taught me that larger size on AZ trails is a disadvantage. After going on many runs I dicovered he was correct.

I'd see the decked out 80's sneak some lines the 100 couldn't. Then, I'd see Joe sneak lines the other 80's (ARB, Kaymar, Slee, etc) couldn't even try. I decided when I got my 80 I too would be aggressive.

Joe (and I) have cut our front and rear frames and fab'd bumpers. I got a little more aggressive and cut them as far as possible and didn't add a tire carrier. I now have angles greater than even Joe's 80.

Joe added that large silver skid plate to protect the front. I added a steel plate to protect the condenser.

Lastly, Joe removed his flares and that has allowed him to squeeze through trails a regular 80 cannot. I'd like to do the same, though Becky says no. Since she doesn't ask for much so she wins on this one.

There isn't a trail alive that stops Joe. Not even ELVIS here in AZ (pic)
