Final answer for rock crawling? 4 door!

[swooshdave]

After watching this video there's no way I'd want a 2 door. I mean can you imagine having to ask for help to get down the rocks?



I'll wait for the inevitable rebuttal of a video showing a 4 door needing help. Come on, I know someone has one.

I have no interest in taking my own rid down anything like that, LOL.
Maybe a special built rig like some rock buggy, but I'll never own one of those.

I didn't care too much for that drop next to the cliff so I took the line to the drivers left. It's more off camber and a little tricky, but you are not dropping off the waterfall next to the cliff.

How many 2 doors have flipped there? Apparently enough.

I'm still trying to imagine driving a brand new $50K Bronco through the rocks and beating the crap out of it.
Not everyone is rock crawling for good reason.

There is absolutely nothing about rock crawling that looks fun to me.

It's a multi-purpose vehicle. You'll find something to do with it.

Absolutely! Plenty of off-road fun to be had without scraping off your rear bumper on sheer drops. That sound gives me the shakes.

For some crowds the scrapes and scratches are a badge of honor.

For every instance like this there are 10 more where a 4dr drags belly on a hump that a 2dr gets over fine.

I've seen all of those. That Corvair is a monster!

Also seeing a four door Prius get stuck on some rocks doesn't count.

Just one video is all I was asking for.

If you pay attention, many of the four doors had a strap to assist them also.

Every wheel base has its advantages and disadvantages, nothing is perfect in every situation.

Here is an excellent example. 4dr gets high centered and 2dr walks right past.
