Depends on what kind of Chevy we are talking about?


And last time my Mother-in-Law was in town visiting, she borrowed my Cherokee to drive around while she was here...................She's my boys' grandmother..............So, YES......................They are!

Should of told them you won't be pulling them out when they get stuck then. Pulling contests are dumb.

I do know for a fact, there are a bunch of trails here in Colorado that you wouldn't dare take a full-size Chevy up...................They either don't fit, or they get hung-up underneath...................


Z-71 FTW!................














For the record...................He got yanked off the rocks by a Jeep.........


As far as Mud-bogging......................The one with the biggest tires, and the most horsepower usually wins...............


I don't mud-bog....................I HATE mud..................
Cleaning it out with the pressure-washer makes a huge mess, and takes forever!

Yet 4.0Ls often win because of our favorable torque curve. It's fun

Same here in Maryland/PA. I've watched full size trucks navigate sections of trails in reverse because they don't fit between two trees somewhere along the way

Got it stuck playing in a field while it was raining... For the record not my fault. My friend was driving his AWD wj and almost slid into me so I swerved to avoid him... Right into a mud hole.

Burned in my stiffeners. Probably the least favorable thing I've done to this jeep. It sucks welding to the unibody. But the gains are awesome and now I'm not scared to weld my ruff stuff long arm hanger on it.

Are your wheels made of Teflon?

Installed new Polk marine speakers in my front doors to go with a retro sound head unit. Passenger door speaker wire was broken apparently. I bypassed the connectors and ran a new wire through the door boot using a clothes hanger. I think it was easy relative to trying to find the break and splice most likely needing to remove the boot.

There's no shame in getting pulled out by a Truck....................


New Years Day, I got pulled out of a snow drift by a Toyota...................
Then I returned the favor when he tried to go through the same snow drift, and got stuck............

very very rarely.... My parents get very upset with me when I take it offroad.... I'm sure they'll find out some how and I'll get in trouble....
