i like the commercial with the jeep power wheels that are taking the trail rated test. what the heck kind of obstacles do they tackle? the "off brand" tackled the mud, and if the kid new what he was doing, he could have gotten out of it, but atleast he "put a little mud on the tires"(good brad paisley song btw, though he drives a chevy in the song)

No, no, no... seriously - only Jeeps are trail rated. Really!

You better get rid of that nasty worthless 4Runner. I'll be a nice guy and take it off your hands for $1K

I think someone should design a sticker like the jeep one that says "Trail Proven"

I would but I really stink at designs...

Its not $2500.99 just for the sticker. Geez, shows what you know. You also get some "trail rated" tow hooks so people can recover you when you get stuck.

Just make sure if a jeep is pulling you out sometime, that he doesn't have a camera, or you will be the butt of the joke on a jeep forum.
