If I'm not mistaken, the top pic is MossyRocks, and the bottom is SteveO's. I've seen vids of Steve's rig and it's pretty awesome. They look pretty comparable, but the truth is, a rig is only as capable as it's driver.

They're both stinkin' cool, thought...

agreed, I've taken my pretty much stock 93 IFS Up stuff locked and lifted CJ's couldn't get up. Most people I go wheelin with usually are impressed that my truck gets where it does. I usually tell them with some skill, a good spotter and the right lines I can get there!

anything can be 'capable', the first two pics show heavily modified rigs, i mean of course their going to be capable, just like any car can go fast, just depends on how much time and money you'd spend.

a better thread would of been, who is more capable with and sticks closes to factory and IFS. it would be more interesting to me anyway.

Then look at Steve Schaffers little red truck and thing is pretty close to stock and does great.


Agreed, with the two top photos both are very, very capable but alot depends on the driver as well.

But the jeep is trail rated! Toyota can't say that.

I like Brad's, It is sweet in person and to ride around in. I went to highschool with him (a couple yrs difference), he built my bumper and sliders, and i bought the arb out of that thing

You should see it now, it has a D60 in the rear, and beadlocks.
His next plans is to supercharger her, fuel cell, linked front (coilovers) and linked rear (coils), cut of the exo and do an inside cage, and duel cases with twin stick.

I like Ric's and it still maintains civility on the paved roads and looks great.
