I read some of this string. Alot of what the original poster said was opinon, and he was right about the 4wd knob. But why did he leave all the substantial improvements out? All the class leading stats? Or tell us what he is comparing it to? I Cant think of a single rig to compare it to for wheeling, in an SUV. BUT, the hand brake was his downfall, as that shows a total lack of 4x4 knowledge. Foot style parking brakes are stupid for a 4x4!
