When Top Gear US ran their "Monument to Moab" episode, I kept grumbling that I'd done far worse roads in an Atom, which has approximately no ground clearance.

Notice all the guardrails and 1000-200 foot drop offs! The last couple of miles were relatively flat, but had very bad washout in a few spots.
We had to stop 4-5 times, get out of the Rabbit, and figure out what would be out path for the next 35-50 feet to get through rock wash. (repeatedly scraping the undercarriage.
We had no business being there in a Rabbit. I grew up driving in the woods around reservoirs in northwest NJ. Rule #1 was ALWAYS don't go along, Caravan with vehicles with tow ropes and winches.
I broke rule #1 in an area that could have killed us
