Heh..yeah right. It'll do great until you go through the first water crossing and short out the electronics. Or they actually take it over some rocks and get the center sections of the IFS (front and rear right?) hung up. Plus...doesn't that thing weigh ~5000lbs.? Where's the COG?  |
Yep, front and rear IS. It is equipped with air gizmos to raise the vehicle if it gets high centered. Again, I'd have to see it to believe it. And even if it did work, it's just one more high tech disaster waiting to happen out on the trail.
IIRC, they said the center diff is auto-locking as well. So now, one can't even decide for themselves when to lock the diff. No thanks. Give me a simple, capable machine to take into the ugly stuff. If I can't fix it on the trail, I don't want it along.
