      We have a Dodge Ram pickup and we use it to tow a trailer with old 1942 jeep on it. We would not want to waste it going over jeep roads like Imogine. Too long of a wheel base. Too much twisting. Too high and tippy especially with our tent camper on it which makes it possible for us to go to all these Colorado Jeep roads.

      Yes especially in places like Moab with my son's new Rubicon Gladiator. We did it last time over engineer, pass in old 1942 jeep and it was so much less bumpy than when we did it without air down tires. My youngest son is Jeep Tour guide in Moab at Outlaw Adventures and he will not go on the trail without airing down. He has a special tool that let's you being the air down to the desired pressure easily by screwing it into the interlude air outlet.

      Was wondering about the clearance for the roof on that “Tunnel” section. Turning radius, break over and departure differences to our 179’s is a handicap. I’m not sure I’ll take my 170 4x4 on ANY shelf roads. Pucker factor 11! Looking forward to seeing where this van goes after mods and additional weight is added. Especially if he puts a pop top on it.
