I'd love to see the footage from the vehicle behind you!

Looks like fun!

Yeah I know, for sure next time I will put a camera on the guy in front of me and the guy behind me!

It was fun, it is amazing what it can do.

I even got to use my winch to pull the guy in front of me off of a big rock he got stuck on! Got him off of it and he made it around it, then I straddled it and drove right over it!

Most of those guys I was with were hardcore Jeep guys, they were all pretty impressed.

I wish I used my G like this at least once in its lifetime
Is amazing how easly it goes over the rocks, and I bet it could do even worst terrain than this.

Fantastic video. Wonder how a stock g55 would hold up. There was a rock there at abot 2:20 I'm pretty sure would have some not so nice things to say to my under body!

Yeah I went right over that thing on purpose just because I knew I could with the Portal's!

Every other vehicle in the group had to climb over that rock with a tire to get around it!

You could make it through most of this stuff no problem, the vehicle the camera was mounted on was a stock Jeep! You can hear her scraping occasionally, and screaming too! There is another thread on here with a short video of us hooking up to her so she didn't tip over, it's pretty funny.

Do our Portal axle conversion and you will have no problems clearing rocks like that one!

We also have some really nice stainless steel skid plates and I am working on some rock slider bars for the sides as well, I want to do something that will enable me to keep and protect the running boards and even the exhaust tips as well.
