    I think that would give him too much credit

    Wink

    On the one hand I can laugh and generally share in the same sort of anti-jeep sentiment (also when riding my Suzuki I tend to ignore Harley 'stuck-ups' too unless 'they' initiate a wave first..lol)

    But, in all seriousness, with a front open-diff and LSD rear I could see a stock VX or alot of other 4X4's fail in the same (should not have picked a parking lot to show off) situation.

    My Dad had to tow-strap his neighbor's Ford Explorer out of his own front lawn even though the Explorer's driver side wheels were on the paved street. I'm guessing it probably had open diffs front & rear. The neighbor was clearly disappointed that his "4x4" couldn't escape the situation under it's own power!

    So I dont know why this is just a "Jeep" thing. Like a Jeep is only capable of doing this? I think this case was a dirver thing.

    A VX is more than capable.....
