So surfing youtube, I found this video. This is one of the two places we took our jeep when we were in hawaii, called peacock flats.

Most of the vehicles seem to be running to much tire pressure.
Still enjoyed the footage. Was actually surprised the new Cruiser worked as well as it did.

Most of Toyota's "real" 4WD vehicles (4Runner and FJ, not RAV4 and Highlander) have long been capable vehicles, but with the switch a long time ago to IFS, a SAS vehicle should ultimately prove superior with better articulation.
We had a '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) on many a Jeep Jamboree in the late '90s and it's incredible what even a stock "luxury vehicle" will do. Ours had the Up Country suspension package, but it was still techically stock because it was a factory option.

^ The 4runners and such, as well as the newer Jeeps do pretty well. However, nothing beats a solid axle luxury SUV. A ZJ or WJ (93 - 98 or 99 - 04) Grand Cherokee will go just about anywhere with a good driver, and they're still pretty comfy. Mine needs a set of upcountry coils though, as the standard ones are a little mushy at times.

This hole might look familiar. It's the one that I post pictures of our jeep being stuck in. It's the one that killed our first tranny.

The Up Country came with taller springs and Bilstein shocks. That was one nice riding vehicle.

Not to mention blown ring and pinions, blown differentials, etc.

Hokie - Mine is getting a set of MX6 adjustable shocks to pair with those UC coils, so it should ride at least as well.
Nice. Are the UC coils still available from Jeep?
Not new ones, unfortunately. They're not that hard to find in a junkyard in good shape though.

That has been addressed.

X2.
Otherwise, looked like some decent mild wheeling.
