Wow, talk about testing it till it breaks! Some of that stuff made me cringe even thinking about taking a 4x4 into the mud without an on site look. The skinny tires allow the tire to cut down to something solid!
I have a trip to Corpus Christi next week. I'm renting a car and making the drive so my youngest can go with me and we can stop along the way to see a few relatives. I guess I shouldn't complain about the type of car I get after seeing that.
