I agree, They do have some great advantages off-road. Small and not thay high (trees are always apart enough to pass a SJ) and lightweight will help a lot in the mud. Recovery is much easier. So it makes it easier to take some risks. If I had one I certainly would have tried things I do not dare with my Trooper. The only thing might be a little lack of power in mountain climbing. It will climb but takes a little longer. Who cares. This might also have some effect on sandy beaches/dessert. Don't know really. Maybe I'll buy one one day. Just for the fun of it. Kind regards, Erik-Jan. |
