I don't think it's broke 800 miles yet... but it'll go offroad. Not any crazy falling down rock ****, but trails and stuff. Hell we took the M5 on some light trails this summer lol. She's from Colorado and has a jeeping family in Oklahoma so other than dirt on the inside she enjoys it.

Sweet, always good to see a jeep that actually gets used.

Lol that you took the m5 offroading. I'd do it with an e30 or e36 if I ever had one. Rally!!

We went... slow. It was mostly just gravel/dirt/BLM roads, but there was one section that was uncomfortable. Street tires do not grip well in the dirt.

We started down this one loop and about 1/4 mile in turned around. My teeth couldn't stand the rattling.

This is what I used to do in my Jeep before I sold it for the Evo.

You should see a Range Rover suspension travel. I mean a real Range Rover not the wanna be ones that 18 years drive cause daddy bought it for them.

That is a stock Rubicon. I was happy nothing broke. Also, that hole was about 6 feet deep from the bottom to the top of the tire.
