The SJ at P&P today

Took the Zooks over to a friends farm today for a few hours.
The guys were impressed with how capable the SJ was, although I did feel very unsafe and inadequate in it, trying to follow the lines of some of the bigger trucks. All the axle twisters and bomb holes just swallowed up my little truck. :lol:

A few pics and videos:

Looks like good fun was had.

Swear I've seen that Frontera in the background parked up in Berkshire a lot?

Quite possibly dude. Its got the most complex roll cage on it ever. Not my tast but defo looks nice and safe. Weighs 2.2ton though.

Flexes up quite well for a near enough standard truck :)

Seems to flex better than the yellow frontera too! Just goes to show that coils don't always beat leafs...

I couldn't work that Frontera out. It was kitted out to cross the Sahara Desert, but looked like it struggled around a bit of UK woodland.
I think it was the weight of the cage in all honesty. 500kg of roll cage!

Yeah, and that frame out the back seems to reduce its exit angle a lot, making it a somewhat useless vehicle for mudding. It'd be ok for sand dunes though, if it doesn't sink.

I have a feeling he's still got his anti roll bars connected. I think that's why he doesn't get any suspension droop.
