What are you talking about, there was plenty of room. I did say it would be tight in a couple spots but that I could get him through which I did. I even did it without any body damage. Luckily he followed my directions when I was guiding him through that one tight spot even though I told him to steer closer to the wall that looked like it was going to take the side of his truck off. See, sometimes what sounds crazy is just the right thing to do.

You mean the one where I did the exact opposite of what you told him to do? lol

That's the one. I even pointed that out because if that had been his truck his passenger side would have been up against the wall. You and I don't have that issue because our tires stick out past the bodies.

For being Chuck's first serious off road experience, not just farting around in sand dunes or light fire trails, he did great. About my only observation is that he has a tendency to lift the gas and lose momentum when keeping it down steady makes a big difference. He probably could/should have done in it 4H not 4L. That engine makes so much torque and being an automatic it would have been a lot smoother.

And thanks John for letting me drive the Trooper. Quite similar to my Wrangler in basic feel and a lot of fun.

Yes he did very well for being his first time and being in such a large truck (I love full size trucks)

Its easy to drive once you get over the little things. lol

Working through the video now. There's a lot of good stuff, about an hour of source I've divided into roughly 8 sections; probably come in around 23~ minutes.
