Believe it or not i checked out the Kia when I brought my Pajero. The 4WD guys over here give them very good reviews in suspension, drive system, and reliability.

Well I gotta give you credit for actually using the thing on dirt, unlike 99% of the wussies over here.  :)

Try running anything bigger than this un and you'll get laughed at over here. Why? Because one of these will end up having to tow you out of the mud/sand/other **** because your big bad machine got stuck :)

Look at those Dakar rally results, hell even the EUROPEANS can build better 4WD's than the yanks.

And WTF is a geo tracker?

geo tracker... one o them little suzuki 4wd's


There is some offroad racing in the US, besides arena stuff, can't think of the style of trucks they run though.  Not like dakar, and not like rally...

The "Wreckless driving after watching 2f2f" reports have already started rolling in on the radios.

If it's "wreckless" I guess it can't be all bad.  At least no damage is being done.  ;)

Funked I've seen similar 4WD cars like that Geo Tracker humiliating bigger "real" 4WD cars like Chevy Blazer, Dodge Ram, and Jeep Cherokee in OffRoad races.
They're small, can drive slalom between the trees, they're light so they don't sink in to the swamp so easily.

In some cases slightly modified small Suzuki 4wd is really better option than some larger, heavier offroad machine.

Friend's Volvo C303 Pic1, Pic2 and Pic3.

With better 4WD you just find yourself from deeper swamp.

I could use a few deputies for sure.  It takes 5 people just to decipher one HiTech post.  Thankfully, he's not posting much recently.  ;)

Besides, I wouldn't poke fun at you if I didn't butcher my own spelling from time to time too.  At least you didn't say "loose" for "lose."  That one actually does drive me nuts.
