I think its important to know your trucks limits and have some sense if you want to do more wheeling than repairing. At Emu Creek on the weekend we did a number of the extreme tracks and only one gave me grief. There was a rock ledge right at the top i couldn't crawl up and couldn't bound over with a bit of throttle so rather than doing any damage i had another car (came up the chicken track) winch me over the ledge. No damage done. A JK Wrangler gave it a go with plenty of throttle and air, breaking both sidesteps, steering damper, and losing some sort of reservoir out the bottom of the car in the process. |

But from what you have listed Id go the Challenger. Check out MrBishis build of one on 4wd action its a really well set up all rounder. |
