I like how they document their trips.    Looks like that would be quite a challenge with smaller tires.

I liked the editing as well.  I'd be curious how well a smaller Jeep would do though.  Like the Rubicon video, those 4dr JK's seam too big, or not big enough, if you know what I mean.

I would have given it a shot with my Jeep.  I am pretty sure I would have used the winch more often than they, but I think my little YJ with 33's would be similar in capability to that 4 Door JK with 35's...  The V-Notch would have been a REAL challenge, though!  Same with that obstacle after the 3rd river and the last 2 windshields!

And I agree; their editing and the way the document their trip is just plain awesome!  I think I may take more than a few ideas from them and implemented on my next edit of one of our trips!

Oh, and I KNOW I would have taken less water than them during the crossing because I have done a couple of them already, and with the half doors, very little water gets in (as long as you are moving forward!).
