Im talking anything....from Geo metros to top of the line BMWs. But as the former owner of a Jeep Cherokee that practiced off road driving religiously... you can handle the WORST nature has to offer.... In 2 wheel drive. I would go through 2 feet of water mud, over trees and uphill in 12 inch mud.... without ever engaging the transfer case. Keep you fingers loose on the steering wheel, use as much gas as necessary, and keep moderate speed, and you can loose a very ON ROAD vechicle such as an accord in 10 feet. Accords were never made for anything of the sort, and anyone that couldnt keep up in a 2wd jeep was either asleep, drunk, or certifiably retarded. Have fun, but dont be stupid.
Try driving your XJ in 36" of mud in 2WD....hell, even 4WD didn't help me.

This is me stuck :happysad:
