Seems like a what of work to end up with a car that will get outclimbed by stocker.

So what if it fits between trees better - don't spend all that time working on it and live with the body damage.

Probably right DAS, the G-Wagens (like the SII Discos) have radius arms in the rear as well as the front, which gives too much anti-squat when climbing.

True enough, but there's always somehting you could climb with a little bit more wheelbase. hence the reason that the Oklahoma based Jeep builders in the States build stuff @ 120-130" - they have very tall ledges to climb.

I am learning to drive through the antisquat problem.... I just have to have more nerve and push the the point where it gets all light. :roll:
