and you guys are hilarious! I jumped it about 5 times and that was the hardest one. Since the jump was uneven and I was landing right front first I decided not to go any harder. It was pretty fun though and I highly recommend it to everyone! lol....by the posts no one else agrees lol!

Yeah, that's why I'm moving out west.

I've jumped the shit out of a lot of Chevy trucks and SUVs without any damage. However, IFS is a lot better set up for it. I got a lot better air than that a bunch of times in my old 2 door S10 Blazer I had back in HS. I got some ridiculous air out of my '08 Silverado once. It was completely by accident and surprisingly landed very smoothly. Maybe those Z71 jounce bumpers really do something.

I've tried jumping my JK over railroad tracks a few times, but its too heavy with waay too much suspension travel. I've jumped the shit out of a few rental cars too.

i think it is funny how some of the people on this thread are giving crap for jumping. when half the people on this site take chances with ther jeeps on the rocks. what is the difference, we all abuse them and if I ever get a chance I will fly through the air. I used to jump a old nissan kingcab truck. we would fly down beach blvd in Huntigton beach in the middle of the night then make a hard right turn into a fast food restraunt through the parking lot and over a jump. in mid air the brakes would go on so that you wouldn't run through a nearby fence. Those were some great times.
