No way I would do that to my Outtie. She likes to stay on paved roads. :)

I took my 06 back on some trails this past weekend....it does really well but the paint can take a beating from sticks and stones.....

There is a water crossing id like to try there also ...it is about knee high...Ive seen many vehicles go across it including some mini vans.....i am just worried about water coming inside the vehicle.....

I would think the 07 should be just about the same offroad, it should be pretty capable...

Hi gents, I am the proud owner of the Offroad Outtie in the vids.

It IS great on the rough stuff, and so far after many a long weekend playing in the mud, sand, gravel, rocks, & water it is still going strong.  I travel quite a lot for work, and even though I am away from my home base about a total of three months out of each year - I have managed to put 235000Km on the poor thing since new in 2003!

It's all about HOW you drive offroad - not the vehicle as much.  Fine, you can go anywhere in a Hummer, but I have seen some Youtube videos of dunces who still manage to destroy thier precious Hummer by not knowing how to drive within the vehicles limits.

HEre's some recent pix, and yes the new number plate shows how proud I am of this car!!!

LED's in the lower bumper, under the roofrack, relective tape all over the place.  Of course what 4x4 is worth it's salt without a bullbar & 720W of lights across the front?

Thumbnail Image

The LED's at the rear, inside the reflectors in the bumper, and indicator & brake LED's under the Roofrack, a bit of reflective tape for added visibility!

The Bar during the day.  00UTY number plate.

Spaceship Outlander - high intensity LED bars under the dash & front seats.  UHF CB, GPS, Leather steering wheel cover, Fire Extinguiser (you never know when this may be handy) and who goes anywhere without thier towel?

I found the absolute limit of downhill traction - 39 degrees.  Limits of tyre traction.

I did it (a little bit)!
In mud with the stock tires (Bridgestone dueler sport)
Not bad!
And I had forgot to turn ASC OFF. I think it could helped....
