[Lunentucker]

I'll be honest, the thing did alright in places. Especially considering the bone stock tires pumped up tight. LOL

Hope they purchased the optional insurance/damage rider! I never usually do, but this would be the time I would if I was going to wheel that rental

Can you imagine the grief he got from his wife alllllll the way home?

 

[Mr._Bill]

I used to skip the insurance. Now, I get it with any rental. The extra cost relieves stress and provides some peace of mind during the trip. The only thing I have to worry about is the fuel level. When I'm done, I just turn in the keys and walk away.

not so bad the Overland! Perhaps just with other tires...?

I'm guessing the side steps are no longer comes standard on an Overland.

Either that or they were "taken care of" in the first mile of the trail

Just checked the build site. It's an add-on option now.

Those tires look as aggressive as the tires on my wife's Hyundai.

Kind of cool seeing people from Europe coming to the US to see our country and ride our trails. I've heard that people that live in mainland Europe have to go to Africa to find offroad stuff. Shame. There is nothing left to use for those guys in all of Europe that hasn't been taken over by the government or third parties.

No, at least in May 2022, the steps were an option and added to the cost of the base vehicle. No longer standard.

Go to youtube, search "Jeep club Israel" - not "Europe" but they have fun over there. The whole country is basically off-road. Actually, having spent time there, it's safer for your vehicle on the trails than on the streets or roads there (no joke)

Clearly they didn’t use Duck mode.

The walk around at the vehicle turn in.... lol

If you rent jeeps in Utah / Nevada / Etc. This can't be a suprise.

Really was impressive for a stock Overland. If it had a mild lift and maybe one locked axle it could have done it without problem.
