I know, I know, not exactly a comparison video. This channel has some early vids of a stock Rubicon going these sorts of trails (this one probably) and they took out a stock Bronco BadSquatch. It appears to hold its own but I hear a good bit more metal scraping than I would expect from a stock JT on 35s. See video at 8:50

I'm on 35s/no lift. Can confirm, lots of scraping. Disconcerting at first. But afterwards, if you look underneath, it's so well protected that it's just the skid plates. But I think he's on 33s if that JTR is truly stock.

I didn’t watch the videos (yet), but keep in mind the JT has something like 20 extra inches between the wheels than the Bronco. I sometimes forget just how long the JT really is.

Anyone have an idea where the trail is located? That is an amazing looking run.
