Default Real world OHV performance




Took my 90x up to Dove Springs and Jawbone last week in the pouring rain for some off road fun. Very happy to say that the truck exceeded all expectations even through deep water and over substantial wash-outs. Yes, it got super squirrelly in the mud… but that was the point. Even with a higher than usual COG courtesy of the RTT, the Defender was extremely capable and an absolute pleasure to drive. Had no problem keeping up with the ridiculously equipped Raptor I went out with. Very much looking forward to my next adventure in this off-road monster. Happy new year to everyone!

When my son was younger, we used to go out to Jawbone, Dove Springs, Cal City virtually every other weekend with our off-road bikes, ATVs and side-by-side‘s. Great memories and great places to go off-roading!!!

Yes, it’s carpathian grey underneath all that mud.

I took my fourteen year old daughter with me, who was grumpy UNTIL we hit the first big puddle sideways. She was all smiles after that!

No need to be redundant.
