I had a 2004 Durango 4x4. Nice vehicles, but even with 4x4 I would not take it on most of these trails. Heavy bodies, engine has no torque down low, no 2 speed transfer case, makes these vehicles mostly highway cruisers, which they do nicely I might add.
I have currently a 2000 Durango which does quite well for most of these trails. The only thing it has problems with is still no low end engine torque and limited front suspension travel. Rear wheel travel however is quite impressive and does make up some for the limited front. It also has the larger rear axle with a factory locker, factory big wheel option and of course a two speed transfer case which makes it much better suited for off road use.

Cool review video
I have been so busy that I have hardly any time to post up videos. Just realized that I am way behind here. Hope this is some good entertainment for you folks. Four videos for your pleasure in a row. See you on the trails, George.
Watson! The Back Way
In this video series SW Idaho Overlanding is heading back into Oregon in a attempt to reach the remote old farming community of Watson. Not much is left of this forgotten community, but the drive in could be a fun adventure. We have driven in the front way before so now it is time to take the longer, not so well traveled back way in. Ride along with us as we drive, at times, a fairly primitive road that meanders through the back country of Oregon. We'll see some cool sights and tackle a variety of different road types.

SW Idaho Overlanding's second attempt at reaching a gorge in SE Oregon. With a mechanical failure the first time will they make it this time? Ride along and see as they find interesting roads on their way to their destination.

Pulling this one out of the video archives. With the Jeep being down and Corona, things have gotten a bit lean.
This was not a regularly scheduled trip for myself. A friend wanted me to guide him and some of his friends on a trail I had taken him on a few years before. These guys normally take their rigs and tackle much harder trails than this one since their rigs are set up for rock crawling. Sometimes you just need something different.
Come along with us as we travel the open desert and then drop down into a side canyon of the Snake River. We follow the Snake River for a bit and then finish off in a play area before needing to head back.

Not wanting to spend $250-$300 on mainstream traction boards I decided to purchase some sub $50 traction boards. To be honest I really thought I would ever use them. In all the times I have been traveling in the back country I have hardly ever been stuck more than what a few strokes of a shovel could not get me out of. Since these boards where under $50 I went ahead and purchased two sets.
This was the first trip out with the traction boards. As it turned out they proved invaluable in this situation. 2-4 inches of thawed mud on top of frozen mud. These traction boards made the day more enjoyable since they worked liked they should have and were fun to use. Yes I did have support, two of the vehicles with me had winches, but what if I was alone? Well these boards would have saved my bacon since I could self recover in this situation as proven in this video. Even if these boards only worked 1 time they saved me hours of digging or waiting for help. In my opinion it was sub $100 well spent.
