When driving the GMC Jimmy with 4 inch lift and big tars down the highway there were a couple of places that it would catch air from the bumps in the highway. Very startling the first time.

There was a railroad crossing about a mile from my house that the road sloped up to the crossing on either side by about 20 ft. It was fairly steep. Found at 45mph the Jimmy would completely jump the crossing and smoothly land on the down hill slope on the other side.

Yes, It was crazy fun. For female passenger comfort I carried a jog bra in the glove box for off-roading.

The funnest thing to do was to drive along a motorcycle trail that went along about a 100 ft drop off. The trail was barely wide enough to drive the 4x4 along. Would watch the passengers and see when they were really getting uneasy with the drop of on their side. Then I would turn and drive right down the drop off. They would come unhinged. Most people would scream nooooo. A couple of people jumped from the front seat into the back of the Jimmy. My dad just sat there and didn't react or say a word. A month later I started receiving a 4 wheel & off road magazine subscription in my name.
