i would image that it can be done, but i dont see why. I took my thunderbird mud bogging once. Well it was a dirt road that became a sloppy road than i hit this 7'x4'x1' hole. That was full of mud. I was looking off to the side when i felt my car falling in the hole i floored it. fucked up my tie rods, but hey i made it. My friend actually got his f150 stuck in it. lol

I do not recomend it, although we have like 8' of clearance

Just keep pushing the skinny pedal till you get stuck. Be sure to make vids and post them.

any car can do minor off roading. i've seen some 2.2's look lifted by simply putting some aftermarket wheels on them w/ stock suspension.

Hell guys, Minis cleaned up in the Monte Carlo Rally back in the 60s. Anything is possible with enough initiative, elbow grease and good ol' fashioned American ingenuity.

But then I'm pretty drunk, so it's more likely that this is a terrible idea.

Stock springs, stock tires youll be fine on bumpy dirt trails and fire roads. Weve got those all over here by me and I have to travel some just to go over some peoples houses, the bigger the bumps the slower you have to go.....a smooth dirt fire road is a thing of beauty.
