Umm as someone who 1. Has a raptor.

2. Has gone every single place minus one (drive up a wall) cliff that my buddies new/old rubicons and jeeps have gone.

I can speak somewhat authoritatively on the topic. Are there places that a jeep with its dramatic angle of approach can go that i cant with out damaging my skid/bumper. SURE AS HELL ARE

Is that going to stop me from smashing my front bumper/skid? Probably not.

(i have replaced my front bumper once already)

So yeah, it may take a bit more balls and you be smashing **** up but the raptor can go just about every damn place any of my buddies are willing to take their jeeps. Actually i lied, there was another small twisty trail i didnt bother trying because i didnt want to trim/cut trees or blaze my own path. (which i have done serveral times before)

For the record once my travel slows down for work ill be fixing the angle of approach problem a bit.
