DC's disclaimer on modified vehicles

[MoladoGuy]

So I was wandering through the Jeep site and read a story called "An Engineer and his Liberty". It also includes a photo of the guys Jeep.

Well at the bottom right corner of the write up there is a faded section that read this:

Any modification or alterations to Jeep® vehicles could seriously affect their roadworthiness and safety and may lead to an accident resulting in serious injury or death. Modifications to Jeep vehicles should only be made by professional mechanics. The Jeep Brand and/or DaimlerChrysler Corporation is not responsible for any modifications that change the handling and driving characteristics of the vehicles. Only trained professional drivers who are aware of off-road dangers should attempt the driving situations shown here.

I just thought it was funny, especially displaying what they say a "stock" vehicle was doing.

NOT SURE TO TOW THAT HEAVY TRAILER? TRY TOWING A SEMI-TRUCK:

The Semi towing story sounds like a load of crap. Quite honestly it's embarassing to have it on the Jeep site seing as how unbelievable it is.

Now they could have used my, "I took my Liberty to the Moon" story and been just fine....... (whistle)

I will call BS on the semi story also. I tried to pull an empty rollback out of a ditch with me being on pavement. The tires just spuned and made rutts in the pavment.

I believe that guy is also a member of lost. Seems like I remember a topic not too long ago about his picture.

I had at the time a 3/4 Ton Chevy with BF Goodrich Mud Terrine tires. Rutts maybe not, but did take some of the top layer blacktop off. But the point is I had ideal traction and could not move a empty rollback, I guess it had to be 14-18K LBS. Now to claim to move a tractor trailer, 30-80K LBS, up hill and in snow, NOT!!!

Yeah, well my Liberty pulled this....
