Srch - what did her insurance say... I read your thread about your Durango vs the jetta..
I would love to see the 'moron' video, but YouTube is blocked here at work.

Mine won't easily spin the tires either, it really has to be on either a wet road or some surface that the tires don't like to grip, but it does get up and move well enough for me (but this is my first truck with a V8, the car I had before was an 05 Neon). I have 31in tires that are pretty wide too, too much grip to spin them very much. Mom and Dad's (99 5.2 4X4) has smaller, skinnier tires on it and it will spin them if you stomp on it hard.

her insurance evaluator came and looked at the car... basically i had to explain to him everything that was wrong with it... he took some pictures... made up some bullcrap about how they wouldn't know for sure till they get it to the shop, etc... which is true but my insurance guy had a quote and what was wrong with it for me within 2 hours... funny thing is she turned in a claim against my insurance which of course was denied... her fault... lol... but yeah if you have nice All-Terrain tires they will grip the surface great, mine spin on gravel or when the pavement is wet... the tires that came on it i could spin easily cause they were just like road tires...

If and when you get you rig back you should name it "the jettanator" ..... good luck tho, hope it all works out for you.
