haha i wouldnt take that thing off wven a foot from the ground unless its on a floor jack or a hydraulic lift.... suspension wouldnt hold up at all from a jump, possibly 2wd, but remember front end is still waaay heavier, your nose diving the s.o.b.... 4wd models... torsion bars would most likely snap from all the weight from a jump... if it doesnt alrighty, good news, but remember, if you film it... please put a lable " WARNING: NEITHER YOU NOR YOUR DUMB LITTLE BUDDIES ATTEMPT THIS".. haha

I have taken my Dak out to glamis and have jumped around on the sand dunes many times. I beat the snot out of it in the process, but it did great!

I've taken the 88 dak over a jump before. I was goin in my buddys field and I didnt see his dirt bike jump. I hit her at 60kms. it came crashing down but didnt really hurt anything.


I jumped my 74 F250 over a table top on my buddys dirt bike track. I got like 10ft of air and I drove the thing home
