Yes, and it probably should be a Scout 800. Although, Bill Thebert's 
Scout II has done some awesome crawling while in my company. But, it is 
very highly modified for that purpose. My Terra has done some 
not-awsome, but semi-impressive rock crawling and has the scars as 
evidence. My Terra never did belong on the Rubicon, and I apologize to 
it for taking it over that trail.

My biggest problem while rock crawling has been bending the front 
driveline. Hmm, I've also bent the rear driveline a couple of times.

In regard to your earlier statement, what did you have in mind as the 
case where size doesn't matter. <g>
