Open up both videos, resize so they both fit side by side and with only a few pauses to one or the other, its amazing how identical they are. |

I just went back through & did as Harvo suggested with pausing & alternating each. I know you claimed that you like the Panther better, but it seemed like you were able to get over most of the obstacles faster with the Sedonas.

SWEET courses. Looks like a fun place to crawl. I got me a set of the Sedonas,ain't mounted them up yet. Not real sure I'm gonna like the width of them. Not sure if I wanna try them Saturday or not... |

First of all great videos and driving!!!!! I noticed that you are running slws in the rear with the panthers, is that a lighter set up than the sedonas? The side by side video comparison like harvo suggested makes it look like a close call but the sedonas looked a little better. You said you liked the panthers better, what is the reason? Are you running the same foams and what are you using? Sorry for all the Queastions Just trying to pick you brain a little because mine seems to be getting a little foggy with all with all of the options and possabilitys Thanks

I watched the videos first without looking at the comments so I could judge with less bias. I thought you did better with the Sedona's.

First off great vids and great driving joe I'm gonna have to agree with the rest of the guys the sedonas on a line for line view seemed to always out do those leopards.....from my own testing I notice the sedonas do take a different drive style then the panthers...one thing I really liked about the panthers was they seem to "unwad" alot easier then the sedonas when bound up in the cracks... anyway great test vids I love opening two screens and watching side by side 5 star rating tech for sure!! |

Nice vids Joe and great driving. I also think the sedonas performed a little better. Hey we each have our own tastes in what we like and driving styles, otherwise everyone's rigs would be the same.

Great camera work, and driving. Im with the rest, I think the Sedona's took less effort to pull the same lines.
