Can;t blame them for covering there butts. You say 2wd gravel. He's thinking "off-road" off-road. How many companies hear "But it was just a maintained gravel road" when they know there's no way Joe Dirt had the damage he's got from anything less then Jeep trails. First guys was reasonable in his reply given today's scale of honesty. And I'm not saying that's you. But they have to cover themselves for the lowest life form and the way they drive as well. Results are gonna vary on an average pot-holed fire road depending if you're doing 20km/h or 80km/h. ;)
