Nice, it's good to see a Sorento in it's proper element, I wish we had more Sorento's here. The Sportage guys should'nt pick on you at all, they already know what it's like to wheel something differant than the norm. Thats one of the things I miss most about my Sporty, all the "what the heck" looks, I don't get that in the Jeep.

That is a really good job on the bumper!
It's cool to see a Sorento Wheelin', not too many are willing to risk it with those.
Are those FWD based drive train or traditional logitudinal oriented engines?

The 1st gen Sorento are body on frame with low range 4wd just like the Sporty, they do have a v6 and a lower low range I believe, They are built right.

I like it. Mechanically speaking there's no reason not to offroad them. they got proper goods as the sportage yep. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> They are rather a pretty suv in disguise. I'd never expect them to have been 4wd tcase and frame.. they remind me of the lexus rx350 so I immediately think AWD unibody. lol. Needs 'rough guy' mods like that awesome bumper. Good work!
