I do take my 2417 offroad, and have had no problems. I had (just sold it, and am getting another 2417, but this time a 2417KD) 13" wheels, and a 2" lift kit. Did not scrape on the rocky stuff.

Forest Service roads are not a problem at all, as they are only somewhat rutted. If you go on Forest Service 4wd trails, (very rough roads), just pick your line carefully. The new models have 14" wheels, so the axle is about ¾" higher than my 13" wheels, and the new lift kits are 2½", not 2" like mine was. So, the new models have about an extra 1¼" of clearance for the axle.

That said, my TM axle was a bit higher than the bottom of my differentials, so if my Grand Cherokee could clear the rock, then the TM would clear it. I plan to do even more Forest Service trails with my new 2417. I prefer getting away from other campers.

Hope this helps.
