So basically, The jeep is very capable still, just not as capable as past body-on frames? That's good to know. Since off-roading would be a bi-annual event for me. More than that in the beginning for learning purposes. But once I know what I'm doing, 2x a year would make fun times on vacay.  |
I haven't messed around with one off-road much. I've heard they're surprisingly capable, but I remain cautious.
Setting aside capability, there's a simple size issue. It's much more difficult to haul something that big along a tight trail. Where a YJ might not need a spotter, a JK will. There's just too much car to keep track of from the driver's seat, IMO. For something you plan to drive to work afterwards, it is a huge detractor.
