A stock wheelbase TJ wouldn't be a wise choice but stretched and built it's an excellent choice. Longer wheelbase for stability, low center of gravity, high ground clearance, light weight, designed to climb things that can't be walked...

Nope, nothing at all. Mine was paid off before I bought the Z so I kept it and built it for what I wanted. I don't think the guy has a clue about what I'm describing, what it's built for, or just how capable a purpose built crawler is though.

I know exactly what you're talking about and I've watched plenty of them get pulled out of ditches and from ravines of Hatcher Pass. You didn't get a response because what you said didn't deserve one.

Sorry, but I highly doubt you've seen "plenty" of what I'm talking about pulled out of anywhere unless you frequent places like Johnson Valley or Moab but nice try.

You've yet to tell me why I need a wrecker. Hint, a ditch isn't a valid reason. Now, a wrecker might need me but alas that's a story for another time.
