I know but I'm confused. Where you just joking when you said off road capabilities to rival Wrangler?

shouldn't be difficult considering the JK chassis isn't exactly known for it's offroad prowess.


XJ and TJ were the last real Jeeps. TBH I doubt we'll ever see a real one again.

So with body mounts and a lift kit, the JK would still suck for off-road?

suck is probably harsh, but the chassis simply isn't made for it.


Off-roading is interesting because most cars are far more capable than people realize. It's not so much a lack of ability to accomplish tasks as it is a lack of durability when tasks are not executed correctly.

You'd be surprised to see what, say, a stock FJ or something can do. Unfortunately, you come down on some rocks wrong and wind up with permanent damage.

Well maybe rivaling was a stretch, but you sure as hell cant get far on rocks in the 13 liberty from what I've heard. All of the affordable jeeps aren't very good for rock climbing. But this new Cherokee is supposed to be...
