Forgetting the cost of the Jeep itself, there's probably close to $10k in wheels and tires alone... figure almost that again with lift kit, gears, custom (or aftermarket) bumpers, modified or replaced fenders, skid plates etc. My guess is that if you are going to put close to $20k into any vehicle it can perform pretty well any way you want it to, be it off road or on the track.Besides, while off roading is fun, the reality is the worst any vehicle like this is really likely to encounter (inadvertently I mean, aka, without deliberately going and looking for problems!) is going to be wet, rainy, snowy or muddy conditions, and in those situations, AWD is not just adequate, it is exemplary. Don't buy into the "Jeep hype" because it is complete and utter poo. Besides, I know guys that can drive anything and get further in the woods than many Jeep drivers can!

It's why I'm going from Jeep to Subaru.
Now, in all fairness, you really liked the way my JKU rode.... Def

Car is done. I pick it up tomorrow! nothing beats early!!!
Being an International Man of Mystery requires exotic women. Detron, being from the US, would be more used to Canadian women and so they wouldn't have the same intrigue.Def
I guess Detron is too busy tooling around in his new ride to tell us if he likes it or not!Def

Did you get any sleep last night or were you too busy fantasizing about robbing banks and getting away with the new car, while at the same time foiling international terrorist plots and having gorgeous European women falling madly in love with you as you whisk them away to safety?Def
