My jeep has been way more reliable and has kept me from speeding. Now I drive slow to look for mudding or offroading spots, and it's just more enjoyable to drive slow in a jeep

Lol I manage to grab about 20-22mpg cruising the freeway at 65 with my stock wheels and no lift! Not bad for a box on wheels haha
