Forgot about splitting a t-case in half and breaking the tranny mount. If you ain't breaking stuff you need to try harder. Oh and a Detroit that then killed the ring and pinion.

i bought them because i ride a lot of logger trails and the last thing you want is your tire going flat on a stump.
but here's what they can do:

Tural, what do you have under the hood? Those videos make me homesick for Ky where i grew up. I used to see those old logging roads wandering through the hills and wish o could go 4wheeling on them. Thanks for the info on the tires too, they sound a little tougher than the misses needs.

i call it the juggernaut
i took those videos while i was stationed at Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA. some days we'd finish work at noon and just didn't feel like going back to the barracks

What branch are you or were you serving in? My best bud from Ky is in the Army stationed in the middle east as a flight medic on black hawks. Really great guy, also has a cherokee.

Might not get stuck as much as the hummers, and save a billion on gas. Of course the body armor would have to be limited.

Well I have only made it to the trails 3X in the last year I owned my Jeep. I have managed to break my windshield due to body flex (floorboards, come to find out, are important structural component of a unibody vehicle, and I ain't got none), ripping out both mirrors (my old trail vehicle, an 84 yota 4runner had flex mirrors- not so much on a 95 XJ) as well as denting most of the body panels.
I like my trail damage, and half of the dents were there (door dings n such) when I got it so I had to add some of my own... The only thing that has really stopped me on trail has been snagged and snapped brake line and PS hose died.
Granted, what I do would probably be a mild trail ride for some of you guys, but I have fun! :-) Hope I can get more aggressive off-road now that I have a second Jeep for DD.
