I love my XJ as much as everyone else. But to say that Wranglers are not capable off road vehicles is just not correct. Whether it's a YJ, TJ, or the new JK they are still very capable. I own both an XJ and a TJ and am very confident in both of their abilities. The only issue I have with Wrangler's is actually with their owners. When I drive my TJ they will all wave back at me, in my XJ most will ignore me. We are all Jeep owners and I don't think we need any of that "elitist" crap!

"... and when you get stuck my wrangler can come pull you out"
11:30 that same night got a call from the same kid asking if I could come pull him out because he got his wrangler stuck.

That's when you should have parked on said ricer's hood and showed him the reason we can't do body lifts and then directed him to a body shop

Your XJ is sitting in a giant snow drift, covered up to the top of the wheel, when some guy comes up to you in his crappy 80 something pickup and asks if you need to be pulled out.
Your response should always be "I'll pull it out myself, and I'll only pull out when I'm ready"

Not gonna argue that! But dam the wife's Riot is good in snow! If only Colorado would pass a law banning all idiots from driving when the white stuff starts flying!

I find it best to keep my mouth shut about what my jeep can or can't do. It's mostly stock, but as soon as I start talking smack, it's going to get buried somewhere and I'm going to have to get help getting it out.
