If I step on it from a standstill I will burn both tires. Did that once when I got a bad launch trying to race my friend in his MR2.

While heading up the Rim trail in MOAB. We were the only XJ with a group. All morning they ribbed us UNTIL:

Wrangler owner 1, started to wheel hop on an obstacle. Instead of letting off he gunned it. Guess what happened to the spider gears, with his oversized tires?

An hour or so later, YJ owner #2 tore up the under carriage and lost his gas tank.

Two favorite Sayings from the same persons are now:

Do you think you can make it? &

i got once "why you doing all that to your Jeep? youre not getting what you put into it back out of it" who the heck said I was selling my Jeep???? Selling my Jeep is the farthest thing from my mind. there is just so much everyone can do to their jeeps.
