Default Re: Why is a JK Wrangler So Much Better

One of the other reasons I got my JK is that my PRIMARY use for it is wheeling. I drive a Suburban for daily in-town driving. It's a luxury liner compared to the JK and loaded with power.

In the future I'm likely to be chopping up my JK and it will become more and more of a rock buggy. I love to fabricate as a hobby and I have long term plans for a beefy cage, larger tires, etc, etc.

But for now, the suckiness of the JK on the highway (actually, it's not as bad as I'm making it sound) is not of any concern for me. When I go skiing - I take the Burb. When I wanna wheel, I take the JK. I can do 5 hours trips to Moab in the JK and it's not that bad. But I'll not often drive the JK on 1000 mile trips. For that matter, I had stopped taking my H2 on 1000 mile trips because we do those in my Honda Pilot, the ultimate road SUV.
