Question for Jeep Drivers

Well now you're talking about modding up, which I could do with my GX too, but then you certainly do lose some the ride comfort that makes it a LexusThat's true to a point, but you won't go far rock crawling in extreme places in Texas, Moab, etc. Heck, there's a place called Wolf Caves in Texas I will never return to. If I didn't have $1K in skid plates I'd have been toast. You need a min of 37" tires (40s would be better) to navigate those boulders.
Overlanding, though? You're gtg as are the 4-runners, FJs, Broncos, etc. Our trip last year was a combo of Silverton, CO area and Moab.

Ya, you really do have to "mod up"...and I'm not even where I could (or should) be. We hooked up with a group of Lexus and 4Runners one weekend and one of those guys drove it like a rental...I learned what disintegrating a rear diff sounds like. Ooof! That was one pricey Lexus.

Jeep people aren't the brightest stars in the sky
I will never own another Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge as long as I live

But we good with people dropping $25k on an ATV to drive around town correct?
Hopefully it's more impressive than Audi's B&O system. It's crap. I pulled my wife's and installed my own.
Yes. The ducks are ridiculous.
This is the only Jeep I’d own if I had to choose. 4.0 inline 6. Bullet proof and easy to work on.

I had that one too. It was a 1998 4x4 with a 5 speed. Had two Jeeps in Alaska, the 98 and my 93 YJ (Wrangler).
The Jeep JK with 6 speed manual transmission is the true test of driving a stick. Like rowing a boat and easy as hell to kill.
Funny you bring this up OP. I just asked a Jeep owning friend of mine this very same thing. She explained it to me and while I wouldn’t do it, to each their own.
My son and I have a 99 Wrangler that we like to pop the doors and roof off during the summer, cruise around town, and listen to old school rap. It’s not practical at all but it is fun to cruise in on a nice, warm day.

Nice. We went on that exact same trail. Absolutely loved Ouray (went in August, wouldn't probably enjoy as much in winter). Want to go back and make it to Telluride soon.
Well, most trails are closed during the winter. We did Black Bear Pass, Imogene, Ophir, Engineer, Poughkeepsie Gulch, Yankee Boy and few others I can't remember right now. We went in August as well.
That makes sense about the trails being closed in the Winter. We did Black Bear Pass and Imogene and I loved both. Beautiful town.
Those darn switchbacks on Black Bear are terrifying! Ha!
No one gave me any stupid ducks for my Jeep...
Didn't want them anyways, it was a man's truck.
