:clap: I recommend doing most at once. (Unless you prefer multiple cross country Jeep trips!)
Did you (or do you plan to) swap bumpers yet?

Still not making any promises, but I'm keeping my options open.

Okay so while I don't lack any confidence in my Sahara's offroad capability, it seems the Cherokee Trailhawk does have one advantage of a locking rear diff. However it looks like the front wheels will still spin more freely than the Wrangler's front wheels.

I have to admit I haven't done any actual research on the Fake Jeep. :bandit:
If the 2019 had been available in March of this year I would have had a tough choice... But it wasn't available, so the Wrangler had no contest.

My guess is they could both hold their own in basic off roading. I'll have to try to watch those videos tonight. :)

Yep, no serious rock crawling but pretty much can handle everything else. This is with both models with the factory All Terrain tires.

Now there's nothing really stopping me from getting a lift and swapping over to some serious off-road tires on my Wrangler, but I don't think any of the crossover Jeeps can do much as far as a lift kit is concerned.

The Wrangler in that video would have been at least 2x as capable with proper tires :)
