Take what I’ve got to say with a grain of salt. I don’t have a Jeep. Never had a Jeep. Want a Jeep. Test drove a JL today. I’m getting one soon. I even thought about this issue for a moment while I drove a brand new rubicon.
A lot of this issue is tire dependent. I drive a lot for work. Highway, and oil field roads. I’ve had a lot of different tires. I like tires. I’ve learned to appreciate how differently they all behave from not only driving a chevy 2500, but thousands of hours on a dirt bike and mountain bike. Not that any of you would, but if you put some Michelin ATX M&S’s on your Jeep, I bet much of the slop would go away. My favorite compromise of performance on and off-road is a BFG. They wonder more than some, and give more of a sloppy feel. Also the temperature of the tire effects this. A mostly clapped mudder isn’t going to respond well to small steering inputs.
