Having a wreck in a Wrangler can be expensive. Just like having a wreck in an IFS-based vehicle.

Those IFS-based vehicles, however, break significantly more often on the trail than our Wranglers. I've witnessed it repeatedly.
I believe you.

So in other words I’m good to go wheeling right from factory in my rubicon? Amazing!.

So I’m just curious here my reason for driving Jeep because I love solid for an accident. I don’t have to worry about it breaking Tyrod or anything else. The only other thing I can think of that has a solid fun or the grenadier’s which I rented and drove one in Montana and it was a pretty awesome truck so tell me everybody which of the IFS trucks and SUVs bronco forerunner Land Cruiser, Ford, and Chevy and Dodge makes the strongest IFS
Bro, I need some of that thingy you were on 🤩

Not that I would know :angel:
frat house “Sweat Hog” contests. Money pooled, the fattest pick-up got half, the ugliest got half…. That one would likely get the pot….. Yep- a kegger was usually involved. …

I won half once :blush:
Were you the ugly one or the fat one?

As far as Wrangler as a primary or DD, I just love my Rubicon. It's great in the city. It takes speed bumps without slowing to a crawl, potholes are no worries, the high seating position provides great visibility. The only highway liability is noise. Some complain about vague steering on the highway. Whatever that is, it does not bother me. The design resists door dings. My ride is stock with 33" factory tires.

If i did not know the Jeep had a solid axle, I could not tell it's not that different from a driving on the road perspective.
I used to drive vehicles where the front tires were behind your seating position so turning was a different experience.
I bet there is a decent percentage of people who have no idea the axle is a different animal than every other "car" they have driven.
