DO you think you can make it?
While heading up the Rim trail in MOAB. We were the only XJ with a group. All morning they ribbed us UNTIL:
Wrangler owner 1, started to wheel hop on an obstacle. Instead of letting off he gunned it. Guess what happened to the spider gears, with his oversized tires?
An hour or so later, YJ owner #2 tore up the under carriage and lost his gas tank.
Two favorite Sayings from the same persons are now:
