My 2000 is DD, but my 98 is street legal and it gets some street time but 90% offroad only and my 88 is offroad only and would be hard pressed to ever be streetable.

One of the best things about being military is job security.

My 93, the "main one" I own that gets the most use is used as a hunting truck and rarely leaves that land. I dont use it for anything else.

I have a 97 2wd that needs a engine swapped that will become my backup DD soon.

I must say I'm kinda surprised at the results so far. Judging from all the built up rides here I figured there would be more of the daily driver/heavy offroading and dedicated trail rigs only.

Perhaps we are missing some votes? I know there has to be more than 34 people active on this forum.

My xj was supposed to be my dd but due to it's love of breaking got replaced by a 2011 fiesta hatch. So now it lives on as my heavy snow/ spare vehicle, but once the weather gets nicer it will be my dedicated trail rig/heavy offroader bc it is plated.. Regardless it's the never ending project no matter what the weather or future brings haha

Daily driver and mild off roading. If I'm driving down the road and see a little "area" off road I usually can't help but hit it and drive around it for a couple minutes.

If it's a weekend and no ones around, a little construction site like this will get raped for about 5 minutes then I'll leave before any law enforcement shows up.

LOL I do the same thing!

I hit up every cool looking area I see off the side of the road! I found this subdivision that didn't have only houses on it yet, just roads. Off to the side of that, there was a dirtbike track with tons of trails. I easily spent a half hour back there messing around with my XJ, climbing hills and stuff. I even hit the whoop section on the dirtbike track with my Jeep and it made me feel like I was racing Jeepspeed!

Interesting.......76% of us use our Cherokees for daily drivers only or daily drivers with occasional wheeling while roughly 20% use theirs for daily drivers/heavy wheeling, trail purposes only or being built up.

Whatever your intended purpose is just keep doing it and enjoy your Jeep.
