    Bart, Bart, Bart...a jeep off the showroom floor is no more offroad capable than a VX off the showroom floor. You will rarely see a jeep on the trail that is not modded also...none of tem come with 35's
    Of course all this "non-modded keep it simple" stuff coming from the giant spikes roof rack front.

    You guys are COMPLETELY missing my point. I'm not saying I have anything against modding (obviously). Look at my 1st gen, I am constantly trying to make it do things it was never meant to do. I did a freakin' engine swap!!!! I'm just saying that Jeeps, off the showroom floor, are more readily modded with lift kits, winch bumpers, etc. Afterwards they still look good and perform well when done because they were designed with this HUGE 4x4 aftermarket in mind. Our IFS VXes were never built with any of that in mind. And when people try to give a VX a Jeep like aftermarket treatment, things don't always play so nice. And if you think Jeep makes new Wranglers with modding not even part of the thought process, I think you are wrong. Jeep is the only company left making a vehicle that was MEANT to be driven offroad and not just to the grocery store. Know what I mean?

    And the spikes come off with 3 little wingnuts, btw.
