If you honestly believe that, you haven't really done any serious (SERIOUS!)
offroading with your Wrangler. I kid you not.

Re: Jeep Liberty : Reliability, Safety, IFS ??
If a Ford is a 4, then I'd have to say a Jeep would be about a -20. Maybe
the CJ a -10.
Note I'm note talking about off road capability - no arguments there - most
Jeeps do well there. Note I say most Jeeps - the Liberty being the
exception. Just plain reliability, mechanical, etc, the Jeeps fall apart.
Sorry to you Jeep lovers - just from my and every one I know experience.
