@crawlnclimb- Yes, they're both unibody. The WJ is definitely stronger/stiffer. Sam

XJ's are more nimble on the trail, but only a real concern in areas with trees TIGHT on the trail, or deep V-notches. Not as soft in the rear when fully loaded as a WJ. As a "wheeler", a nod to the XJ. WJ's have a ton more room inside. Much less road noise, more driver comfort, crossover...

WJ, V8, QuadraDrive, 245 70R17, 2.5" lift. That was my recipe for a solid, reliable, capable rig. Full size spare fits in the well still, nothing needed to correct geometry, a dream to drive on highway and mixed trail. I've only gotten winched up the waterfall at Grizzly Lake and the "wall" at...

Proper tires and lift appropriate for the depth of snow you plan to tackle. The QDII will do the rest.

Quadra-Drive and HO engine have worked WELL for me on the Limited! Reliable but expect to replace parts that have over 130K/Mi. I'm at 212K, about to rebuild engine because of typical head issue. Use the correct fluids in the T-Case, and axles, which seem to be the cause of a lot of peoples...

Crew transport for remote location filming would be my guess....? Sam

WJ Grand Cherokee V8 and QuadraDrive or heavy duty tow package. HD tow package comes with Vari-Lok rear only and HD cooling (mechanical & hydraulic fans). 247 TCase is very responsive full time 4x4 with 4Lo capabilities.

Haven't been disappointed in the Maxx yet. They evacuate water/slush better than the interlocking center tread of the BFG KO (same tread as KO2), and a tough sidewall that still rides great. 245 70R17 E load range, 2004 WJ Grand Cherokee w/QuadraDrive no lift. Recent snow no issues street or trail.

DubJ for all the reasons I listed in dan0's thread. XJ's are extremely nimble on trail, but the space and comfort in the WJ (especially with the grand kids+their gear) is a big win. Sam

TexGX-Compared to the deer in the Carolina's, might as well be hahahahaha! Awesome pics MudderNutter, thanks for sharing. How'd you like your Cooper's on the trip? Sam

More and more of that happening. Here in Colorado too, where MJ is legally grown, mostly indoors. Eco-terrorists and anti-access crowds are getting more aggressive. Dirt bike, ATV/UTV, Jeep trails seem to be the target. Equestrian, mountain bike, and hiking trails have not been affected yet...

Great pics! I love taking my daughter on those scenic trails up there too. Enjoy! Sam

Awesome pics! How were the flowers? Sam

Looks better and better every time! Smart layout. Sam

boss324^^^Looks good, and seeing more of those around. BFG AT/KO was the very first off-road tire I've ran, MANY miles of enjoyment under those. I'm really loving where the hybrid tread design is going. Manufacturers are really listening to the market needs. Sam

Doc/Lumpskie: You guys have some great looking Old Iron, keep up the good work! Sam

Adventure on, my friend! Looks like y'all are doing it right. Sam

I'm running the 245/70R17 ST Maxx now, and the 235/70R17 AT3. You can feel the weight of the ST Maxx, but MAN have I been surprised by the on-road handling of the ST Maxx. It's been extremely wet here in Colorado, and hitting puddles you can feel the water evacuate while the tire plows...

WJ all the way. I've run the XJ and ZJ also, and like those platforms, but feel the WJ offers a lot of product improvements that make them "better". Uni-body on the WJ is more rigid, thicker. Fairly flat and square "frame rails" make slider mounting easier. More comfortable interior and more...

Awesome rig and adventure story! Thanks for sharing. Sam
