Default New to Jeeps

So I've never owned a jeep in my life, matter of fact I thought they were ugly.

I watched a lot of off road videos on YouTube and they slowly grew on me, they just looked so much more capable of everything. Jeeps made my half ton truck look like a useless sedan. So a week ago I made a spontaneous decision with my wife and bought a 2012 Rubicon.

It drives great and handles like a dream, but haven't really had the chance to test out the 4x4. Ive been itching just to use it. But today... The mighty 4x4 gods has dropped 15cm of fresh snow. My parking lot is untouched, my neighbours don't have any 4x4s I am the only one. I was thinking of wrecking the parking lots smooth untouched surface. Any comments?

You will be amazed at the off road performance it has. Even a sport is more than capable . You will have fun with it and make sure you go doorless in the summer for a whole different driving experience.

So I ripped my parking lot apart then went to Walmart and they already shovelled their lot so I climbed the giant snow pile they made.

I wish I purchased a Jeep YEARS ago. This thing is truly a master piece, glad to be part of the jeep community
