I would be willing to bet that any forum members on here that have a 2WD version of the JK wouldn't wheel it. But who'd admit to that? Haha.

I don't wheel my Rubicon, I just take long branches and run them down the side of my rig and cram rocks up into the skid plates to dent 'em cuz I don't want all you naysayers calling me a mall crawler.

I don't wheel mine.... because I got suckered into purchasing a Sahara JKU to save some money for mods. Therefore, my Sahara model makes it very off-road incapable compared to a Rubicon. This Sahara JKU is a pavement princess!

Default Don't wheel for the sake of wheeling

I suppose I do wheel, but not for the sake of wheeling. My wife and I do a lot of rock and ice climbing up here in Alberta. Some of the best climbing requires a serious 4X4 to access and that's why we bought our '09 Sahara. Love the Jeep - awesome vehicle, and this site rocks too!

I haven't wheeled mine since my last rock crawling outing. I was worried I was putting too much stress on the axles:

Oh yeah! We all know how inferior those Sahara models are compared to a Rubicon. All mall crawlers driven by soccer moms, every last one of them. Seriously, the guys who start those threads Rubicon VS X, Sahara and all that stuff have rocks in their head. At least 50 - 70% of ppl who buy jeeps dont wheel them and that includes Rubicons. As a matter of fact there is a guy down the road from me who has an '08 Rubicon Unlimited with off road bumpers, tires, lift etc and he will tell you himself it has never been wheeled, he just likes the look and the fact the doors and top comes off and thats completely cool with me. I bought mine mostly for the crappy winters in Fort Mac and Nova Scotia (was kinda travelling between the two every year), then I started playing in the dirt one day and now I go every opportunity I get. My view of it is that no matter if its a YJ, TJ, JK, BJ, or what its used for a jeep is a jeep.
