Do you all remember how when the JK 4 dr came out all the TJ folks were capping on it saying how it wasn't a real Jeep? They were supposedly to long and too wide. Did you notice how many of the locals built for Moab buggies and Jeeps had axles sometimes wider than the JK and how they had comp cut them, often to JK length wheelbases (and I saw a few even longer). The 4 dr JK has proven to be a stellar perofmer provided it's got some lift and rubber.

We made a couple of folks upset. There was a doctor from CA that had a TJ w/ coil-overs that was really built. The JKs did much better than him. All he could say was that he was going to fix that...

How? By buying a JK? Or spending more on his TJ?

Here are more examples of how well the Unlimited JK does on a couple well known Moab obstacles:

Awesome climb! If anyone has the Jeep that can do it, Mowaab is the man. Nice driving. Thanks for the great pics.
