When mine was stock, I wheeled the shit out of it. Have the dings on the stock skid plates to show for it. I had to learn my and the vehicle's limits

How capable is a stock JK? How about a stock Sahara 2 door? Watch the video linked below. Kindly ignore the ignorant hillbilly making the recording.

After the video, try to envision a stock Xterra, FJ Snoozer or Hummer H3 doing this...

Ain't nothing like a Jeep

This pretty much sums it up .

If you're new to wheelin', a stock JK will do things you aren't ready for as a driver.

Wow, holy cr*p that was awesome! My first time out I took a moderate to more difficult trail and thought i was pushing it, not sure I would have even attempted that.

These stock JK's are great. I think LSD is a big advantage, I know mine has helped me and disconnecting the sways helps immensely. I still have the srock 32" SR-A tires and they are way better that expected.
