ummmm, because they got stuck? Everyone gets stuck. If you haven't gotten stuck then you need to get out of the parking lot.

Why would you want to pull off your windshield or roof & doors when wheeling. So you can get banged up?
Then store all that stuff somewhere after you break your ass pulling it off...
And when your done put it all back on after your all coverd with road dust. I really dont get the wrangler thing? Not at all on the east coast!

I'll take a shot at answering it Almostajerk, Oops! I meant Almostajeep.

Why not fill out your profile and introduce yourself to the people here?
What's your ride? Tell us a little about it.
What other forums do you belong to?
I think you will find that the majority here have had or still have Jeeps or other 4wd's at one time or the other.

Welcome to the forum.

Um, i really wasn't trying to be a jerk when I said all trucks get stuck. However, about getting some life under my belt; I was a pro athlete for 6 years and I've wheeled more women, met more people you subsribe to magazines to read about, and seen more of the world, on somebody elses dime, than you will probably before you die. Young I am. That's a fact. Unexperienced? Please don't be another bitter midlife crisis.

if you want a good laugh try driving past the Chrysler Proving grounds in Chelsea Michigan. take a look in the parking lot and see what people are driving. sure there are Jeeps, there are Dodge's & Chrysler's too. right in the middle is my H2. on the opposite side of the lot in another H2 thats almost a twin to mine. that Guy works for the "Suspension Lab", he's a buddy of mine. I work for the Impact Lab. we do offroad testing on the stuff to make sure the airbags don't fire because you hit a bump too hard. I used to drive "endurance" years ago and it was ok, but nothing like how we abuse stuff at Impact. if I could give more detail I would, but I'll keep my Hummer Thanks.

Sorry youngster, your not even close, and thanks for the "Midlife" compliment(I'll take it). and Please don't use the Jeremiah Johnson movie line, "I've skinned more Grizz than you ever will". I'm not even going to go into where I've been & what Rice Paddy or jungle I've walked through, you don't have enough time in life yet.
Your just a Youngster, each day in life your add to your Empty Bag, don't worry, you'll get there, take your time.

Like its parent Daimer/Chrysler Jeep Wrangler is a dying breed. They have followed a flawed path of design and scale. Over time they will be eclipsed by other brands...

Well now, I must agree again,.. looking at these pictures below, this is no way to build a JEEP & seeing how it gets so unstable with this outdated design. I feel IFS is a much better / safer design to ride on 3 wheels instead of four(4) when offroad, who needs Articulation in an H3 anyway(I see your point), the girls feel more safe..

This guy should be ashamed driving this outdated design. as can see they never changed that old crappy design from old to new..what were they thinking.



Now this is how the Pro's do it, the heck with all 4 on the ground when crawling. They like more of a challenge.[IMG][/IMG]

See how much fun this guy had with NO Articulation..He had a blast, and wants everyone to be able to see his IFS up close & personal.[IMG][/IMG]

So if I was DM/JEEP I would definitely change their Design..

People who place so much importance on solid axles amuse me, but you'll be left in the dust anyway. Most in the field have already figured out that solid axle tech has reached a wall, and that independent suspension solutions are the only logical future.

Besides, it takes bigger balls to take an IFS rig on a trail, feeling every climb/descend is a great thrill, something you solid axle whores just don't get. Continue "floating" over those boulders, not much fun in never having your body roll an inch...

You'd probably cry if you took any HUMMER out on the trail, your Jeep has made you less of a man
