Re: Why all the Giggles????

The Cherokee and the Wrangler have nearly identical suspension and drivelines, in any given year. The Cherokee is at a slight disadvantage off road given its slightly longer wheelbase, however, it is extremely rare to find a situation where this would be an issue. Its been proven over and over again a cherokee can go anywhere a wrangler can.
The cherokee is much more useful and comfortable on road and off, with more useable room, less noise, better on road handling etc.
For pure off road, the Wrangler has a slight edge. For on road and all around usefulness the cherokee is far better.
BTW I own a CJ and a cherokee. The CJ is parked all the time because its too much of a pain in the ass.
