New Jeep Mountain Bike

I've always wanted a 2-wheel drive mountain bike, I just never thought it would be a Jeep!

that looks pretty cool ... there are other manufacturers besides jeep so you dont need to have to own any jeep products ... hehe
otherwise i think i would definately invest in a 2-wheel drive bike.

That thing must weigh 50lbs. You'll need AWD just to get it moving. I'll stick with my Homegrown, thanks.

"More power at the flick of a switch"?

Doesn't it take that much more power to get that front wheel spinning? Just like in our trucks the engine has to work more to get it going in 4wd? Its a different idea for sure. Just like the offroad skateboard.

No chance that those gears will ever get dirty and wear/break. Why is it that we change our differential fluid? Why do we even have diff fluid? I forget.

I can't beleive the expensive crap that people will buy.

And it's a Jeep...so it's definately going to break

Oh, and can you get lockers? If you upgrade from the stock 26x1.95 to 26x2.10s, do you have to regear?
