Why you wheel the DD silly!
The Heep did pretty well for a truck with 30's.. I was very happy with the lower gearing than the 4Runner. In fact, I was staying in 2nd gear most of the run.. That center crossmember is too big though. I got high centered on it once and had to beg a tug. But other than that, it went thru like a champ. Between the two.. I have to admitt, I Like the short wheelbase (maybe it was just wheeling with no doors or top..)



btw.. no I was not stuck here..

 

Jeeps are definitely big fun when they're running.....

It's just hard to pack up the wife, kids, dog and all their gear to go camping in one!

 

Indeed.. But have 4 kids and can not do that with my 4Runner anymore either! lol...
I have had decent luck with it running. It is by far not as good as a Toyota motor, and they seem to have crappy blowby, and if it is not leaking oil something must of run dry. But it is fun.. I drive all day (well, 4 + hours a day) and today it will be in the 70-80s I will be driving the Jeep with no doors or top and covered in mud.. Most fun
