Jeeps
Anyone else run Jeep(s)? Specifically, the kind with solid axles front and rear, the only kind...
In addition to the Lexus I just picked up (and a loaded '13 F150 FX4) I have a couple of Jeeps for nice days and activities. That means I can start:
'05 TJ Rubicon
'98 XJ Cherokee
Truck for good measure, as sometimes I use it to tow a Jeep.

Congratulations.
Looks like you enjoy off-roading. Welcome to the 5% or so of truck/SUV owners who actually do so. (a somewhat higher percentage for Jeep Wrangler owners)

Some insurance companies don't give you much choice.....they won't cover any off-road damage, though the definition of "off-road" may be subject to interpretation. But, with a vehicle as nice as a JGC, insurance or not, I'd share your concern about its paint job and trim deteriorating if you took it out in the boonies. That alone is reason, IMO, to keep it on regular paved roads....or mlld off-roading at most.

In reality, if you do any serious off-roading, you know you'll get the dents and don't particularly care. I had to wedge a jack between the tailgate and tire carrier once to bend a crunched exhaust pipe back, whatever. My skid plates and underside look like a war zone, it is what it is.
