I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Agreed, the new Jeep GRAND cherokee is not a good offroad rig.
The unibody Jeep CHEROKEE XJ with F&R solid axles is a great platform to build for offroading. Bet you didn't know it was a unibody
Back to your comment, I use rear solid axle (other than the H1) & 4 low transfer case as a minimum benchmark for offroading platforms rather than frame design. The Cherokee proves that unibodies can be used on more than just cars.
