    Once I extend the wheel base on the XK, I'll still be 4.5 inches shorter then a 4 door JK. I think thats pretty reasonable. The 4 door JK's seem to do extremely well off road once lifted and have the ground clearance.

    the 4 door JK's (aka "the limo") do pretty well as long as they don't need to make tight turns. i see them all the time bound up in the switch-backs. what i can easily negotiate they will end up doing 2 point turns to go through.

    Is that due to the JK's wheel base being so long or due to the steering?
