The Jeep booth at the auto show had a 'trail rated course' that involved obstacles and big hills. Very much fun to go on a ride in a 4 door wrangler Rubicon. There's a black Liberty, a few 4 door Rubicons, a wrangler, a commander, and a grand Cherokee running this course - I think its safe to say that all these (aside from the showpiece w/the winch) are stock.

I'll post some youtube videos later this week.

Yea I was surprised to hear that there wasn't a KK there...or was there?

My sister went with her boyfriend and said she seen a KJ but no new liberties. I believe she went for a test ride in one of the rubi's....LUCKY! :roll:
