The Jeep "Like nothing else"

The Jeep 
“Like Nothing Else” 
I’m not completely sure if this would be considered an outdoor sport but the way I see it its close enough.  What better way to get from point A to point B than in a Jeep?  Well in the world of outdoor sports, the answer to this question is that… well there really isn’t a better way.  The jeep is the ultimate off road machine.  It has been given the name “hummer recovery vehicle” for a reason.  The truck is light weight and comes stock with wheels large and wide enough to off-road with.  I’m also near certain that it is the only and if not, one of the only stock trail rated vehicles on the road.  
I personally own a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Classic it is amazing, I have driven that truck to hell and back not once having any major problem with it.  Not once have I gotten it stuck, unlike my dads Chevy Silverado, and the mechanical relay for the four wheel drive is so much better than the electrical relay systems.  Yes I have had the occasional problem with an electrical relay here and there or just recently I realized that I had screwed up the front end universal; however through all of that, it keeps on running.  I have done everything in that truck; from tearing through the woods to drifting in four wheel drive to pushing it to 113 mph on the expressway.  It has 130,000 miles on it now which is fairly young for this truck.  My uncle has one and he has me beat with 250,000 miles on it.  I would be interested to hear of anyone with a eep that can top it.  Just comment and leave your mileage and a short message if you wish.
