oh yes, Jeeps are very good offroaders (I'm not sure about all though). Most Jeeps can go where most SUVs wet their pants. The only reason you don't hear about Jeeps is because they're cheap so most people only talk about capable off-roaders like Land Rovers products...but if you hang out with enough Off-roaders (at least here in the US) they'll tell you that the amount of money they would have to spend to get a Range Rover or something they can put that in their Jeep and go where the Range can't.
It's just like the fact that Ariel Atom can beat most supercars but you won't ever hear anyone talking about that, they'd rather talk about Ferrari.
Oh and to Martinbo...I know that the Wrangler isn't a Mercedes so going on long trips is out of the question but I thought we were talking about Off-Roading? It's as comfortable as you're going to get while being in a 40+ degree lean...LOL
