They have been making Jeeps since 1941.... sooo the Jeep of today is not the same as the Jeep from yesterday...
Mine is a 2022 base model with a eco diesel and roll up windows... yet it still has a computer screen that display my on x off road maps, traction control that makes posi traction unnecessary, cruise control, air conditioning, gets 25mpg with 35" tires and can tackle some pretty tough trails.
And for all the arm chair commando's that poo poo Dana 44 axles, mine has them front and rear.
30 years ago our Jeeps had 44 in the rear and 30's in the front, the only times axles broke was when an inexperienced driver got to heavy on the throttle in the rockpiles bounce the tires and when they came down and grabbed traction the axle snaps.
It was predictable who this was going to happen too.
You want to stick with 37" or less tires with the Dana 44 and use driving skills and you will never have a problem.
