What point were you trying to make? That is has a frame? It
doesn't. Made in America? It's not.

I didn't see the bit where it says it was an import. Where were Camaros made
? They were a US design weren't they ?

My Subaru Outback actually outweighs my TJ.

Not to mention a high CG, if the crash is at any sort of angle.

With all of the impact force transmitted to the occupants, rather than
absorbed by the vehicle.

Except in the real world. your Subaru crumple zones are what
absorbs the rigidly of the TJ frame bring it's occupants slowly to a
stop with our bumper in the deceased Subaru's passengers mouths.

I really have no idea - I'd always assumed they were US built.

I think they will find that three car seats in a Wrangler is alot like 17
college kids in a VW. You can do it. Once.
