What a great vid!
My owner related story: Several years ago, I used to live in New Britain, CT (former hardware capital of the world) on the corner of a very busy street. Every winter, I'd watch during snowstorms as people would try to make it up the street, which was straight as an arrow, but had a decent incline at one section.
During bad snowstorms or icy conditions, cars would get stranded along the incline, and just spin their tires. I saw Subarus, pickup trucks, etc. get stuck, too. There was only 1 vehicle that would make it up the hill 100% of the time: Wranglers. I watched as the Wranglers would effortlessly cruise by other drivers that were stuck (this was not a section of town where you'd stop to lend a hand).
That was when I knew for sure that I someday wanted to own a Wrangler. I was also really impressed by the old YJ that a mechanic across the street from me would use to plow his property - that thing plowed countless feet of snow, and never seemed to have any trouble at all.
It's a Jeep thing - and we're lucky to have it working for us!

I can't watch this video anymore!! Makes me jealous that I don't have mine yet!!! Especially since we're suppose to get 6-8 inches on snow this weekend! 
Oh well, I guess I will just have to take out the wifes 4-runner and have some fun.
