Question Wheel hop

I am looking at getting a JK this year. Do JKs have a lot of wheel hop when plowing through deep snow? Is there a difference between stock and lifted? tires?

I know most pickups get allot of hop .....axle wrap.

Playing in deep powder with a couple jeeps like you guys would be at the top of the list of all time fun.

I hear ya, man. It is absolutely ridiculous here in Boston. The other night my girlfriend and I decided to move to NC before next winter. No motive behind it, just simply sick of this cold ass weather.

While we're freezing our asses off with the heat on full blast, others have their doors and tops off and are wheeling on trails and beaches. I can't believe it took me 22 years to realize to get the eff outta here.

Axle wrap is an issue with leaf sprung suspensions....

We have gone from 4" to 1-2" for the "Big Snow Storm" down here, bummer. It is suppose to get to 5 degrees F Friday and Saturday morning....

I hope they are wrong...I wants snow!

We don't like this type of weather down in the South

20 something and possible snow Thursday and Friday. Not the norm! Damn Global Warming!

C'mon people were Jeepers for chrisake! Were supposed to be a little resilient and rugged. Buck up!
