Simple question: What percentage of Jeep owners do you think take their JKs offroad?

For those voting, feel free to list your train of thought, as to why you're making the choice that you are. As for me, I picked 31-40, because I think that there are a LOT of "non-traditional" Jeepers now that the 4-door is offered...

I think it is surprisingly low. Especially with the new clean look of the JK, who wants to take it out and thrash it? Yeah, I love taking it out on light trails with some moderate terrain but where limbs won't scratch it.
The question is really, what do you call "off road".

Official "Jeep" claim...
From an article on the internet:
Off-road: In a world where only 15 percent of SUV owners ever go off road, Jeep says 60 percent of Wrangler owners do; for Rubicon models, its 80 percent. Those percentages are the industry's highest, says Kevin Metz, Wrangler brand manager. (Next highest, he says, is the Hummer H3, at 30 percent.)
I cut the number in half due to the addition of the 2wd and the 4-door.

I guess 31~40%
I spend most of my time working to pay for the bloody thing, so that takes 1/3 of my day, family takes 1/3. 1/6th for sleeping, i am running out of time! So i dont get to go as much as i would like. I figure i am somewhat normal (in my situation that is, not mentality~ dont be scared...) so i am probably around the top of the bell curve somewhere.

I agree. I have 3 Broncos in the yard one of which was just replaced as my DD by the JK. The JK is my going into town ride.

I picked 21-30, because although the "non-traditional" jeepers are enabled by a 4 door, so are the "non jeepers." I feel there will be a number of soccer mom/ mall cruisers that will pick up the Jeep just because it is new and cool. Also, let us not forget that it is the only 4 door convertible. I expect we will see a number of people from the sunnier side of the states picking up the JK for a trip to the beach, althought they have no intention of even driving it on the sand.
