i like the ESP. it provides great traction and assurance especially mentioned with the earlier posts on ignorant drivers.
my jeep dealer also told me they can adjust sensitivity. they see it more often with the Unlimited.

Saved my rear
The ESP saved my rear when I was cruisin' in 2WD on a dirt road at night a few weeks back. I came over a quick hill to find that it quickly went to the left and down the back of the hill, I cranked the steering while braking to prevent me from going into the ditch...to my rescue, the ESP control set in and kept me on course and in a nice tight turn. From that point forward, I've been a fan.

crap
i've got a 5.5 inch lift 37inch tires and have not been real happy with the esp thus far i had the esp flashed when i got the jeep lifted but still can't take an onramp over 15 mph everyone says if your steering wheel is off even a fraction of an inch it causes trouble but i've screwed with mine 10 times and still have trouble so if anyone is able to turn it off i'd like to know how i hear that with a rubi you can turn it off by holding the button for more than 5 secs. well i'm one of the a-holes who diden't spring for that important option ouch!

on topic:
i'm with HC. we don't get a lot of snow here, but i do love some power sliding on slick roads. ESP takes the risk out of it.

After I fixed everything on mine, it hasn't gone off since.
Good luck!

No problems here. I have a 4" lift with 37's and the only time mine has ever engaged was when I took my first test drive after installing the lift. My steering wheel was almost 90 degrees out. I straighened the wheel and all has been good since.
I hope I don't regret posting this.
