I know Luai personally, have done two JKX with him. His LJ is badass......however, that LJ has as much custom work as his JK. So it ain't even close to stock or off the shelf parts and is closer to his JK despite what you think. By stock, maybe he means motor and trans, everything else is aftermarket. Sorry, but the JK 4 door still has more room than the LJ. If you are comparing a stock JK, LJ, TJ, YJ, to a built up crawler, well then sure a dealer can service the stock vehicles. But in 4 yeas of ownership with my built up "rock crawler" I have yet to need the dealer to look at anything left with what's stock, and I have yet to do anything other than regular maintenance to what is modified. Do some research on what is getting broken and replaced on jeeps and you will find its the stock, weaker, inferior components. You upgrade to better aftermarket pieces so you aren't visiting dealers. I am not going to argue fuel consumption, I know what I know as fact from not only my personal vehicles, but the vehicles (hilux, landcruisers, land rovers, pinzguers, gelanderwagons) I have crossed foreign countries with, vehicle with much smaller tires still running tubes on split rims . I'm not going off of a friend who has a vehicle that once told me how great his mileage is with 33"s
Next question......
So in other words your telling me that you can take your JK on the same overland trip he did his LJ over 2k miles in unmarked land and still be as efficient as him? I really dont think so. Im not doubting you cant do it, but I am doubting you will be as efficient because that rig is intended for that kind of work.
