Jeep is an automobile brand owned by Chrysler. Jeep is the oldest off-road vehicle brand, with Land Rover coming in a close second.
Jeeps have always been known for their off-road abilities. Today, the Wrangler is the only light-duty vehicle offered in North America with front and rear solid axles. These axles are known for their durability due to their overall strength and lack of rubber boots to get torn on twigs and rocks. Solid-axled vehicles also generally articulate better, especially when traversing ruts. Even the two wheel drive models are equipped with "solid" axles in the front.
Another plus of solid axle vehicles is they tend to be easier and cheaper to "lift." This "lifting" increases the distance between the center of the axle hub and chassis of the vehicle. By increasing this distance, larger tires can be installed, which will increase the ground clearance of the Jeep, allowing it to traverse even larger and more difficult obstacles
