That is a fantastic question.
Simply awesome.

Yes. A GT3 that has never seen a race track is as sad as a Jeep that has never seen rocks or mud.

I wonder how many Miata R package has never been on an autocross course? Or with a bar, the track.
Heck, how many Lotii ever get raced?
E-
Here we go again. 
Out of all the 'Trail Rated' Grands, Liberties, Commanders, Wranglers (yes I went there) etc that I see come through here, maybe 3 or 4 really go off road. I have a guy with a bright green '05 Wrangler with what must be $15,000 of chrome and powdercoat-to-match suspension stuff on it that has NEVER seen mud.
Put simply: there's poseurs in every crowd. 'Nuff said.

My 40 year-old Jeep doesn't -need- waterproofing.
It all gets out through the holes in the floor and MISSING door seals :)
I love my FSJ but I seem to remember the only reason a Rubicon got it's name was because it got winched down the rubicon trail by some REAL jeeps.

Rubicon comes with 32" MT's, a 4:1 Transfer case, 4.10 gears, and a lockers front and rear. It's plenty real.
