Impressive!! Looks good in and out.

I also like how the rear seats can recline and looks like the leather quality is that of the WG's. IMO, WG's leather seats are more comfortable than WH's.

I don't know how good it is offroad considering independent suspension all around.

I was thinking I would wait for the Diesel but heck I'm not a pensioner yet. Judging by your avatar you know, how is the Hemi Offroad/Touring?8-)

Where do I start?

As stock, bear in mind it's a bit lower than the WG's (around 1 inch at the diff and 1.5 at the crossmember).

Depending on what type of 4WDriving is to be done. If touring, including gravel, sand and desert corrugations, it's good the way it is.

If there are ruts and mud, then, if you have side steps, remove them and also unclip the bottom part of the front bumper. If it's like that and doing medium to light ruts and mud, it is performing well. Hey, with 5.7L and over 500 Nm of torque, you can't get stuck considering the new Quadradrive II, mate, this beast pulls.

I'm not a serious 4WD person but for what I do on the weekends and then wife using it weekdays (kids, shopping and that), can't be better. I basically travel everywhere (in Australian states) during holidays and try to drive through bushes (including deserts) more often than highways. :D

Sounds spot on, and then if you add the air suspension...... As an aside how many kms do you get out of a tank touring?

Ahh but its not like our old WH Quadradrive, as the new one only had a rear ELSD, not front and rear like the previous model.
