I have met a number of Crossfire owners who coincidentally, also own a Jeep.
The downside is, my Crossfire is currently taking 2nd place to the fun enjoyed in off-roading!
I know a few over the years who either added a Jeep or replaced their Crossfire with one - Off roading is fun !!
GEEZE do I ever remember the days 30 years ago when we'd pile into my friend's V8 powered true Golden Eagle and take that thing anywhere. I can't comment on any of these newer Jeeps but that true V8 Golden Eagle had the floor boards rusted out and such but we took that thing places no sound human being would take any 4WD. I remember when we got it hung up on a rock and all 4 tires ended up off the ground. We got out and rocked it back and forth until we got some bite on the one side of tires and then got in and all sat on the right while he floored it, we spun around and broke free of that rock. That thing was indestructible. I seriously doubt any new Jeep could do what that did (but I could be wrong).
I just bought Gunner about a year ago, and have yet to take him off road other than some gravel roads. He’s a 2017 JKU, and my first Jeep. My other car is a 2005 aero blue SRT roadster with about 34k miles.
We have a 1995 Jeep Wrangler Rio Grande. Last model year for the YJ Series (Rectangle Headlights). Don't use it much anymore but it's not a significant cost to hang onto it. Jeep is in great shape (see below), completely stock & we enjoy it whenever we take it for a drive. Wrangler has just over 110k on the ODO. Don't take the top down anymore, but the windows come out during spring, summer & fall here in SC.

Im a Jeeper. I have a 98 TJ. Bone stock. Bought it in 99. Honestly it is the best vehicle I own or have ever owned. Love my Jeep. It is relaible and goes everwhere. I just passed 200k on it. The only thing is new Jeep owners hardly wave back. Waving at another Jeep has always been a thing. I catch myself doing that while driving the crossfire. ✌️ Remember nothing last forever, chicks dig mud and Jeeps rule. 🤓

We've got a '95 YJ (Rio Grande) with just over 112k on the ODO. Gave it to our 2nd Son as a graduation present from college. He got it during his summer before his senior year so he could enjoy it. That was in 1997. When he graduated, he wanted a Sahara Wrangler since he accepted a job offer in Atlanta (Rio Grande had no A/C). So I provided alternate down payment means & we kept the Rio Grande. Still looks 'factory fresh'. (Note: Sorry for posting a 2nd reply. Jeepsters get pretty passionate about their vehicles!! )

I had an 82 CJ7 for twenty some years, towed it behind a motorhome mostly. We spent a lot of time in Mexico on the Sea of Cortez running on sand. The Jeep was a 6cyl 5 speed, really lacked power, if you had to shove in the clutch you were done in the sand. Swapped the 6 out for a tuned port 350 out of an iron camero and added an auto trans with o/d. Made all the difference in the sand. Used to spend about ten days every summer for years in Ouray CO, great off road drives in the San Juan mountains. Got a lot of enjoyment out of that jeep. Yes everyone used to wave. Sold it about 5 years ago.
Our 2nd son, Derek, that I referenced above, is still a Jeep nut. Here's what he owns right now: (left to right - 2021 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon; 2020 Jeep Gladiator w/6-spd manual; 2022 Grand Cherokee L w/Hemi).
And his oldest son, Alex, has a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
I own a jeep liberty trail ride Ltd and xfire limited roaster. My fire gets me thru spring, summer and fall. My jeep covers everything. Btw my jeep has a hitch just in case I ever have to tow the xfire. There both 05’s and still running strong. Soon I be able to have vintage plates on both 🔥😂
I still have both my 2008 Crossfire and 2018 Wrangler JLU Sahara. I love both and plan to keep them as long as they’re running. I also still have my first Jeep… a 1965 Tonka 4x4. ☺️
