Those two Jeeps are built for entirely different purposes and markets.
My first Jeep was a 1945 MB, and over the years I've owned ten others.
The older "flat-fenders" were about like a goat: they could get anywhere that you dared to try. That ability comes at a cost...
The more "civilized" versions (CJs and Wranglers) were a bit more refined; yet they gave up a bit of the off-road skill-sets.
The Comanchees, Libertys, Cherokees, and Grand Cherokees were basically very pleasant bad-road vehicles... that you'd prefer to NOT get too deep into the really fun places...
