[HummerJim]

I've owned two Wranglers (a six and the four). My personal observations are the Jeep is great offroad, but it is noisy and rides like it is bolted to the frame with no springs or shocks. It will wear you out on any length of highway driving, BUT they are fun.
Taking the doors off in the summer is required. I had the soft top and the hardtop. The soft top won't last more than 3 years and it flaps around at any speed over 30. The hard top has so many squeaks and rattles, you have to turn the radio way up or get a loud muffler. Forget about hauling anything in a Jeep except a friend and your dog. As for the fun factor it's high, but not in the same class as a Hummer IMHO.
I had reliability problems with the head gasket and #3 cylinder exhaust valve on my 6 cylinder fixed under warranty - a common problem if you go to Wrangler threads. You gotta do what is good for you, and what YOU WANT!
I agree with TAZ, I sold my H3 to my son and for five months I was Hummerless before I got the H2. Just ask Orange Crush and others, nothing out there compares to an H2.
