[31_bandits]

don't mail me any anthrax or anything, but i gotta wide w/black on this one.

[dеiтайожни]

I retract my statement. Go with hot pink.

[PARAGON]

pretty big SOB isn't it? I really like it, drives and rides as good as the H3. It's actually bigger than a Grand Cherokee. We had one parked to a Grand and it is just ...... bigger.

The front fenders have to go, as does the front and rear bumpers. The fenders are just too wide at the front and look goofy. Some aftermarket bumpers, fenders, lift, etc. and it's a pretty cool ride.

I haven't seen the green in person but the black is Ok. My biggest "complaint" is the stupid door looks in the interior. They are huge and just goofy looking.

[BlueTJCO]

the interior in the rear reminds me of the Honda Element. That I dont like. I really like the interior up front, they did a good job with that. And the "rescue green" color is kick ass:perfect10s:

The other cool thing is that you can do a simple budget boost to fit 35's and a four inch lift will fit 37's. They already have them developed and are selling them.

I dont mind the fenders that much but I'm also envisioning larger tires on the jeep. They look oversized with the stock 32's but I dont think they will with larger tires. And the bumpers, well..........aftermarket will catch up and until then just chop them up a little:D

[Wisha Haddan H3]

Looking good, moon. Have to say I don't like the acid green as much as the other colors. Black is fine, but red and blue kick ass, imo. I love the hardtop on those rigs - removable or configurable as you like it.

So are you just checking them out or thinking about buying one for real?

Question for you, I read that the JK has CV driveshafts ... is that true? What are the (dis?)advantages of that setup over u-joints?

[BlueTJCO]

CV joint assembly is simply better and more efficient at reducing or eliminating driveshaft vibration. Even at smaller angles, and even with correct matched-angle geometry, the single-cardan shaft is still susceptible to vibration. The CV shaft will always run smoother, quieter, and with less stress on the u-joints, and transfer case and pinion shafts, bearings, and seals.

Yes seriously thinking about buying a 4 door for my next vehicle. TJ is paid off and I really like it. So does my better half which is a huge plus, but she wants it in BLACK:rant:

I am thinking about waiting a year. I've read and heard rumors that a domestic diesel engine will be available before long........:confused: ...... and now the TJ is simply a project so I could throw some money into it.

[CO Hummer]

NO QUESTION - That green color is the BEST. I love that color.

Those tires in that pic are 32s? Man, the look smaller than that.

37s on the rig would be sweet!

[Sewie]

Weird, I just saw this link on another board.

I don't really like how the 4-door looks stock, but lifted, it looks pretty kickass.

One of the Jeeper's comments:
Looks like a ****ing H2 or H3.... :shhh:

[Wisha Haddan H3]

The 37s make it look a lot more like the Jeep Rescue concept. Very nice :)

[KenP]

With 37's that thing is going to be a monster on the trails.

HUMMER better step up soon.

It's like they paid more attention and tried to get cutesy with the locks and the switches were an after thought. But overall I really like it.

You might be right about the fender, but I really like the bushwhacker fenders that Ken posted if only because they aren't flat and don't appear to be as wide at the front.

The fenders do simply remove with something like 4 bolts though. Also, the Sahara we had was a body color molding and had 18" wheels, so it was kinda goofy. I will say this, you can't brake torque it and spin the tires, even in a turn or whatever you try. :shhh:

[ROX]

OIf Its going to be your truck tell her to go f her self and get what you want.Good luck with that!;) :D
That green color is :eek: ! But the whole truck looks kinda cool. I've never seen one before. It does look as long as an H2 in the pics.

good little write up.....

"If you hate the JK it?s probably because you?ve spent a good chunk of change on your TJ and a little too much time on opinionated and uninformed message boards. However, the real issue with this is the fact that you haven?t been behind the wheel. The new Wrangler is more capable off-road, more comfortable on- and off-road, and it?s less expensive than the previous model. After having driven the new Wrangler over a good portion of the Rubicon Trail, as well as through some mountain roads, we have a pretty good idea of what it can and can?t do. Here are some of the common complaints of the JK and the reality of each gripe.

Complaint: It?s too big.
Reality: Overall, the JK is just over 5 inches wider than the TJ. That?s only 2 1/2 inches (or about the thickness of your hand) on each side. We have yet to see a trail where this increase would stop you. If so, fold in the mirrors and let the flexible flares absorb some trail. If tight trails are in your future, get the two-door. Wanna comfortably bring your friends and family on reasonably difficult trails, get the four-door

Complaint: The plastic bumpers are stupid and weak.
Reality: So are the TJ?s. How many TJs are still hitting the trails or even the streets with the factory bumpers? Swap ?em out.

Complaint: The minivan 3.8L V-6 sucks.
Reality: The new V-6 makes its power at a slightly higher rpm than the retired 4.0L inline. Typically, you?ll find that you?ll drive the new engine about 750 rpm higher than the old one when on the highway. The 4.0L was a great engine, but even it has its downfalls with problems, such as cracked exhaust manifolds and a lean condition at wide-open throttle. The V-6 will still start in low-range First gear and idle up a hill. In our opinion, the 4:1 gearing in the Rubicon transfer case suits the V-6 better than the torquey inline. In the sand and mud, the higher-revving V-6 also seems to have an advantage.

Complaint: The new electric lockers suck.
Reality: The JK axlehousings, shafts, and gears are all stronger than the TJ?s. It?s true, when disengaged the rear JK Rubicon locker is open whereas the TJ?s is a limited slip. But we?ll take the strength and durability over the limited slip any day.

Complaint: The plastic front fenders suck.
Reality: When you bang ?em up they will be cheaper to replace than the TJ?s painted steel parts. Also, the JK fender is more likely to tear off than to cause collateral damage to the grille, tub, and internal structure like the TJs fenders. Interestingly, the JK is the first Jeep introduced where we were told by the marketing and design team that they took the aftermarket into consideration. To bring the price of the vehicle down, less expensive components were used in nonessential areas that they knew would be upgraded anyway. The bumpers are a perfect example of this. The JK could be a natural for tube fenders anyway.

Complaint: The JK CV driveshafts are garbage.
Reality: With any amount of lift it is likely that the front and rear JK driveshafts will need to be replaced with U-jointed units, even on the Rubicon models. However, all 4x4 JKs will have fixed yokes front and rear. Changing out the driveshafts on the JK will cost about as much as the slip-yoke eliminator kit (not including labor) and a rear CV driveshaft needed to properly lift some TJs.

Complaint: The mid-ship?mounted fuel tank won?t allow a long-arm lift kit.
Reality: You won?t need an aftermarket long-arm lift kit. The JK comes with up to 32-inch tires from the factory (Sahara and Rubicon models). Fitting 35s should only require 2?3 inches of lift. This will keep the suspension geometry in check without the complexity or expense of a long-arm lift kit.

Complaint: The anti-skid Electronic Stability Program (ESP) will interfere with my driving habits.
Reality: It can be disabled with the push of a button. With the ESP activated the JK will handle light years better than the TJ on snow, ice, and slick road surfaces, even if the TJ in question has the Rubicon?s limited-slip rear differential.

Complaint: I?m stupid. My TJ is still better.
Reality: The ?07 Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited feature reduced prices throughout the lineup by an average of $1,200 while adding an average of $1,800 in content when compared to the outgoing ?06 models. You get more of a better Jeep for less money. If you prefer the appearance of your ?06-and-earlier Wrangler that?s one thing, but better a TJ is not."

[KenP]

Moon, so what I read means if you want to go with 37's, you need new driveshafts and some other lift then the long-arm, correct?

That pic in front of the off road shop really shows it's clearance with the larger tires.

You dont need a long arm at all. It will be as simple as putting some new coils on the puppy, new shocks, and maybe, just maybe new driveshafts. From everything I've read you can do a 2 inch budget boost and fit the 35's with no issues. You might need a relocation bracket for the rear axle also.....

But not so wide as to need aftermarket flares.

37's would be great.......dont get me wrong........But overkill for what I want/need to do. That rig with 35's would be plenty capable.....:excited:

[BlueTJCO]

but I will not be doing just a budget boost. I will add new coils, new shocks, keep the stock control arms, and then just change up the rims. The underneath looks "fairly" skidded but I'm gonna cover up anything exposed and be good to go.

The TJ is sitting on jacks in the garage right now. I have a whole list of goodies that are being slammed in it for next summer......:popcorn:

[KenP]

I think I like the soft-top better. Easier to remove and you can just fold back half of it.

The half doors aren't available yet. Maybe just go with tube doors.

the soft top is inside the hard top. You don't have to have either/or. The soft top is mounted and folded down so you don't have to remove it to put the hard top on.

[KenP]

Ok, but why is there an option for the hard top and an option for both tops? Me too confused.

[KenP]

Elp. I'm bobbing....

[PARAGON]

Ok, but why is there an option for the hard top and an option for both tops? Me too confused.if you get both tops both are "mounted" The soft top is mounted and folded down on the fenders. If you were take the hard top off and tool around and get caught in a shower, you can pop the soft top up.

Basically, you can run both tops without having to fully remove the soft top, which is cool IMO.

[KenP]

So my question is, what is standard equipment? Hard or soft? I usually come hard, but drive around soft.:giggling: :giggling:

They also had a $2000 "market adjustment" on them.
