Oh, and there is a lower priced JK on craigslist, but the ad is poorly done, and we had to request pics that are not super clear. Over an hour away. I burned all afternoon tuesday only to have someone buy the jeep she wanted as we waited in the dealership.

Beware of the 3.8L JK's. They will magically start losing a ton of oil.

We had a mostly stock Rubicon JK on 37's at Moab and there wasn't anything we couldn't go through. Way more comfortable and day to day usable then the two doors.

There were quite a bit of mods on the TJ on 37's but we were able to go up and down Hell's Gate in it without much problems. The 4.0l has been extremely reliable.

Entrance to Hells gate.

The economics of it changed our mind. 9 years newer than that red TJ and only $2,000 more. Plus, most everything I read would suggest JK for her particular use. Are there pills to increase patience?

1 quart per 1k miles according the manual is okay

Pretty much why I have a V8 in mine. late 07 to earlier 08 builds are the ones who are susceptible to this.

You have to go long arm on a TJ to get 37's, JK's already have a mid arm that works well
