Did you miss your turn on the interstate and have to turn around on the side of the road?  Hahaha. Love the anti FJ crowd. Do your research. I did 4 days in death valley. Saw 1 other car. A jeep. Went on all the hairiest trails (More like goat paths). I love jeeps, especially the 4-door rubicons when done up, and I love my FJ. I can, and have taken anything a jeep can handle. A-Track is an amazing option. Mines a manual, full time 4wd. Rear locker. 4.0 v6. Funny man.
Just playing man. I almost bought one for the wife, but she wanted an explorer. The only bitch I have with them is the side blind spots. |

lol. I can show you ones the other way. Tires, height, driver, etc. lol. The blinds spots aren't really noticeable. I heard the same thing when researching mine. Like I said. I do love jeeps though too. Here: I'm pretty sure when he's stuck, and can't move, then all of a sudden comes out like cake, he just turned on the A-Track. I've done the same thing.

You already have a Rover, why not upgrade to a Land Cruiser. Not as capable as a Jeep but far more comfortable, luxurious and roomy (Seats 8). They tow 8500# and do 0-60 in the low 6 second range so they are plenty peppy.

The Jeep Wrangler is getting a 'refresh' for the 2014-15 models. This should include a Diesel engine, the same as going in the Diesel Ram 1500s.

This is my daily driver. I've had it for 3 years and about 70k miles. I regularly drive it on road trips and to a hunting lease in Texas (an 11 hour drive). I have 2 kids ages 11 and 6 and have no issues lugging them and all of their sports gear around town. My Jeep has never been in the shop and I do all scheduled maintenance on time. All that being said I have modified this vehicle quite a bit to make it a better daily driver. The most important mod is the gears. I replaced the factory 3:73s with 5:13s. I felt that the factory gears were terrible for highway driving, the 5:13s are just fine. All in all I love my Jeep and plan to continue to use it as my daily driver, I have no complaints. YMMV. PS... If you hang heavy bumpers and lights on your Jeep and run 35" tires your gas mileage WILL suck. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff207/kevinnagle/Jeep.jpg Wow. Nice. I haven't noticed the replacement fender flares before. That is really an eyesore in my opinion. The new models look fat and bulgy, full of that horrendous grey/black plastic. Same with the Toyota FJ above. Too much terrible plastic. Yours, on the other hand, looks fantastic. (This coming from a K5 owner, steel is real  )

Based on diesel Wrangler availability worldwide, the diesel will be available in every model except the Rubicon (the front Dana 44 probably doesn't jive with the added weight/displacement of a diesel). I have a sneaky hunch that the US-spec diesel will be available in the Rubicon though, American consumers tend to be option-happy and it pays to have more options available in the higher-end models. |

I've got a '12 four door Rubi it pulls my 18.5ft boat without a problem. It's got the new engine in it, so that's why it pulls nice. For off roading forget about it, it's a Jeep
the gas milage isn't the greatest about 17-18 but I didn't buy it for that. If you get one you'll love it.

You can also look at the NRA member discount program and TrueCar as well. If I'm going to spend that much on a vehicle, it will be built the way I want it and all the options I want.

No sweat. It probably has a good 400-500 pounds added to it. I think most of that weight comes from the rear tow bar and oversize tires. It's really nice to have when the weather is bad! |

I bought a manual hardtop '13 JKU Sport in September. Paid a little more than I should have. I've got about 10k miles on it now. Just got back from a 1200 mile road trip yesterday, and I've had it out for some moderate off-roading and in the snow a few times. I love it, does exactly what I ask of it. It's got enough room, mileage averages around 18 mpg, acceleration with the new engine, 3.73 and the stick is good, goes anywhere I point it, rides fine. No complaints about comfort or wind noise. Bought a soft top off a buddy that I'll be putting on when the weather heats up. I haven't really done any mods besides some lights, have a height issue with the garage where I'll be keeping it so I can't really do a lift or tires.
I couldn't imagine a third row seat would be safe or comfortable to ride in or get in to, but I have zero complaints and wouldn't hesitate to use it to haul three buddies around with their junk for a weekend camping or a range trip. |

No sweat. It probably has a good 400-500 pounds added to it. I think most of that weight comes from the rear tow bar and oversize tires. It's really nice to have when the weather is bad! For tires, are you using aggressive off road all the time for on road driving? Or are you using on/off road tires? I'm running on/off road tires, somewhat of an in between. They do no one thing particularly well but I can squash 30k out of them without an issue. They are surprisingly quiet on the expressway. I drive about 5k miles a year currently, so tires would last me a bit. Once I do get the Jeep, I do plan on a few road trips as well.
Very cool! I hope you have a blast!

The stock fenders are a weakness. One of my friends lost one rear fender, and another lost both rear fenders at mudfest on Saturday. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/62740_2974701463192_322219386_n.jpg Wow. Will not buff out.
I just don't care for the almost cartoonish proportion of the stock flares. Reminds me of how the Avalanche used to come all decked out in gray plastic, slowly turning white and shitty looking. That's a $100 part. I won't say "who cares" but at least it ain't a $400 part before painting. The guy that lost both rear fenders was kinda happy about it. He said it saved him the trouble of removing them for aftermarket fenders. |
