They are nice, but they have the wheelbase of a pickup-truck.

I know, to me you lose something Fundamentally CJ/Wrangler with the longer wheelbase

The 2 door JK's are growing on me more every day, I may even be able to get over  the minivan engine eventually

Actually I like the longer wheelbase of the JK 4 door rig.....gives you more room to carry long guns and more ammo....!!!!!

I do wish Jeep would bring back the "Scrambler" pickup though......I always thought those were pretty damn cool....especially with the top off and the windshield folded down.......!!!!

It wouldn't sell,just like the Scrambler didn't. Jeep remembers that sad fact.

The longer wheelbase is handy for some things, I just hate getting high centered.
My CJ-5 won't hold much gear, but it will haul my ass over some pretty rough terrain.

I like the Brute and the Scrambler, but after having a 4 door Tacoma with a bed size and cargo capacity similar to what a Scrambler would have, I'd pass.

I'll stick to a CJ-7 and a full-size 1 ton.

4-door JK wheelbase: 116 in
1985 Chevy CK1500 short bed wheelbase 117.5 in

a paltry 1.5" which in my book makes Tex'es comment valid.

FAIL.
The JK wasnt around until 2007 so please do not compare it to an older vehicle.

2007 chevy silverado half ton wheel base: Regular: 119 in (3,023 mm)
Extended & Crew: 143.5 in (3,645 mm)

NO NOT FAIL

He said pickup and I compared it to a pickup Speaking of epic cataclysmic FAIL WTF does an XJ have to do with anything? Did tex say Cherokee anywhere in his post? I compared to a pickup while you appearanly randomly stuck your finger in a parts catalog. Besides it's not like your mention of an XJ isn't a comparison to an older vehicle

Call me black why don't ya Mr Pot



even compared to your newer truck it's within 3 friggin inches of the truck vs the 20 inches to the 2door wrangler, and 10 to the XJ you mention

again making Tex'es comments completely valid
