Looking at a 4 door. Lot of highway driving mixed with pipeline work. Rock to mudholes and everything in between. Package to look at? Rubicon ( and yes I've owned one) Buy the cheap one and fix it up? Your going to spend money regardless 
Real world mileage? Wait a couple of years and get the diesel? No |

I like my Rubicon. If I wasn't going to wheel it a lot, i'd probably go Sport or Sahara. I'm getting 15 mpg around town and not much better on the interstate with 35's and 3.73's. |

07 JK 4 Door with manual.
3 inch lift 305 75/16's (34 inch tire). I get 17 mpg. The soft top sucks on the highway. Get a hardtop and buy a soft top for summer. The hard top is over 2k to replace and an aftermarket soft top is under $500. I love my jeep! I don't rock crawl it, so the manual is fine. I do most of my off road in the dessert, and it is set up for that. I like the idea of a base model because there is so much aftermarket for JK's I don't really see what the Rubicon offers that you won't replace anyway. Also, black jeeps look like shit with brush scratches. I have to plasti dip my jeep once or twice a year. Get a white jeep. |
