I heard that there will be no wind noise from the soft top on the 09 models.

I am happy to hear they are bringing back an orange variant, that baby poo green (rescue me from my diaper) had to go (sorry toad). And the addition of more cargo nets/storage is great. I am tired of all of my kids sh*t rolling around on the seats and floor. Now if I can just get them added to my '08.
My wife has a 07 Commander, (I hate it) how much longer will they build them??

That would be Nice,I guess time will tell.I went to my Dealer Last week for service and asked about an 09 Rubi. I thought about trading in my 2007.I would like to know if I can swap out my Lift from my 2007 Unlimited X to the Rubi? If it can be done I will probably Think of changing over to the Rubi.
I have to get in touch with Rancho regarding the Suspension.
