Before buying a JK,read this...
So I stumbled upon this site and after reading this I thought it was mostly spot on. What do you think?

Good article...except I have one problem with it. What's not safe about the Wrangler compared to another SUV? The roll bar keeps you from getting crushed should you roll over on the highway. I've got side airbags (I know this is not standard though), and it has a 5 star crash rating (at least frontal). This is the safest I've ever felt in a vehicle!!!!

Great read, mostly spot on, but it could use a little updating for the JK. The four-door carries five people (okay, it's helpful if some are small), has an amazingly nice ride (though still noisy), carries lots of cargo (compared to the two-doors). All JKs have pretty decent doors, and even a smidgen of luxury for those who insist (power door locks, windows). I think that carpet is standard now. "Base sound system is inadequate" should actually read "All sound systems are inadequate."

Take your padding off, it isnt a roll bar.....it is a "sports cage" and I highly doubt it would do much in a roll over.....BUT it does an AWESOME job holding my speakers up
