to the OP.. I looked at every competitior to the JK that is availabe to me, The FJ, H3, and Xterra, I joined every forun each of those vehicles had.. the problem of the FJ, Cracking sheetmetal in the engine compartment ruined the FJ for me (That and my GF kept telling me they were hideous). The H3 was ruined for me because they make the H2 which I HATE. and the Xterra, I liked, but didnt like the fact that your supposed to remove the exterior bumper cover when wheeling it and the aftermarket was relatively small.
I chose the JK, love it, when I first bought it, I had 3 problems with it. All 3 were taken care of with my first visit to me dealer, and it has been flawless since. The problems JK's have are all minor and can be repaired with a simple parts change.
If you dont want a JK, dont buy one, if you do, well then buy one. If you are a true Jeeper, the JK should be the best Jeep you have ever owned. if your not, then buy something else.
Have a good one and good luck with your decision.

We have 32k on our JK and are satisfied overall.

Tim.............I have to say that every vehicle I've owned has had some quality issues , and I've owned a lot including sports cars that are not american made with that said. My present Rubicon has been my favorite ride thus far and this is my 4th wrangler, I love the extra room and 4 doors and it has never given me any problems ! mine is an 07 and I have kept it stock because I choose to.....is it capable ..by all means and is it strong enough for towing Yes my son it is! will it pass cars when towing ...DER I wouldn't do that even if I could, In one sentence I love my Jeep and would most def buy another one. I owned a nissan 350z roadster before this and kept it for 9 months ...nice little toy but ask anyone who owned one if they had issues with their tops.........Many did ....did I No! but that speaks the same for JKs they are not all bad they are not what you make them out to be. I really do Love my Rubi and although I don't do enough off roading....... as my daily driver it is everything I thought it would be and more sorry if this disappoints you but you really should just take one for a drive and you'll see how wrong you are.
