When I bought the JK our road, all 3.5 miles of it still wasn't paved. Silver is a pretty good color to hide the dirt so I went with it. Wouldn't ya know it they finally paved the road. So had I known I probably would have gone with a different color.....

Pick a 2 door Rubicon with soft top in white instead of 4 door Rubicon with hardtop in black. White hides scratches, and I rarely need the extra seats. Although when I go backpacking sometimes it's nice to sleep in the back instead of messing with a tent at midnight.

if you want a station wagon / hummer, that's fine, but don't tie it to the wrangler name.

At first when I read this, my thoughts were the only reason there's a 4 door Wrangler is due to a huge FUCK UP at Chrysler. However the FUCK UP pre-dates the JKU. So I guess if you guys want to program a terminator to go back and do something productive, I suggest programming it to go back and cut the BALLS off the executive who signed the order to obsolete and discontinue the XJ Cherokee - in order to make way for the Commander and Liberty.

... which led to two more FUCK UPS with plummeting sales.

... and the only reason a 4 door Wrangler exists to begin with.

Here we are ten years later, it worked itself out.. but they should call it a Cherokee.

Wow. Some unfriendly anger here. Can't we all be friends? The 4 door let's those if us with kids still drive a convertible doorless Wrangler every day and still haul the kids to soccer, t-ball etc then wheel trails on the weekends. No other vehicle like it. In my opinion the 4 door wrangler was the greatest decision ever made by Chrysler.

Cyber, what part of Ireland are you from? .. not surprising, I think you guys prefer manual transmissions in everything you drive in Ireland.

During my recent trip, the taxi cab driver had a Lexus with a manual shift... I couldn't believe my eyes.

Beautiful country.... and the most friendly people on the planet.
