I traded my '06 GC WK SRT8 for my '12 Rubi. I can say one thing, the JK gets a lot more compliments. Unfortunately most people had no idea what the SRT8 was. I luved the SRT8, just wanted a change, & I wasn't impressed w/the WK2's specs. The SRT8 has gobs of instant power, handles great, & brakes great. It only has about ~7" of ground clearance. The '06-'10 are basically the same, mostly cosmetic changes made in '08(& radio). If I was buying one I'd try & get a stock one, or get an extended warranty if its modded. JMO.

Well I really love my rubi but I don't have the time or money to wheel it or upgrade it. Also my payments are a little high. Another reason is that I have always wanted something fast. I love mustangs but I know that is not a daily driver. So with the SRT8 I have best of both worlds. Fast and AWD for bad weather.
If you drive it much and have fun in it, the fuel costs may eat up your payment savings.
I recently bought my wife a 2012 Cherokee with the 3.6. I much prefer the power of my Wrangler of course, but hers is fairly peppy if one is willing to keep the RPM's up there. I can imagine the Sport mode with the tap shift would be a blast with a V-8 in there.

if you're buying new then go ahead. Buying used with 60,000 - 80,000 is crazy, everyone of all ages beat the balls at these trucks see it all the time where I live. When you get that SRT8 it is going to be full of worn out retired parts. Think carefully my friend.
