Default what to buy??

Well,, I'm not happy about looking for another jeep,, see my post about the crash if you have questions on why I'm looking. I have X with the tow package, 4.10's so 2000# tow capacity, auto, air, height adj seat, cd/mp3 radio, and the 44 with trac-lock rear. Having issues finding anything I want without going to the rubi. I just don't want to spend that much a month on payment. How is the 3.73 for off road and highway. I'm going to go with 33" tires right out of the box this time. Any options I should get? When I bought mine it was the first 2dr that I found that didn't have electric windows etc. I hope the ins co give me KBB value for retail on my jeep,, as that will be 4-5k more than I owe..
Thanks,,
Steve
I'm off to see my Dr. now hoping for more x-rays and answers,,

He just said he doesnt want a rubi because of the payments.

And if you get 33s you wont have a horrible problem just going up big hills you will have to give it the gas. Besides that its just personal prefferance, you will prolly get alot better milage on it if you stick with that ratio

The 3.73's are just fine off road provided you are not super hard core rock crawling. As for on road, well it's a Jeep, on road performance doesn't matter.

Well,,, Jeeps hold thier value! After 22k and 14 months my jeep depreciated +$3.00. Thats right, its worth 3 dollors more 14 months later than I paid! I'll be getting my loan paid off and like 3k or so back. I think I might wait to see what comes up before I get a replacement.*** I'll save a $400 a month payment and ins. premium. That would give me a much better downpayment, maybe a rubi. When do the 09's come out??
Thanks for all your well wishes too..
Steve
