another way to look at it, stretch the dollar.

I actually own a 2012 and prefer my supercharged 2007 over it. For all those that throw out the power problem it is a lot cheaper to find a 07-11 JK with low miles and add a supercharger than it is to buy a new 2012. You have a lot of money left over for mods. If I was to decide to mod the wife's JK with exactly everything on my 07 we are talking $46,000.
I love both my jeeps but if I wanted a 3rd I would buy a low mileage used 07-10 and mod the piss out off it.
To each his own.

Honestly, maybe i'm a bit oldschool but...
M/Y 2003 Rubicon was the best Jeep ever built in the tradtional sense.
Sure the JKs are more capable out of the box.
Take the top off and cross some deep water and you will quickly see why drive by wire is a miserable setup.
When it comes down to getting stuff dirty or wet, low end grunt, and just overall being a Jeep the TJ has the JK beat hands down.
08-10 JK's would be the best M/Y JK IMHO
Too many unknowns about the 3.6 just yet.
'11s dont have a tuner available.

Yeh, the 3.8 handles freeway better than the 4.0, but when it come to that beautiful low end crawling... 4.0 all day.
