One thing is for sure.... I purchased my very first Jeep last year. A 2010 2dr JK. Fun, Fun, Fun...I wish I got one 30 years ago. I'm 54 years old and love my Jeep. The 4 dr tows 3000lb. Don't even think, get it. I just lifted mine 2in for future 33 tires.

I'm on my second Wrangler. My TJ was an 01 and I just bought my 2011 this past Saturday. I couldn't be happier.

I'm on my third and each one that I get seems to get better. I got my '07 Sahara for my wife and I love driving it. I would suggest a hard-top whatever you decide to get.

I have a 2011 Rubicon Unlimited, and love it. I had a 09 "X" 2-dr, and I would never go back to that style, as the 4-dr gives you so much more room and the JK seems to be more stable to me. The towing capabilities are improved as well. I love my Jeep and my wife and I have a great time in it.

Can't beat it but be prepared. You will be addicted for life. Once you have one, you will have many, but I would not have it any other way.

Same advice as all other posters. We are fairly new to the jeep world, and I would love to get a 2012 model when they come out.

Same as above, love my Jeep! The 4 door is great. My 2010 has the tow package with the 3.73's and I use it to tow my tent trailer in the summer (1700 lbs) and have no issues.
