I’m Now A Jeeper

I am now the soon-to-be proud owner of a 4-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara! w00t! I got it in Jeep Green with a Khaki hard-top (but it also comes with a black soft-top), and this is how Jeep's website renders it:

I can't find a larger image, but oh well. Also, the khaki top isn't quite that color — so who knows what Jeep was thinking as far as their web images go. Anyway, I am totally stoked about getting this, and there's a really good chance I'll be able to pick it up from the dealer tomorrow.

I got it loaded to the max, too, and I'm particularly looking forward to the built-in GPS and 30GB hard drive for music storage. I also like the idea that I can take off the doors, the top, and lower the front windshield for a super-convertible. I was pleasantly surprised that I fit into the thing, too, and I'm actually driving with the seat pulled forward a bit. I was also surprised that it drove as smoothly (or more smoothly, even) than my Titan, especially since the Jeep is 4-wheel drive.

Now I have to begin planning for a stereo redo, though it's nice that it already has a built-in sub...

I bought an 07 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and at 70 miles the engine blew… they towed it 100 miles back to the dealership…fixed it… and at 700 miles the engine blew again.  Needless to say I got rid of it.  I hope they fixed their problems.  Sorry to discourage but It was quite of the annoying.

I had a 30 gig hard drive blow a few weeks ago. We just replaced it.

I think what you got, Scott, was a lemon. Sorry it goofed on you, but at east it seems your instance was in the minority.

I find that 4-wheel drive SUVs drive much more smoothly and solidly than 2-wheel drive SUVs of the same model.

This is why I prefer the 4-wheel drive despite the loss of MPG.

Perhaps it has something to do with having more suspension hardware to make sure that power is applied to the wheel and to keep it on the road.
