@kiopi94 it is if you are in a Jeep!! haha

@JSSJeepin Plus, more parts are made for the TJ because it is the off road Jeep, arguably off road vehicle of chose, because it is simple, has one of the best motors jeep has ever made (4.0 liter). The JKs have that 3.6 liter. I have driven one to me they feel under powered. Hey im not trying to bash JKs i really do like them i think they are a sweet rig. But I know the TJ will be the Jeep most serious guys pick.
-
@JSSJeepin i disagree. The JKs and TJs are both very capable rigs, and yes you do have a point that CJ5s and 7s have leafs, and YJs and XJs leafs in the rear. A leaf wont give as much suspension travel as a coil, but when you lift a TJ or JK with the 4 wheel coils, it shifts the weight weird on rocks. I own a TJ and an XJ and i have done some off roading with some people in a club. There is a CJ5 that keeps right up with us. One person actually wants to put leafs on his TJ. Feels more stable.

How could you not want one of these!

@NotoriousJam Hardly. The YJ couldn't even keep up with a stock TJ, let alone a JK.
The JK has more suspension travel, more ground clearance, better angles and real traction control which makes it far better than a TJ, which the YJ is leagues behind.
While the Wrangler may not be as simple as a toothpick anymore, it will wheel circles around a CJ, and make a YJ and TJ sweat.

@DX721 You mean you want weak frames that rust to pieces, steering boxes mounted with bubble gum, carbs made from carboard and emissions systems made of spaghetti, suspensions from oxcarts and electricals that make Lucas look like Einstein? No thanks, I'll keep the JoKe.

@pudgeya1 Jeep Wranglers have had lever operated transfercases since the dawn of time, and they still do. The rest of your comment has -0- credibility.

I just bought a roached out 1963 Willy's CJ5. It sits right next to my 2004 Rubicon in the garage. It doesn't run at the moment, it's ugly as sin, and it's beat to hell, but I love it. I'm considering a ground up restoration back to stock including the F134 Hurricane engine. I plan on a complete YouTube video series and posting it on my website as well so everyone can follow along. Once complete, I intend on wheeling it at our Jeep club events.

This was my very first vehicle. Granted, I bought it in 2001. But how I wish I never sold it. I don't have any of the option here though, air conditioning! Seriously. My Jeep was a simple buggy, no options, with a big ass 304.

@deweys Yep, I think that we all have regrets about at least one that we let go... I know that I do too.

This video comfirms my feelings that the only wrangler I want is a two door. I know everyone doesn't feel this way, but to me the two door is the iconic "Jeep" and part of the lineage and history that dates all the way back to the world wars. I may be alone on this, but I see the Unlimited as more of a stretch limo that accomodates the SUV frenzy and not the true icon. To have a real Jeep, you have to accept it's flaws and impracticality.

@NemeanLion You bring up some good points that I agree with (after all, I do drive a small two door Wrangler with two kids car seats that fill up the rear so much so that if I go grocery shopping with them I have to take everything out before I can tilt the seat forward..) but I'm glad that there's a four door for families. And anything that helps sell jeeps to future generations and keeping the brand going is good. Not saying you're wrong but they're STILL the representative of the modern icon!
