long arms

hardtop
4.0L

and a ton more shiz

or a new style JK Unlimited 4dr on 37s - (119" wheel base is huge).

 

[jfonze]

new JK on 37's. As long as its a Rubicon...

I've driven both, and they both have plus's and minuses, but for me 4drs is just way more practical & more my style....

 

[mbryson]

I'd take the Atlas and the 60s............Sounds like an UBERBITCHIN rig.....

 

[Brett]

Ditto on the 05

 

[bobdog]

I would take the 05 even if I did not think the 07s were the ugliest Jeeps ever (Yes even uglier than the 3Bs)

 

[BCGPER]

Call it what you want, 4 doors makes it a sedan........

An '05 is a minivan like yours. 2 door

(I think we'll end up with an '07 or '08 Wrangler for mom's runabout, though)

The new Unlimited has a 116" wheelbase, not 119, but no matter I would still take a 05, or 06 with the 103.5" wheelbase. The 07 has some nice features, but would even be nicer with a V-8.

19 MPG=runabout? I'll bet you'll change your mind..... Dont know what the claims are on the V6 LJ mileage yet, but it's a Jeep. 20 mpg tops? Runnabout my azz, better have a lot more fuel storage in em.

That's the same as her ZJ........ I ain't buying a new Grand. Them hit every branch in the tree on the way down and drive like a '94 Taurus. (If I want a Taurus, I'll buy one.) She can drive it for a few years and I'll 'adopt' it later.

 

[BCGPER]

That's twice today you've brought up the "T" word...... You hiding something??

I would go with the 4 door. Only way for one to work with the kids.

 

[Bart]

05 Unlimited with 60s, Atlas and long arm, hands down.

The fan in my Jeep is taking over my brain........... I WANT A FWD rental car.....(with a SWEET tranny)

 

[Brad]

'05, no question.

 

[iceyhrt]

I would go with the 05. Since I already own a built 05 rubi unlimited. It is an awesome machine.

 

[SICK99TJ]

I really would like both...but since i would want to beat the shiz out of it i would take the 60's and atlas..

[shortstraw8]

in my opinion i like the four doors but i wont own one till the are old as hell so im not afraid of rolling it i mean come on if you put a better front bumper on it and some flat fenders lockers and a winch that thing would rock it looks bad ass sitting there or just buy and old cherokee and make it into that cut the rear out shape it like a cj 7 rear end throw on the tail gate ur ready to rock and not afraid to roll. just my 2 cents or more.

 

[99RedTJ]

The 05 built the way it is, costs $65k so unless you can afford 65k to build a new jk built w/ the same set up would be bad ass but it needs a 4.7L v8.
