LOL  the old guy couldn't handle the anemic engine or the most possible worse thought out drive train ever put in a vehicle that was "Trail Rated".  When I come back it will be a pre 07 or post 11 Jeep, don't mean to offend any JK owners and I suspect there is a huge difference in a Rubi but I believe for real Jeep enthusiast the Sport is not the way to go. That said I did have a ball of fun with mine and if I could have two or three vehicles I would have loved to keep it

Do you still have the M8000 Warn? What are you asking?  Does it have synthetic or wire cable?

yeah, the jk's are hard to drive when you're used to the bottom end grunt of a 4.0L... or any other engine for that matter. maybe you should have bought the TJ in the first place, oh well, theres always next time:)

 Yup I think I should have stuck with my first instinct and bought the 06 Rubi, but the bastards swayed me with the 5 year warranty, I just never listen  ::)
I have to admit though I am REALLY going to miss the JK the first time I need to turn around in the bush or go up a steep bank . 4*4 trucks are OK in the bush but no comparison at all. I decided to sell my 1/2 ton (anybody want areal good truck) and trade the  Jeep for a 2500 Ram to put a sled deck on it. I now need 2 acres to turn around (sigh)

 "Give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around"
