Post by: TJ54 on October 10, 2006, 09:54:55 PM: I was at crowfoot tonight. I saw the new 07, unlimited, Black. Not sure if I like the new style. It sure is big. Looked underneath, they have done a much better job with the t-case/tranny skid, it was a lot longer and tucked up closer to the frame than the TJ. If the short wheel base is tucked up as well and with stock 32's that should be pretty nice, I think. The sales dude was not sure when the 2 door wranglers would be in.

Post by: yjcanibul on October 10, 2006, 11:30:21 PM: good to know as I go by crowfoot every night - noticed the tj's were dwindling lately , I like the 4door pics, seen some lift ads already which look nice, but gotta see one up close ...

this might be the end of the canibul era as I run parts off of xj's, yj's and rubi tj's, not sure what I can use/afford off a jk yet ...

Post by: RckyMtnTJ on October 11, 2006, 12:01:33 AM: They definitely have a Rock Red X in stock. Looks pretty good. Although I would think they will look a little off with the doors off. Its definitely not in my budget right now. Maybe a used one in a few years. hmmm

Post by: redbull on October 11, 2006, 12:29:42 AM: I think they did an excellent job of modernising the look. We'll soon see how it works.
Title: '07 JoKe's
Post by: BlackYJ on October 11, 2006, 07:28:15 AM: They had one out at Apex and the GM was driving it on the trails. He said he LOVES the extra length but it is a lot wider and it takes some getting used to.

Post by: Mudhawg on October 11, 2006, 07:57:46 AM: My buddy tim who works at renfrew was out test driving the 07 4 door yesterday... he said that they drive like cars more than anything... they no longer come with MTR's but now with BFG Mud Terrains... The new jeeps also come with optional power door locks/power windows... now ure probobly asking well how do the doors comes off? theyre is just a little wiring harness you unclip and ta da no doors...
Title: '07 JoKe's
Post by: Bnine on October 11, 2006, 08:52:32 AM: Well at least we know why they discontinued the libby.

They needed the front ends for the new "jeeps" :wink:

Way to hummerized for me, but who knows, few years down the road maybe I'll forgive Mercedes for modernizing, hummerizing, plasticizing, accessorizing, yuppi-izing, and all out basterdizing my favorite vehicle.

:D :D :D

Post by: LWB SCOTTY on October 11, 2006, 10:18:18 PM: Saw the new 4 door tonight and I really like it. But this is coming from a guy who wheels/daily drives a LWB Samurai, so I'm partial to the long look.

Post by: Mudhawg on October 11, 2006, 10:20:04 PM: I wonder if they are gonna produce the Gladiator now?

Title: '07 JoKe's
Post by: triver525 on October 12, 2006, 07:58:11 AM: I read a press release saying that the Gladiator is on hold indefinitely. Too bad, I love it too.

Post by: yjcanibul on October 12, 2006, 08:00:38 AM: sure hope someone takes one for a spin and posts, a 4+ page article ( 7 rubi's all config's taken to africa ) in jpmag implies its an improvement over the tj rubi in several areas, but the new eng raised an eyebrow as not having any grunt down low with lotsa rpm required and too small for the 4dr model ...

Post by: RckyMtnTJ on October 16, 2006, 08:07:48 PM: They've got a 2 door here in town now. Didn't see it up close. Looks good from a distance though. I'd take one.

Post by: stuffed_in_a_locker on October 20, 2006, 08:16:53 AM: I went to courtesy last night. i bought a black wrangler unlimited rubicon. i get it in a few weeks and then i'm going to work on the thing. i'll make it look much like the green one in the pic above. ;-) the only downside is that now i have to sell my TJ and i dont want to but thats life.

1. Evidently DC in their infinite wisdom have decided to 'integrate' everything. That being said, you used to be able to just throw a hardtop on, plug in the harness for the rear defrost, wiper, and it'd work. That's not the case anymore. Upon installation, the local hack (I mean tech), must 'reflash' the computer to 'accept' that it's got a hardtop and the assorted new goodies. Problem is, the computer did NOT accept the flash. Various managers of different persuasions were all on the phone with DC's tech support to get the issue resolved. Evidently the computer says "Uh, that option didn't come from the factory, you cannot add that". Anyway, that was Friday, still not resolved although I DO have the Jeep. I just don't have any rear junk working.

Title: '07 JoKe's
Post by: Jaguar on October 24, 2006, 02:13:06 PM: Well, I finally saw one! I was waiting in line outside Mother's Music (for a Vinnie Paul meet and greet), when I saw a black 4 door JK drive by. It didn't look too bad. My buddy thought it was an H3, and to be honest, it really did look like an H3 from a distance. If I am ever in the market for a 4 door vehicle, I'd definately pick one up. I wouldn't take a 2 door model over a TJ though.... I'm guessing it came from Eastside, as it was less than a block away. I wish I got a picture of it, but by th etime I got the camera out, the KJ had passed....... And then it started to hail.... :(

Regardless, I keep meaning to head over to eastside with the camera...... There are like a billion pictures of them floating around, but a few more can never hurt!

Stuffed, if ya don't mind me asking, how much do they sell for and what kinda payments are we looking at?

mine fully loaded rubicon Unlimited 4 door with painted fenders to match (extra) with the gps (extra $2,500) was around $38,000. I put down $15,000 on it so my payments are like $230/month. I dont know what they would be with zero down but I'd guess around $500. I dont acctually get it for another couple of weeks but i will post pics as soon as i get it.
