Nice! I do like the JKs - they are extremely popular around where I live. It is nice because it definitely opens up the options of what you can do with it. I love my TJ, but it will never be a family car.

I don't have one, but I do know one person who has one and one person who has the same model but non-SRT. Horrible horrible gas mileage. You also don't get to enjoy the "cheap" factor of Jeeps with the SRT-8 because the parts and fluids are all "European" prices. Think $1000 for front brake calipers (Brembo), high-end synthetic oil required (like our Crossfires), etc. That said, the SRT is very fast and can hold its own with pretty much everything on the road, including ML AMGs and X5 Ms that are about three times more expensive.

Awesome! Nice rig. Love the red and the lift and beefy tires.

Agree with you completely. This is my first Jeep, I got it for dirt cheap and didn't know what to expect. It runs like a champ, gets me where I need to go in any weather, and doesn't drive me nuts when its dirty (like the SRT!). I hope to keep the TJ for a long time just as a utility type of vehicle since it is so low maintenance. Plus, the great things about Jeeps is that they always have somewhat of a decent resale.
