Re: 4.0L vs. 3.7L
Yep. That said, we do own a vehicle with seat heaters and a DVD. But it
doesn't have 20" rims and it has a deisel V-8.

Re: 4.0L vs. 3.7L
Matt and Jeff,
WOW! Didn't mean to cause such a comotion (did I spell that right?)
Anyway, I am not an engine aficianado (did I spell that one right,
too?) BUT love the Wrangler and my luck with the I-6... I want both...
so I guess I will be considering a 05 or 06 Rubicon come next spring.
In your opinions, is the Rubicon overkill for someone who isn't going
to crawl it over boulders?
Thanks for your responses... it's awesome to see such passion! But
can't we all just get along???? Later guys!
By the way, thanks for setting me straight about the exact engine that
is going in the truck...

Re: 4.0L vs. 3.7L
Quite possibly, but if you aren't going to get a Rubicon, do get a TJ with
the Dana 44 rear end, and avoid the 3.07 ratio
