I saw two of these set up with 4"+ suspensions and 35's at Moab, they looked
fabulous. Stock, to me they just look like, well...no good.

Just like solid axles, the automotive press thinks an old inline iron 6cyl
is a dog. Problem is the millions on the road running faithfully for
hundreds of thousands of miles, whereas the potyential aluminum V6
replacements are junk at low mileages, and cost a fortune to rebuild.

Re: Any info on redesigned Wrangler for '06?
I had the opportunity to talk with a "Jeep engineer" during the Moab Easter
Safari. She said she was not allowed to talk about future projects. She did
say they were looking at a 10 year life for the TJ. When I asked her point
blank was the new TJ going to have solid axles or not she just shrugged her
shoulders. Reading her body language did not make me optimistic about the
future of Jeep. Just look at the new Grand Cherokee and Liberty, both with
independent front suspension.
But I'm not worried, my 98 TJ is just a baby. It should last at least another
20 years and by then it will be a classic.
