Jeep in the past couple of years sure has changed their models and the next
couple sure do not look any different. I guess change is inevitable I just
hope they just don't totally hose things up. I can't remember when so many
changes have been made in the Jeep line.

Usually Jeep would just tweak things but from what I have seen and read for
the future this is just the beginning I just hope Jeep brings their concept
pick-up truck into production that I saw at last years auto show.

But, from their trends I think they are concentrating on the grocery getter
line, trying to compete with Tahoe, Explorer and Hummer, while makeing major
changes to the Wranglers. The next couple of years should be interesting.

It makes whatever you have now all the more valuable, sentiment and
collector wise. Just think, I have one of the limited run of rectangular
headlight short wheel base Jeeps! With overhead valve engine, and leaf
springs on all four corners, you won't see that in your dealer show room
again. I'll bet that vacuum thingy on the front axle is a real curiosity by
now too!

I asked my youngest daughter what Jeep she wanted when she was of legal age
to drive. First words were "not one of the new ones". She likes my CJ8, YJ
and 89 GW. Sadly this very well ,may be the direction DC is taking Jeep. I
do like the concept truck. If it is built we'll just have to wait and see.

So with the '07 Wrangler being drastically changed, how long will it take
for a "mint" '06 Rubi to become a collectors item?

If I had unlimited wealth, I might just purchase one and store it for 10
years.
