Re: General Comment
For serious and semi-serious trailing here out west, a narrow body is
usually advantageous and sometimes necessary. I notice the '07 will be
wider. Seems to me that the serious rock-crawler people might shy away
from the newer ones.
Jeeps were meant to get back in to where others couldn't and I hate to see
that change.
On the other hand, I think my '04 Ruby may not depreciate as fast as it
might have otherwise.

Re: General Comment
I think the answer probably is that the lawyers want the vehicle made more
stable on-road to lessen the likelihood of rollovers. They (corporate
lawyers) have no real interest in the lessening of the off-road utility.

Re: General Comment
I was gone those years except for a couple trips home so I don't know the
history in depth. I did drive it once to the airport as was impressed at
the road manners of the AWD.
My Dad drove 30-35K miles a year and was good about scheduled maintenance so
it wasn't the cost that bothered him as much as the unreliability
I seem to recall him saying after a breakdown (No Start) and tow to the AMC
dealership they would do "a tune up" and then he would be good again for a
while when it would happen again.
Did these things have a Crank Sensor?
I'll send him an e-mail and ask what he recalls..
