Re: Wrangler Unlimited
I think the key issue is how much you intend to off road, and weighing that
against your desire for a "family" vehicle. If you're not planning on doing
a lot of off road driving, go for the unlimited.
I think a great compromise is to find a low mileage 99 or 00 XJ (Cherokee).
It has a very good off road capabilities, availible aftermarket mods, and I
think the key thing is, 4 doors. I would guarantee that flipping seats
forward 3 or 4 times a day trying to pull out a child seat will soon become
a PITA. I have seen many of my friends and family struggle with a 2 door
vehicle and child seats. If my wife didn't have a WJ, I would consider
trading in my 02 TJ Sport in for an XJ.
just my $0.02

That pretty much ruins it for me. The 4X4 is more important than the child
transporter. We already have a vehicle for that, the Jeep would be for
pleasure, but useful if needed for transportation.
I have to have a standard. Stink.

Do you remember if the Unlimited have Selectract or Command trac? I
read about the Unlimited in the newspaper which said that the
Unlimited was longer but did not say why. If the extra length is to
give the Wrangler the Selectrac four wheel drive that would be really
great.
Another alternative would be a 99 or 00 used Grand.
