ok bash us JK guys all you want i remeber when the YJ TJ came out and all the CJ guys were like whimpie ass jeeps... I like my JK just fine... AC nice seats 6 speed 3,8L the list goes on and on.. even had a TJ owner saw that my JK was the first one he liked.. then had another TJ owner saw that he liked it too so either i have the only JK that looks good or the TJ YJ and CJ owners are coming around.... my dana 44 rear and 30 front have done great for me so far Knock on wood,, just my 2cents after being up for 18hrs so far..

Nope you read it right. Too bad its a JK.  :P

If I liked the appearance of a JK thats what I would have purchased. (No doubt they are trail worthy, I have seen plenty of JK go more places than mine could) But to each his own. ;)

Not bashing anyone, just posting my opinion. Love to have an electric/gas TJ.

Of all the Jeeps ever made, the TJ has set the bar! If not for the TJ, the JK would not have been the way it is. Hard to make perfection better. ;) But all Jeeps are worthy.
I've grown tired of this.

Lets not get into a JK vs. TJ fight again.


But I think that an EV Jeep is a great idea. To have that much torque instantaneously is awesome. Plus the fact that there is an electric  motor on each wheel, there is no need for lockers, no diffs to catch on rocks, and no need to worry about driveshaft angles. But I do see some cons as well. There is no longer a low range and you can't regear when you get larger tires. But then again with it being an electric motor, there might not be a need.

No debate here. With the addition of an an all coil over suspension... it did set the bar.

Nothing quite like being able to simply.................................................get it done.   I love hearing the word "wheelbase" grumbled under someones voice occasionally on trail rides.  :D

One person comes to mind.  :D
