:chug::thumbsup:
Thanks now just have to convince the :wifey: and myself that the cost of a full cage is worth the expense to remove the B-pillar for a better look. :)

From an engineer's perspective, is an aftermarket full cage safer on the street than the factory safety cage? I would assume it is for most off road roll overs, but how about high speed impacts with...

That is cool! The publicity and magazine pics did not show that those are doors. Neat! But those seats look like something stolen from a Disney World ride.

The doors won't be cheap, but they are...

Exactly what I am thinking. :wifey: wants the kids to have some side protection in back. Can't disagree with her too much. Will put other carpool parents at ease too.

I am thinking just rears for the kiddos, so might splurge on the Mopars. Could keep them on all summer with uppers for rainy days and the soft pickup topper look. But yours look like a great option...

Are those MOPAR doors or knock offs? I need some for the rear at least.

I got my '13 JK Unlimited for a touch under 30. Sport, not Rubi or Sahara though. I bet after Labor Day, JLs will be selling well under MSRP. So high 30s for a lightly equipped Rubi or Sahara, low...

Was looking at an '06 TJ Unlimited Rubicon w 110K mile a few months ago. MSRP was $29,500, bet the invoice was $25K. Guy was asking $19K, and got it in three days. Silly.

Yup, silly prices, still 35-55% of original MSRP, but five years ago they seemed to be 45%-70% of MSRP. Silly how...

JL prices will settle in 18 months. I suspect that JKs will hold value for years to come, just as TJs did for the first 5+ years after the JK was introduced. But five years from now, value will take...

XJs seemed to have gotten cheaper relative to inflation as the years went on. Shoot, my 2001 Limited was $2K cheaper than my 1989 Laredo, similarly equipped. By now, if they had kept building the...

You wouldn't have much to see on the iPhone if the government's DARPA-NET hadn't come first.

Yeah, but our first 4.0 cooling system bit the big one. 1980s technology had tons to wish for, but it led to what great engines we have today. :chug:

Goes for a first gen S-10 as well. OBD-II has eliminated simplicity, but I have to say my JK is more reliable than the XJ was at this point. (Knock on wood) But I have a heavy foot, so body on...

Yeah, relative to a CJ/YJ/TJ, they are silent. Compared to a Mercedes M-class they are a little loud. Compared to the Bentley SUV I rode in a few weeks ago, JKs are like being in a tornado.
