It's a tradeoff if you ask me, topless for 4 doors. I always have people ask if they can throw extra gear or passengers in my XJ, sicne they have more room. But good luck with the Sahara

I have never been a Wrangler or TJ fan, XJ for me. It mostly stems from buying numerous XJ's for pennies when a junk, wore out Wrangler like a 90 or 92 goes for $5000 around here. They just simply aren't worth that much for me to say "I own a Wrangler/TJ" etc.

Blasphemy!!! You shall be burned at the stake!!! Stoned to death for your Jeep sins!!!

Lol. Nah at least you didn't go the route of these other thread

"Hey guys, been fun, but I need better milage, sold the xj to buy a honda"

I want a TJ eventually, prices around here are too high (private and car lots) I think when I finally "build" my XJ I'll put it up for trade on a TJ I'll have less in the XJ than what the TJ will be worth.

i have 2 tj's, both mild lift and 33's. love them just as much as my xj.
if i'm doing tough trails, it's all about the xj, but if i'm just trail riding with some noobs, i'll take the tj, the wifey usually brings the other.

also, when i'm just bombing around town, it's the tj, bonus with no top or doors when the sun is shining.

but if i really feel nostalgic, i'll take the ******.

bonus if your sahara has a d44...
