It's unfortunate they did away with the 4.0. However for 2012 they ditched the 200 hp 3.8 V6 and upgraded to a 285 hp 3.6 V6. Much better engine.

I hate the circle headlights, looks light someone shot the front with a deer slug and threw in a pair of headlights. I have thought this about Libertys too since I was 10 years old(hated the front end since I same them when I was 8).

It's just to electronic for me, if you're in a desert cool, but i live 2000 miles away from the desert, I'm out sinkin my jeep in 4 feet of water and mud, and beatin the living **** out of it, I just don't see a jk standing up to the kinds of things I expect from a jeep.

Give me the the cash to buy a used rubi, and I won't do it. I'll use that cash to build a way better xj. Xj's aren't as common as jk's around here, therefore way cooler (to me). I appreciate the new wrongler with the pentastar..but...I'm just not THAT guy.

Indeed.
I love the JK and if i could afford it I'd probably buy one over the XJ, it the 4 door variety. Its just a better stock vehicle for bombing around trails. for a harcore wheeler I'd spend the money on a TJ better equipped.
