I really love my jeep! I will never trade it....

Someone chopped two jk's and made a 6 dr. Since then, I wanted one. It looked factory. Saw it on Spike TV one Sunday morning a while back.

You really think your xj will hang with a srt-8?? Are you serious or delusional??
Bone stock 05 srt8 Jeeps run like 13.5 1/4 times. If your xj runs close that good please tell me how u do it?!

the 4 door jk seemed like a good idea to us too...now we have matching jeeps, and the jk is the "daily driver" that is slowly getting taller than my xj hahahah....however you cant go wrong with those 24v cummins, very good choice
