Traded in the Subaru.
Jeep
:Highlights:
2007 Jeep Wrangler X Unlimited Four Door (1 year newer than the Subaru)
96k Miles (600 less than the Subaru)
V6 3.8L 21MPG highway (2 mpg less than the Subaru)
Axle Gear ratio: 4.10 (same as Rubicon, fantastic!)
Dana 44 rear axle (very happy with that!), Dana 30 front axle
Automatic Trans
Four door extended length hard top (thanks for the recommendation, you were right)
Lots of towing capacity
Mint condition interior
34.36 inch tires that don’t rub at all in a turn…
1” Body lift At least a 3-4” suspension lift
Child seat latches
Very smooth ride for a jeep (the other pre-2006 wranglers I test drove made me not want to get one at all!)
Great handling – the suspension & body lift were done RIGHT on this Jeep, very professional job.
1st gear in 4 wheel low feels like one could drive up a brick wall
Plenty of space all over the engine, super easy self maintenance
Purchased a 1yr full coverage warranty
Only 1 previous owner
