The longest and best relationship Ive had |

Summary: I bought my 2004 LJ in September of 04 after an 8 month mistake of a "practical" sedan. I knew I wanted another Wrangler and searched out my girl. From the moment I got in her I loved her. She had a quieter ride and more stability than previous Jeeps I owned and the extra ten inches has been a huge asset over the past 13 years. The first thing I did was add a three inch body lift to accommodate bigger tires for off roading to get to those campsites that are a little off the beaten path, but not so far up the trail that you have to haul everything on your back (I camp, I don't hike). Betty is at 116K miles, she has been stolen three times - and she keeps coming back. I replaced her soft top last year after one of her excursions with a thief, and I just had to replace the starter. Other than routine maintenance the only thing that Betty doesn't like to give me is cold air (the AC broke in 2009 and I haven't fixed it), but I think that's because she likes to go topless. I just shipped her from Atlanta to Seattle to get some of that PNW life going on and I look forward to keeping her for many more adventures. Strengths: durability, simplicity, strength, power, and overall badassness Weaknesses: Other than my weakness for my Jeep love and the appeal to car thieves the only issues I had was no aux port in the factory stereo and the factory subwoofer needed to be replaced after a couple of years - and that AC. |

Summary: I finally had to retire my old high mileage daily driver '83 CJ-7 and found a very clean 2006 Rubicon Unlimited to replace it. I really don't like the newer JKs. I live off a dirt road in the boondocks and a Jeep is much more than just a boulevard cruiser here. From the start I missed the convenience of my old CJ-7's tailgate! Where do you spread out a map or sit and compare notes with your fellow Jeepers? Where do you serve up a trailside snack or picnic lunch? Where do you clean your fish??? As far as off road worthiness goes, the Rubicon will never be put under the same tests as my old Jeep went and somhow survivied. Now I am retired and have discovered that the older I get, the smarter I have become! If I break it, I am the one that has to fix it. Mostly the Rubicon is used to explore back roads and trails and is towed behind my RV. Yeah, I miss the old CJ-7, but it is nice to have a few luxuries of the Rubicon like AC and windows that actually roll up when it rains Strengths: Very comfortable, looks good and is fun to drive Weaknesses: #1 complaint: No tailgate!!! Would have much preferred a 6 speed transmission Too many plastic bells & whistles, gee gaws and doo dads and I don't need all those annoying buzzers saving me from myself!!! |

The greatest |

Summary: My jeep was made especially for me. When I went to the dealer, they did not have the color, the transmission, and the top I wanted. So they order this jeep to the factory for me, that is really cool. Now I been driving it for 5 years and I just love it, my wife is no happy with that, she wants a four doors now, but I said nope. THIS IS THE CAR THAT WAS BUILD FOR ME, SO I WILL KEEP IT. now it has 35 tires, 4" rockrawler lift kit, custom bumpers and man, every time I drive it, at least 2 or 3 people tell me how nice it is. I've played on the rocks and it is incredible the things you can do with it. To me, the greatest jeep ever, sorry if I hurt some feelings. I had before a 97 wrangler and the lj model is a lot better version. Strengths: the engine is just perfect, six speed tranny great too. nice to have some room. and the style, Weaknesses: mpg maybe. |

Unlimited Possibilities |

Summary: I purchased a 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited last summer. I bought it used from Arizona with only 8K miles on it which was a steal!. i brought it in to a dealership and Jeep shops and they said it looked like it just came from the production line. I love the Jeep, it is my second car (mercedes was my first). I am a athletic type of guy and very adventurous so i fell in love with the jeep. I put 33 mickey thompson MTZ tires on it with a 2.5 in lift. It is a mean looking jeep. The previous owner was nice enough to get the lifetime sirius satelite radio =] . it also came with a navigation system in it which was a huge plus (even though i never use it). The first time i took it off road was in the winter when it snowed 10 inches in texas!!! I had so much fun! there is nothing that can beat this vehicle, my two buddies had 2 dodge trucks and both got stuck so i had to pull them out of the snow. This is the ultimate vehicle as a daily driver and as a weekend getaway. Planning on driving my baby to Florida for a summer vacation! Strengths: Plenty of room, surprisingly good pickup. help friends out. The looks are amazing (headturner) Weaknesses: loud |

2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited |
| Date: Jan 12, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Rome, GA) | |
| Vehicle: 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited LJ | |
|
Summary: Bought my jeep used about 2 years ago. It had around 14k on it. It was in stock form so I lifted it 4 inches, put 33s on it, bedlined the interior and I love my jeep. Not a place that I can't go and its nice to have the room for weekend trips. My wife packs like we're globe hopping even for a weekend so it works for us. Strengths: awesome vehicle character, offroad prowess, versatility, love being able to go doorless, topless, both or either Weaknesses: Jeep should really have offered a v8 in the unlimited |

Jeep Wrangler Unlimited |
| Date: Apr 11, 2007 | |

| Vehicle: 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited LJ | |
|
Summary: The Unlimited is my third Jeep (a CJ-7, and a 97 Wrangler Sport previously).......and I've been VERY pleased with the Unlimited. The extra room is welcome (as well as the better ride), although the extra wheelbase length makes it a little easier to high-center off road. I've put a 2 inch lift, and 32 inch tires on mine however, and that seemed to cure THAT problem. Strengths: Extra room and nicer with the longer wheelbase. Weaknesses: I wish Jeep have a V-8 option, although I have few complaints with the 4.0, behind the 6 speed |

Love the Unlimited |

Summary: Great vehicle for the money, especially in the 6spd. Rides better than the shorter Wrangler but not as well as the Cherokees/Grands. Just installed 32's along with 3/4" spacers, 1" MORE body lift, and JKS MML. Could've fit 33's without rubbing, granted I have Cragar steel wheels with the proper backspacing. Plenty of room for a single guy and a buddy to go camping or hunting, and for a dog in the back. Strengths: Enough power to pull a good size trailer with 2 full size quads up long hills, rides comfortably enough, goes just about anywhere, and best view from the drivers seat of any vehicle out there. Weaknesses: Occassional front end shimmy, and that's about it after 40k on it. |

Limits Undone |

| Vehicle: 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited LJ | |
|
Summary: The Unlimited is a very good all around Jeep, I, like alot of Jeep drivers spend alot of time driving on "improved" surfaces and aside from my two rear shocks letting go, It rides very good. Note: Chrysler replaced the shocks with no questions asked! The 4.0 I6 is a peppy engine and carries it around very well with decent gas mileage, I have managed 17-19 mpg on the highway. I have carried adult passengers in the back seat and they were pretty comfortable, I don't think they would make it on a long trip though, there is a bit more room back there. Strengths: The longer wheelbase affords a much more comfortable ride, with more passenger and gear room, yet is still very capable offroad. I do not know about the other TJ models but this one comes with a hard top and a "Sunrider" soft top, also the sirius sat. radio. Weaknesses: The lower stance and longer wheelbase is a problem until you lift it. In stock form, it is much easier to hi center! With a 3.5 inch lift most of those problems are solved. The HVAC does not have a bi level for heat! That would have been a nice feature. |
