A hand throttle is high on my list of future mods.

don't know if ive already said this or not. but the rear fender flare is a little close to the back doors (on a 4door) and if your not careful its easy to get mud, salt, and sand on your pants. and its hard to grab the seatbelt in the back. but its a jeep so its all in good fun.

It would be nice to have 4 doors for hauling the kiddos and of course a HEMI!

I have heard that the soft top leaks after taking off a few times and I am not sure about all that flare on the fenders.

I guess the jury is still out.

Judging by the number of 4 door JK's I see driving around Miami, I'd say the JK acceptance is favorable.

While I like the JK its one of those vehicles that I will alway like but never have?  Like a Corvette I'll look but not ever going to see one in my drive way.  Got other things to blow my money on.  Also I'm sort of in the same boat a Jeffy.  I don't want to/can't sell my TJ.  The loss on mods alone would kill me not to mention its mine and paid for.  On another note Moz you seriously ought to look into a cheapo car and quit DD that awsome rig you built.

The in-laws have a 2000 Audi A6 that they want to pass along to my oldest.....who won't be able to drive for another 3 years....I may just have to borrow it until then.... :blbl:

I was thinking of just buying a Rabbit to tool around in....no money right now though.... :'(

I drove a 4 door hard top for a quick 10 minute test drive.   It is as you all have said: SUV like, both in terms of noise and smoothness.  If I had kids and needed more room this would definitely be the alternative to the van or the SUV. 

It is smooth, quiet, and responsive.  Does this mean its not a Wrangler?
