WAS concidering selling my Jeep!

[hoaxci5]

Do you ever use the third row seats?
I've never driven or for that matter even ridden in a JKU but from what all the Wrangler owners say its loud inside.. (It's a Jeep thing follows that normally...) Is there any truth to that? I like my luxury car quietness on the highway.

Those are personal things that would have a strong effect on me, not sure if they matter at all to you.. I almost never roll down my windows..

I have used them on very rare occasions but pretty much they just stay folded down. The one I drove had a hard top and metal doors so with the AT's on it was actually quieter than my XK on the road if you can believe that. Doors off of course will be loud my wife could barely hear me on the phone when the doors where off the XK that one day. I was pleasantly surprised when I stop by and test drove the 2011's with the new interior as well. It was as comfortable as my XK the wife thought is was more comfortable but she has always said she's uncomfortable in the XK. It was roomy and solid as a rock the six speed felt good the auto is junk IMO.

I feel your pain. My Wife has pretty much taken over ownership of the Commander and doesn't want to let me lift it. She will let me do any other Mod I want but no lift kit............ So there I was a dealership looking at a lifted JK mulling over trading in "my" Altima (as she points out all the time). The aftermarket is HUGE compared to the XK so it makes sense in that regard. I would lose out on the excellent mileage the Altima gets however I hate driving it in the winter as it is unresponsive and has no ground clearance, the CVT loves to spin on snow and ice. My next posting we are expecting more snow fall in the winter too. I considered another Commander but the resale sucks and I am left with limited aftermarket. More and more it looks like a JK. I would love a new Grand but they are too expensive and wont have an aftermarket parts bin for a few years and the same unibody problems we see with lifts. So a JK with stick, an actual body on frame construct, doors made to come off, tons of aftermarket (with the option to finance some from a dealership on purchase),and another pro is 2HI!! I think I may wait to get settled in the new place and see what 2012 JK's will have to offer and leave myself the option to buy a reduced 2011 or go new. So good luck with your impulsiveness, I am sitting on it for now........................maybe.

FWIW... when the kids are out of daycare we're going to sell my wifes Liberty and get her a JKU. Small lift with 33s.

The JKU will be the "hers" vehicle for my wife and daughter, and we'll use it for short trips to the beach sports/etc. The XK will be the mans vehicle and used for longer trips, skiing, vacations, etc.
