Why are you here?
Why do you come to the JK forum and talk about how much you dislike the jk? (even though you DONT own one)
We have a word for that, its called TROLL and its obnoxious.
if you have a question ask it.
If you dont go find another forum to be obnoxious on.
I love my jk. My top doesnt leak, it has plenty of power, the only problem iv had is my swaybar because i lifted it and didnt bother with longer links.
Not everyone hates their jeep, not all tops leak.
Its a COMPLETE redesign, there are ALWAYS bugs to iron out.
The plastic sucks. WHO CARES? i dont give a shit that my glovebox has scratches on it. If i drove a hummer i might but i dont.
Have you driven a JK even? My manual with 4.10s has plenty of power even with 34 inch tires. The only time it has ever been a problem is on i70 on the passes at 12K feet in colorado.
I start in 2nd gear and it has plenty of power to get me going.

Dude... he told you that his JK was awesome, no problems and he loved it and you said but well... yeah but yeah well... bet you don't have a lot of miles on it... So as I said you didn't want to even hear that somone loved their JK. Give me a freakin' break. YOU just want to trash Jk's... GO do it on a Hummer forum, you'll get more people to agree with you.
As far as research goes... won't even bother to tell you how much I know about car buying or the research I've done before I've purchased any of my new vehicles as you will just have some response to try to make your point anyway. I could be a master mechanic for all you know but it still wouldn't matter. You'll just keep making your assumptions and rambling on and on...
Speaking of research, if you've done so much of the due diligence you claim you are doing before buying a JK you would know that the Phoenix engine is pretty much assured to never see the light of day in a Wrangler. So stop saying you will wait till it comes out with one before you buy it. You aren't making yourself look any smarter.

yeah i have a 4dr.
and yes i have power from this 3.8.
Will i win any races? no its a jeep not my mustang
but it has plenty of power for daily driving.
and i dont know that they cut corners. I doubt they knew about the plastic, and the plastic bumpers are better for offroaders because it lowers the price of the vehicle when youre going to replace the bumper anyway. The plastic fenders are awesome IMO. Cant beat no body damage when you smack a rock. My top doesnt leak one bit.......
im missing your corners lol

A tj owner. Now there is a jeep that has a good engine! Nice ride. I do like JK's but the corners that daimler cut were to hard. The plastic's of the new jk scratch so easy , jap thin sheet metal , a mini van engine ? If you like the torque of the tj how do you think you will like the mini-van 3.8 ? Think not just like the majority of new JK owners.They wish they had more power. Maybe I will just wait till 2010 till the new "Phoenix V6 comes out in them)
Enjoy your Cherokee.

I don't think you really want a JK, so don't get one. The majority of us that own them love them, even with their quarks.
If you can't or don't want to deal with them get something else, but don't feel bad or sorry for your choice every time you see a topless JK rolling down the highway.

I have been researching a newer vehicle to replace my 1993 Cherokee with 324,180 kilometers on it. Ran well and still does. Could you say this about your JK? Ya no. You don't really want a JK, you want another cherokee and so do all of us 
I went down to the dealer to look at the new jk's and man they do look nice , but have you ever read the posts on this forum ? Crying and bitching about your P O S that won't start , leaks all the time , thin sheet metal , rusty hinges , rattles here and there , stalling , flashing , crappy plastic's ect...I can honestly say that I am unimpressed with the quality of this latest product ..and I'm a jeep man. You bought it now live with it. Everyone and I mean ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE here complains about their JKs because you are 100% correct on everything your saying, gawd if only all of us on here could sell our JKs and go buy cherokees like you we'd be so awesome and cool
Jeep has now run its name into the ground and has the worst ratings for any car manufacturer to date but we still love them. yep and all because of their new state of the art JK which is by no means as good as your wonderful cherokee
They might as well be made in China cause the quality sure reflects it. At least the 04'grand cherokee has some quality in it. Mad Jeeper.
You should stick with your cherokee, it's the best vehicle known to man and ever created, wish I could sell my Rubi and buy one, if only I was so lucky

everyone who posts on this forum usually has a complaint... take into account the tons of other people who have a JK with no problems, they'll prolly never get on this forum, that's a huge difference...
well said sasquatch, you da man.
