Default Why the Unlimited

I know I am going to probably make somebody mad, but that is not my intent.

I have to ask, why did you decided to go with the Unlimited? I know there is more room, but other than Soccer Moms, how much room do you really need?

They just don't look right to me. Is there an advantage to the longer wheel base that I don't know about?

I am a traveling technician, so at any given time I have 1 suitcase, 1 laptop bag, 3 or 4 full tool bags, plus I can still fit more people on the inside. the choice for the unlimited was easy for me.

Plus IMO it has a smoother ride cause of the longer wheel base.

All I can think of when I see a 4 door is "Clark Griswald goes offroading".

I can tell you why I didn't, the short wheel base to get around and less likely to get high centered, I will say I wish I had more space but that's why I baught this...

My comments are all in jest. Slow night and I wanted to have some fun. I realize there is a great deal to be said about the extra room.

Unless one of my three kids rode in this position



I wouldn't be driving a Jeep again, that's why.
