Here is the deal. Back in 2008 I traded my wife's H2 for a Sahara Unlimited. She has not forgiven me since. The Hummer was yellow. She wanted a 2012 Yellow Rubi. New motor, more power. She wanted nothing but yellow. She hates dozer. The Sahara is paid for. I have almost convinced her to keep the 08 and lift it and put 35s on it. Is the new motor worth the extra money? I am guessing it would cost some serious cash to move up to the 2012. Help me decide.

 

Hmmmm.....wife wants new jeep, she is mad because of the current jeep. Just how mad is she? Compromise.....get the new Jeep and you get to put a lift and 35s on it.

 

Traded my 2010 on a 2012, if you can do it i would! the 2012 is really worth it. Huge difference!!!!

 

x2...Look at my sig to see the mods I did on my JK. Even with that I wasn't too pleased with the auto trans behavior. I test drove the 2012 and fell in love all over again. I am currently waiting on a '12 Rubicon unlimited to be built....placed an order a couple of weeks ago...

 

happy wife == happy life

Get a '12 with the fun gadgets, nav, uConnect, etc and she will feel a little bit of the luxury the h2 had and you get the off road performance of the Jeep.

If your wife is anything like mine she wants the nice stuff on the inside... lifts and stuff look great on the outside but they will decrease performance and the inside stays the same. If you have her support go for the new Jeep... but make sure you get a good price for your trade.
