We picked up a 4 door Wrangler this week.  It should be fun.

I can't wait to get it on the trails.

Welcome back to Jeeps!  I've heard good things about the new wranglers.  4 door's are suposed to be roomy, and comfy to drive.

I can't wait to see how they do on the trail. The interior look cool and styling, but one thing I noticed is the sound bar will make for a great place to smash your forehead for anyone sitting in the back seat.

Did you get the Rubicon 4 door?

It's just an X model.  I don't know if the Rubicons are available around here yet.  I also wanted to build it up with the lockers and axle shafts that I prefer (and save a few thousand).  I also wasn't too fond of the old Rubicon lockers.  The electric sway bar disconnects would be nice though.

The rear seat sits pretty far back.  I wouldn't worry too much about the sound bar, but I guess it would be possible.  I don't plan on getting that crazy with this one on the trail.

I'm about 6' tall and sat in the back of an X soft top 4dr and was uncomfortable as hell.  I too thought the sound bar was huge.
Drive-ability was nice and rode great on the highway.  The one I tested was a 6sp and I didn't care for it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing them, in fact I really wanted to like it and was looking to trade our WJ for one.  But after driving it I don't think we'll be getting one.  Maybe down the road an auto hardtop.  I met a Rescue green 4dr HT on the road the other day and just thought it was awesome looking.

Kevin,
Can't wait to see it lifted and rollin 35"+ Pit Bull Rockers (I assume)  :brows:
Will you have it at the shop tomorrow afternoon?

I rode in the back for a trip yesterday and was real comfortable.  I was sitting behind Allie, so her seat was pretty far forward in the front.  That might have made the difference.

I thought I would love the 6 speed, but I didn't care for it after driving it a little.  We ended up getting an automatic.

Yes, it should be at the shop.  Give me a call before heading over to be safe, if you want.

We definitely have some big plans for it.  It should be pretty trick by the end of the year.

I've got to pick up some stuff from O'Reilly Machine Shop this afternoon, so I'll just stop by.
