Well...you people are really of no help as a collective group. I guess I'm just going to have to buy the one I can afford, but the Willys has my attention the most. The reasons are mainly for what's in my original post. However, a Rubicon is not off the list depending on what type of deal I can get.
There is one thing that's really got me wondering. No one commented on my post on page 2 regarding the height of all these Wranglers. I've now been to 3 dealers, and EVERY wrangler sits at what seems the exact same height. I've seen every model right next to or in a long line of Wranglers, and eyeing accoss the hoods and or roofs shows absolutely no perceivable difference in height. WTF? It's clear the the Rubicon in fact has both longer springs and shocks, as well as taller 33" tires. So why do they all sit at the same height? Does this mean the Rubicon suspension is engineered different so the upper and lower spring mounts are actually farther apart than the other models? Maybe engineered to have more articulation, thus the reason for the the higher fender flares?
The only Wrangler I've seen on a dealer's lot that is clearly taller is a Freedom with the Mopar lift and 35" tires. That one sits about 6'5" or so to the top of the hard top.
