As great as the new JK is (I was crawling around under a friend's 07 Rubi on Saturday), it has it's short comings.

Pros:
Jeep finally realized that the inverted Y steering sucks and now has factory crossover.

A JK with just new springs (or a BB) can fit 35's and get a 910 RTI (my 03 Rubi with 6" LA could only squeeze out a 905).

Jeep has decent factory upgrades. Bumpers, sliders, etc (their rear bumper sucks though).

Cons:
What were they thinking getting rid of the 4.0L inline 6 as an option?

No place to bolt up skid plates.

Now instead of an easy to make gas tank skid, you need a muffler skid.

The price tag on the Rubi is still way too high.

Again, what were they thinking with the engine.

So...now I know this isn't a Jeep thread, just thought I would share what I liked and disliked about JK's.

Now...

How the hell did you blow up the front diff, rear diff and TC all at the same time?
