General comments?
Overall this Wrangler rides smoother on road than my Explorer ever did and off road it is more capable. You can take it apart and work on it very easily. The parts are inexpensive and readily available. I am very impressed so far. The 4 cylinder with the manual 5 speed is a good combination. It performs good on road and excellent off road. The Throttle Body EFI works flawlessly off road and on road. I've been told my car has lasted this long because of the EFI and that most carb models have conked out years ago.
