have fun carryin skis and ppl in that. it may be a longer wrangler, but its still small, not comfy on long trips, and loud, uless you always have the hard top/doors on. are you looking for a new whip? or used? what about a bigger suv?

i carry skis in my wrangler all the time. its the older one too, so its much smaller. you cant really drive comfortably with people in the car with skis, but its still doable. its just hard to get in and out because of the way the skis are put in.

if your gonna drive long distances with it, it sucks with the soft top on (it starts to hurt your ears its so loud). other than that its probably not too bad (at least mine isnt). it gets like 19 mpg too around town

i dont have much of an opinion. my friend had a jeep wrangler and i didnt like it, cause it rattled all the time and sounded like it was going to fall apart, and it was loud on the freeway. but that was like a 91 wrangler with a soft top. i bet the hard top and newer jeeps are way better.

all i have to say is if you get one, get one where the top matches the body color, like this one:

YUCK....jeeps were never ment to have 4 doors. Plus i sat in one, still cramped as fuck. Umm i guess a good alternative to the new KJ is the FJ cruser. But their design for offroad is balls. Front independant coil overs.....thats caca. If i would by an Fj i would throw a dana 44 front under there.

If you want something for space buy a real SUV or something. Like jeeps are really great for offroad, but alot of the other jeeps in the lineup can still hold their own on the trail....well except for the compass. That shit schould never come out of the factory jeep branding, it betrys the whole brand.
