I'm on my third Wrangler. First one was the early leaf- spring version with square headlights that I bought from an insurance auction after it had been tipped up on its side. Perfect for beating around the woods.
Second was a '97 TJ. Coil springs are far more capable, both on road and off.
Currently have a TJ Rubicon. 4:10 axles and lockers front and rear make it nearly unstoppable, even with just a mild lift and 33" tires.
All have one thing in common: Nothing better than Summer with the top and doors off.
