Damn you guys are old if you are still thinking of the CJ's. Of course I'm old too, but manage to stay up with the times
I also own a 2000 Wrangler (now called TJ). The plus side is that it has air, CD player, dual air bags, wider stance then the old CJ's so really stable in the curves, steel doors and much quieter top. Down side is fuel mileage still sucks and with the back seat in, no storage room. Oh and one other plus, they have great resale value.
