Hi all,
Wondering if any of you have owned or spent significant time behind the wheel of a JL Wrangler. I currently own and daily drive a 21' JLUD Rubicon. Also, I have on order a two door Wildtrack Sasquatch and hoping to get some feedback on the differences from a daily driver/comfort and convivence/highway drive perspective. I've owned the Wrangler for approx. one year and have a love / hate relationship with it. I love it while I'm looking at it or when I'm wheeling it. Otherwise I hate it like poison. Please see my gripe below. I know I bought a compromised vehicle and yes I've driven it ~6K miles so this isn't a knee-jerk thing. I'm hoping that you guys will tell me that the Bronco is just larger and more refined enough to justify the switch.
I'm 6'2" and find:
I'm a normal human with a healthy degree of respect for driving safety:
I'm sure I'm missing some, but you get the picture. Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I'm 6'2" and find:
- the interior cramped - side to side
- no leg room - seat doesn't go back far enough - my knee bashes against the transfer case lever a lot
- seat cushion has zero thigh support
I'm a normal human with a healthy degree of respect for driving safety:
- I cannot relax at all behind the wheel due to it wandering all over the place
- don't feel safe with the tires being MTs .. I know I can and will change them .. not safe to me because I've skidded to stops on dry pavement (probably going too fast)
- Suspension has too much travel on the road - too willowy - leans too much for comfort (I know it isn't a sports car)
I'm sure I'm missing some, but you get the picture. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
