#24 of 83 Please explain gear raotios by edf4 Sep 16, 2006 (6:24 am)
I am interested in the new four door Wrangler X with the six speed manual. I would be using it on the beaches in summer and in deep snow in the winter, but no rocky off-roading. I have never owned a real four wheeler before, but I have driven ones belonging to others quite a bit. I would also use mine for occassional light towing, (garden mulch, motorcycle, etc). My question is about the two gear ratios available. What are the advantages & disadvantages of each, and with the use mine would get, which would you recommend?

#25 of 83 Frameless doors? by toronado455 Sep 16, 2006 (12:31 pm)
Some of the pics of the new Unlimited show frameless doors. When the top is down it looks so much better than the doors with window frames. Is this an option? Replies to this message: edf4 (Sep 17, 2006 4:48 pm) toronado455 (Sep 17, 2006 6:51 pm) 4rider (Sep 19, 2006 11:37 pm) and 3 more...

Replying to: toronado455 (Sep 16, 2006 12:31 pm) Those are the half doors. They are an option, but will not be available until January, (per Jeep's website). I agree with you that these doors look MUCH better with the top off than the full doors, but from what I understand about them, the top half has a plastic window which, when open (unzipped), folds inward covering the door's armrest. The plastic top half can be removed entirely, but if you get caught in the rain, you get wet. Hopefully Jeep will offer a dual door option like they offer the dual top option, so those of us in a winter climate will be able to enjoy a snug cabin with full metal doors and full hard top in winter and an open fun one with a soft top and half doors in the summer.

Replying to: edf4 (Sep 17, 2006 4:48 pm) A Plastic window? How retarded. Instead of a dual door option, they should have a single type of door with a real roll-up glass window with no window frame. Just like any normal convertible does. Replies to this message: 4rider (Sep 19, 2006 11:37 pm) toronado455 (Sep 27, 2006 4:40 pm) tolh13 (Oct 01, 2006 3:40 pm) and 1 more...
#28 of 83 Why not perfect it? by bristol2 Sep 18, 2006 (9:00 am)
How about this: Diesel V6 Glass windows in framelss doors Spray out interior (how will that DC stereo do with a water hose?) Rear seats that fold flat with trunk space to create sleep-able interior. That will be when they finish this Jeep. Replies to this message: mr_anton89 (Mar 10, 2007 8:03 pm) bristol2 (Mar 12, 2007 11:14 am)
#29 of 83 I wonder how the '07 will handle the rain by jplyman Sep 18, 2006 (4:41 pm)
Just had a downpour down here in the south - and of course I had all the windows out - second time this has happened while its been parked - just went out pulled out the drain plugs to pushed the excess water out - does the '07 have this? And will water effect all the new electronics. Replies to this message: pkear (Feb 02, 2007 7:32 am)

Replying to: 4rider (Sep 19, 2006 11:37 pm) The TV commercial with the giant apes seems to have a 4-door Wrangler with half doors. At least that's what it looks like in the split second it is on the screen. Reminds me a bit of the VW Thing. Replies to this message: tolh13 (Oct 01, 2006 3:40 pm) wiseguy5 (Nov 13, 2006 1:29 pm)

Replying to: edf4 (Sep 16, 2006 6:24 am) I would recomend a 4.10 ratio. it is the best. I have driven then both. with the 6 speed manual the rpms are not real high about 2200 at 75mph. and still gives you good low end power.
