"DasBaldGuy" claims that the photos were taken over Memorial Day weekend in Michigan. There are 5 photos - check them all out

Not too shy to talk Joined: 2006/4/27 From: Posts: 23	Re: 4-Door Wrangler Unlimited Softtop in the Wild I saw the "poser " pics of the 4 door which did not look half bad, although I would agree that it now is similar to the H2. But seeing these real pics, the 4 door appears to be too wide (espicially the tail shot) and generally has a "porky" appearance. It seems the JK is now a family / soccer mom SUV. Bigger and heavier and still poor fuel econony (est 17/22) Way to go Jeep.

I saw the JK in person at the NY auto show, and it didnt come across as a soccer mom mobile at all. I dont think a soccer mom could handle the rough ride of a jeep anyway. The unlimited particularly looks great with half doors.

That was my biggest pet-peave about about the TJ's. It made them look like crap. Otherwise this looks like a winner!

As far as faded fender flares go, check out this link (if I can figure out how to post one). Fixed for faded flares thread on Jeep Forum.com One of the guys there posted pics of his flares. He used Line X on them and I must say they took pretty darn cool! That's what I plan to do with my TJ flares when they start to go, but by then, I'm hoping to have a JK.
