Jury is still out until we see what magic Marlin can make of this beast. About the only thing I've noticed that I really don't like (besides IFS) are the rear lights, they won't last long on the trail.

i drove one at the Takeover event,  i have to ad mit i was impressed,       in stock form it went up a couple trails i was sure we would have to back out,  and the interior is nice

I would encourage my mom or sis to buy one , very easy to get in and out of as well

I like it. If I wanted something new and cushiony, I'd buy one. But, of course, for $24,000 I'd rather build a sick first gen...  :thumbs:  Definitely a good truck for the sister, that way you can still wheel with it.

I'd run one for a daily driver in a heart beat, they look SICK on 35's.

Give the aftermarket a chance with the tailights guys.  I'm sure they will be making all kinds of lights for them soon enough.

Don't like'em. Sat in one the other day and felt I had more blind spots than a U-haul van. :thumbdown:

That's very true, but if they make a soft top or a removable hard top, that might be a different story.  Plus, that v6 has plenty of go go juice.  :yesnod:

Yeah the tail lights are a prob. But look at this one from Peterson's 4 Wheel & Off-Road Mag. Dana 60 Dynatrac axles, custom bumpers, a supercharger on the V-6, and to top it all off, 39 inch Krawlers
