3.6 motor looks promising, but i would guess that your mileage will suck, i have an 06 liberty with the 3.7 (being replaced by the 3.6) and i get about 14 in the city and 19 highway (3.5" lift and 31" tires stock 3.73 gearing), the 3.6 puts out more hp and torque so i would guess the mileage to be roughly the same, stick with command trac for the tcase (4wd) the selectrac (awd) have been known to have their fair share of issues and i would stick with the 5 speed not a 6 as they have also been problematic in the past, aside from that i don’t know too much about the new wranglers, you may want to check out jeepforum and some other wrangler specific forums to look for known issues with them. ---

No. I traded in the Trailblazer cuz a bunch of stuff went wrong with it at once. ABS control Module, Power Steering Lines Blew, Transmission was acting funny I just didn’t wanna deal with it any more ---

Nick Joe Gardner has a newer one. He has had a few of the newer ones. He said that the 4 cylinder absolutely sucked, has to be the 6.

My roommate has a '12 and i think it rides like complete shit. It feels like the shock absorber goes into cardiac arrest everytime you hit a bump, Its just over a year old and the interior just rattles away. I guess none of that will matter if your planning on offroading it lol ---

I had a heavily built one and know pretty much all the ins and outs…the 07 and some of the 08’s have oil consumption problems. I know of 3 engines that went bad from this alone in this area. Depending on what your doing with it depends on the model. The Rubi is going to be the most $$ but great if your not going crazy with it. its has a front D44 vs the D30 of all the other models. IT has lockers but they are electric and a 37inch tire will eat them. Here is my 08 on 40s with crate axles… [![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/jvalason/252129_10150768858515457_846205456_20290713_4533444_n.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/jvalason/252129_10150768858515457_846205456_20290713_4533444_n.jpg)](http://s685.photobucket.com/user/jvalason/media/252129_10150768858515457_846205456_20290713_4533444_n.jpg.html) [![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/jvalason/285573_10150768857335457_846205456_20290699_2351814_n.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/jvalason/285573_10150768857335457_846205456_20290699_2351814_n.jpg)](http://s685.photobucket.com/user/jvalason/media/285573_10150768857335457_846205456_20290699_2351814_n.jpg.html) [![http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/jvalason/252105_10150753888380457_846205456_20092122_632713_n.jpg](http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv214/jvalason/252105_10150753888380457_846205456_20092122_632713_n.jpg)](http://s685.photobucket.com/user/jvalason/media/252105_10150753888380457_846205456_20092122_632713_n.jpg.html) ---
