| 2007-2011 Jeep Unlimited... Does anyone here own one? Im going to purchase one but I hear they are putting a stronger engine/transmission set up in them for 2012. The only people I know that have one, have them all modified, so im curious if there is a power issue at all. |

Working this ****ty job in Cali though has given me the oppurtunity to buy new and get the options I want. Posted via VolNation Mobile |

| if you can, buy a used one that you know was owned by a city-dweller or suburban soccermom type. They will most likely have sprung for a loaded 4x4 but never drove it off-road. |

| | Senior Member | I also bought a new one in 09. I love mine and have had no issues. I was talking to a friend of mine who is a Jeep dealer and we were discussing the Brute (google). He said to expect Jeep to adopt this format in the future. The same company also offers a Hemi upgrade along with several other kits, so maybe a Hemi is in the works for Jeep as well. |

Ive got an older model jeep, just for around town in the summer, hunting & trail riding. I love mine. |

| I had an 07 4DR Sahara, (I think you can see it in my avi) very weak and the manual trans was geared way to close together. They have a 5.7 liter Hemi conversion kit for like $10K |
