    Which Jeep Model & Why?

    Exactly. And a few other things. I agree that the gc is a better road machine. But not by much over well designed and built jku or jlu. The longer wheel base makes for a great ride. Lifted a little with the right springs an compliant shocks. It is fine. I had o8 Jkur I put a 175000 on it...
