I have a 97 tj and my VX..The tj had(every option at the time) I paid 21 Gs' ( One of the first in NE with 6-auto-30" tires-hard top-soft top-air-abs-ect...It has 108000 miles but still mint..My VX cost about the same,Has much more options and a much better warranty , There are days I have driven both cars 50-100 miles each..The VX is much more better..I have driven both in snow storms, the Vx is much better..Every place I stop with the VX people ask me what is that? Cool I do not off road with either one ( I off road too much at work )Rubicon? you should see some of constrution sites I take my work truck into.. Just joking I live in the Burbs no trails here.....I have had at least 6-7 other 4 wheell drive suv-pickups and I like the VX better than all of them Tony B
