I have had two Wranglers as my daily drivers -- 99 and an 06. I also had a 95 geared low for trails.
Loved my 99 Sahara edition and would have kept it until the wheels fell off, but it was totaled by insurance after a theft attempt (cut wiring harness). It had high mileage and rust from New England winters, but they gave me 12k for it in 2011. And I gave up my 95 because I was not doing any wheeling since moving to Arizona - I like mud and it's scarce in Tucson.
When I bought the 06 I was thinking, "Hey, it's still a TJ, and same 4.0L engine, but now a 6 speed stick vs. 5 speed stick." Wrong. Hated it. Felt so much more anemic than the 99. And after only 60k miles all kinds of things were wanting replacing - head gasket, brake lines, catalytic converter.
I traded to the Camaro and went automatic with it so the husband could drive it too.
