Anyone see the Speed Channel Test Drive of the new Wrangler Unlimited? They actually beat the crap out of it on the Rubicon and it did awesome. They did all kinds of wheeling with it and some road testing. I was very impressed. I'm not sure when it's on again, I had tivo'd it.

Next times for the Wrangler Unlimited Speed test are:

October 4, 8:00pm
October 6, 2:00pm
October 19, 9:00pm

Well, it LOOKS like it would suck on the COn because it is too long, heavy, has plastic bumpers, not tall enough, too wide, no 4.0L, etc. It must suck because it isn't exactly like the TJ which is the King of all Jeeps! DVR time when I get home.

Well I'll say they sure beat the heck out of those things. Almost carelessly. Sure glad they had somebody there that new how to fix up cracked plastic bumpers. Also caught a glimpse of Clint spotting.

sorry about the black screen.

Yep, I've got it protected on my DVR. I liked how they sold it for what it is and didnt try to pass it off to people who are looking for something like a CRV since it has four doors. I liked it even more after I watched that (although I've already looked at it twice at the dealer ).
