have you ever spent any time behind the wheel of one? everything you said is misleading, imho.
the dash is polished aluminum and carbon fiber. everything else is either leather or carpet. i've lost my nerve before the tires lost adhesion on turns (80+ mph). and they ride better than any japanese car i've ever been in, outside of a lexus ls400. you have to keep the tires inflated to the recommended poundage and check the fluids regularly, but outside of that we've had zero problems with the '02.
i did have leather seats put in it before i picked it up, but they are OEM.
there are sites dedicated to their off-road ability with slight mods to the suspension. i was thinking about buying the wife a new car and taking the liberty for my own vehicle.
it's been years since i've driven one, but the last time i was in a wrangler i thought i was going to have to have a kidney transplant.
