hey I like jeeps too. In fact I used to hate toyota until I got my truck. But I'm still looking to buy a 2005 jeep wrangler for my daily driver and keeping my truck as an extra vehicle / toy.

they dont come stock with "coil over" suspensions.... but just coil suspensions with the shock outside the coil. like the rear of 3rd and 4th gen 4runners and fj cruisers. hope it works out for ya though.
