Hi Fellas. I'm new to the Jeep world. I graduated from college just over a year ago and bought a new 2012 Mustang GT out of the gate. Wanted a fast car. Well that fun came and has grown old not to mention it has given me nothing but problems. It's getting lemon lawed. I'm looking to replace it with a JK. I came here to get some information before I make a purchase. I'm looking at another 2-3 weeks before making a purchase so any advice on what to look for would be appreciated. I'm not new to the off road world by any means. I had an old 86 F-150 that was lifted back in High School but I've been out of it for the last 5-6 years now.

Going to be light off road duty. Maybe some trips to Tellico and a couple of places in Tennessee. It'll mostly be a street queen but my intentions are to keep it plenty capable at the same time as it will see some off road use.
What?!? Since when? I used to go riding dirt bikes there back in the day. You can tell I've been out of it a while :/Welcome, and Tellico has been closed.
As for what I'm wanting...
Currently I know I want an Unlimited Rubicon with an Auto Tranny. I'm 6'8" and as much as I enjoy rowing gears the clutch in the Wrangler sits in a location that with my long legs I can't stretch my left leg out when cruising. I can shift gears fine but I wouldn't be comfortable driving a Manual. Manuals also kind of suck when off roading from what I remember.
I work as a Mechanical Engineer for a construction company and sometimes have to haul clients around so the 4 doors would be nice as well as the trunk space for my gear.
