I've had a 2000 Jeep TJ, which my son has now. I also had a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - fully loaded. Both were great vehicles. In fact, I'm buying my 2000 Jeep TJ back from my son - I'm using it strictly for off-roading.
The Rubicon was especially a nice vehicle. I got rid of it because we were doing long road trips to Phoenix, and it was too hard on gas, and there wasn't enough room in it to carry all our stuff. The thing about driving a Jeep on the highway, is that it's like driving a sheet of plywood into the wind. The Rubicon had enough power, but it was revving really high, when I was 75 to 80 mph on the freeways down south. So, that's one of the reasons that the gas mileage was so bad.
If you are driving around town or out in the bush, then you can't beat it.
