went to Jalopnik (generally good writers). biggest surprise was them majorly talking up the auto transmission, which is the same 10-speed in other broncos (plus a cooler). makes the early wailing about the auto being weak seem moot
For $45K (less because price-protected), the 2.7 4D Basequatch was such a good deal, mostly because I didn't trust myself to do suspension upgrades properly. You get both lockers and all the off-road toy buttons filled out on top of the dash (like a rubicon for 10K less).
