Very true about the JK and 35s! Fitting 35s on my JK was quite easy, whereas fitting them on a TJ becomes quite an extensive list of mods, that's saying the least.
I'm with you though 100%. The TJ definitely retains a lot of the classic looks, which I like. The JK is just simpler in the fact that you don't need to do much to them in order to get them where you want.
