Default KJ vs TJ

I'm having a tough choice between purchasing a 2006 KJ and a 2005 Wrangler TJ. Both low km's and similar price. Any thoughts on which way to go?

No serious off roading. Some touring and sand stuff over summer and 10 minutes a day to and from work. Been driving boring cars for the last 8 years so it's time for some fun I think. Would love to be able to spend some time playing with a new toy lol

i think you'd probably go fine either way for what your saying.

The TJ being alot less comfortable than the KJ but lots more "fun", and you could spend years fiddling and modding a TJ.

The KJ would be nice to but, very comfortable vehicle and still IMO very capable with some smart modifcations!

i'd expect a KJ to be alot better on fuel too.
