Considering an LJ, advice needed!

Hey everyone, here's my predicament.

I bought a '92 YJ about 2 years ago, but it just wasn't working for me. Not enough storage, super rough ride, I've had whiplash twice in wrecks so the short wheelbase is a killer for me, etc.

A couple months ago I purchased a 2008 JKU thinking this would solve all my problems. I REALLY want to like it, but I just don't. It just feels too big and unruly, there's so much going on compared to the YJ with electronics and aesthetics, just don't feel like I'm driving a jeep anymore.

So the question is, would an LJ be the perfect mix of the two? Longer wheel base for a better ride and more storage space, but not so big that I feel like I'm driving a hummer? And relatively stripped down compared to the JKU?

Any and all advice is welcomed. LJ's are NOT cheap so I want to make sure I'm making the right decision this time.

Consequently, my JKU is now for sale if anyone is interested. 2008 6-speed, asking $18,000.

Thanks!

I loved my LJ but getting in out of the back was a pain for me and the passengers. This is why I like my JKU better. I do miss the LJ sometimes. I had converted it to a truck with the Gr8Top. It was unique. We love our JKU but it is a 2014 and the 3.6 is a great motor.

I liked it. The only issue I had is I took it off one time and getting it back on and lined up was a nightmare. The doors would not shut right. I had to trim the top a little to get it fine tuned.
