My dad has a 21 Overland and I have a 21 JTR. My dad got the overland because the stock steps and height made it easier to get in and out of (he is 74). Having driven them both, I think the overland has a softer ride than my JTR but I am still happy with my Rubicon.
My youngest drives a 2014 Prius c (the absolute most underpowered and small) he looks like grape ape in there as he is a football lineman but you know what he won’t do? Drag race or drive my gladiator unless I am present;)
I like them. No rust yet or anything but I can see a few spots that I think are thin on the powder coat. I’m keeping an eye on them. Worst case I will touch it up if necessary. My wife loves them as she is pretty short and it makes entry and exit much easier. They are very sturdy.
