Did not see the actual gears on the truck. That truck is way overloaded. Make sure the gears work with the wheel/tire size and the performance upgrades.....
I've always used a Battery Tender when not driving for more than 3 days. Coming up on 4 years with no battery issues! I've the pig tails hanging out of the grill, so its an easy hook up. Knock on wood!
I put a set of the Rough Country power running boards. They work and look great too. Easy to put on, but NOT for rock crawling, even though they look the part when closed. Can turn them on and off and have LEDs too...
The competition is getting way better with the introduction of the Bronco. The Bronco and options are killing the Wrangler, Jeep got lazy and they are paying for it now!
