Took my Rubicon in for the backup camera recall and the selectable tire full bulletin and decided to get a quote for retrofitting the front camera, which is the only option I wish I'd gotten but didn't.
Cost was $1600 in parts and $800 labor before tax, which was just too much for me. After...
I can't believe we don't have a door caddy that fits in the bed yet - I'd much prefer that to soft doors, or even uppers, which in my lengthy jeep ownership experience are just awful.
Yes, but the Rubicon has larger tires and a skid plate blocking some airflow under the bumper which reduces its ability to shed heat, so has a slightly lower gcwr despite the same cooling system. Like I said, there's nothing different or bespoke on the max tow, they used the Rubicon tow...
The lower tow rating on the Rubicon is due to the increased net weight and reduced ability to keep cool due to the larger tires (=lower effective gearing) and front skid plate. If you look at the gross combined weight rating, it's only a couple hundred pounds different due to the cooling.
I...
Mine is a 1967 - so quality counts for something. There aren't any plain white boxes that will still be around in 50 years, and I wouldn't bet against mine still being around.
That and when we camp, we spend the majority of the time outside, you know, camping, and not sitting inside, so I see...
No, if I wanted to look at a showroom condition version instead of using all $60k worth of goodies it has on it, I'd just drive down to the dealership and look at the 10 they have on the lot. Have to get my money's worth, which means using all of the off-road goodies, skid plates, sliders...
No flapping at highway speeds, at least nothing I can hear or see. If you spend some time adjusting it and messing with the velcro you could probably get the wrinkles out, but honestly I don't care much about the looks, that's not why I bought it. Most of the time I run the tonneau.
I have...
Yes - they are both installed together, that's the main selling point (at least for me), no need to store another accessory somewhere when you're not using it. The soft top folds under the tonneau when not in use and the tonneau rolls up and the top is designed to be deployed with it still on...
Let me know if you have any questions, I really like it. Drive with the tonneau on 90% of the time, but it just rolls up and top unfolds when I need extra space and doesn't take up too much room when folded. Super convenient.
Should make it easier, if anything. I have a fas-top on mine (soft top and tonneau combined) and it mounts to the rails. When I got it, they didn't have trail rail specific mounting system so I had to modify the bed mounts to work, but I believe the soft topper has trail rail mounts.
I use the tie downs the most, by far. Makes it really easy to secure a load or add bed accessories. I use the box a lot, but don't think I've ever locked it, so the base underseat bin would work just as well for me tbh, though the box doesn't let anything slide under the seat.
Like most packages, it only really makes economic sense if you want all of the parts of it - it's not a bad deal for the outlet, bed rails, tie down anchors and under seat storage, but if you only want one of those probably doesn't make sense to get the package. If you want two of them, you...
I don't think you can get LEDs on the sport s, and that was one of the required options for me - the others being tow package and 8.4 uconnect. The 110 outlet is kind of useless, you have to have acc on which shuts off automatically after 20-30 minutes. You could put the leds in aftermarket...
