Not the OP, but I had a 6-speed JK and can testify that the JT is a much better feeling clutch and transmission with reverse in a much better spot.
As to why you would want an automatic for daily driving, I'm not the guy to answer that one. I won't even look at anything not available with a...
Agree with others on the shortage. When I ordered I couldn't get all-weather mats or the tonneau I wanted.
Best bet, try ordering from another dealer and see what they say. Make sure they have the package checked with ACC AND forward collision. It's definitely worth it.
Woah woah woah! I didn't think I would care for the adaptive cruise control, but got it for the insurance reduction. Turns out it is one of my favorite features! On a long highway drive it really comes in handy. My drive home from Gupton had it on probably 90% of the time.
Do you have a metal section big enough? I had my plate mounted with neodymium magnets for years on my XJ.

My first thought is, well why not just use 4-hi, but I guess there are a few benefits to 4-low and having quick access to shorter gearing without hitting the T-case lever. I did a lot of rock crawling in Arizona, but never high speed off-roading. 4-low 1st gear can't be too short for me, lol...
Hah! All simple math really, but I must admit, I plugged it all into a calculator out of laziness.
Here is the best I can do without going too crazy:
1st with 3.73 has a crawl ratio of 19.13
4.10 is 21.03
4.56 is 23.39
4.88 is 25.03
5.13 is 26.32
5.38 is 27.6
Crawl ratios 4-low 3.73(2.72...
I don't see anyone else mentioning this, but you can pretty much get the feel without changing anything on your jeep using 4-low.
Find a safe surface to run 4-low in. You can do this on pavement relatively safely as long as you keep it in a straight line and don't go too far, but dirt, sand...
I think it all depends on your tolerances. The people saying, "I don't need no darned heated steering wheel" are probably the same ones that cry when they don't have a/c in the summer. I could live in Phoenix with no a/c, but I whine about the cold every winter no matter where I live including...
I'm both excited and saddened at the thought of an all electric Wrangler/Gladiator. Excited because it should be awesome if they can get the range decent, but saddened because it likely won't have a manual transmission available. Though I have seen some hope that it will recently for...
I don't know if you read the links to the JL forums, but it seems exactly like the issue they were having which was resolved by unplugging the battery, separating all connectors attached to the negative terminal, turning on the lights, and holding down the brake pedal(The last two to drain any...
This is all pretty spot on. I know the link says "Human caused climate change" but really what the article and most(all?) the studies it is referring to state that we really are accelerating it. I think the most accurate way to describe it is: The natural cycle has been greatly accelerated by...
That is the beauty of science, not its downfall. Science can be wrong. Science operates on the best current data that we have. When new data comes up that shows we were wrong science moves on and doesn't look back. One problem with things like religion and conspiracy theories is that when...
Where are we currently in the natural cycle (Milankovitch cycle)? The warmest point of the last cycle was around 10,000 years ago, at the peak of the Holocene. Since then, there has been an overall cooling trend, consistent with a continuation of the natural cycle, and this cooling would...
It's an easy out for those who would rather live in a world where scientists are lying to them and corporations and cousin Joe Bob on Facebook are the only ones who give it to them straight.
As someone who has been in the situation as the "door closer", it's quite confusing. All the sudden someone is yelling and you have no idea why. It's been about 10 years, but I still hear my brother yelling, "Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!" and I still feel bad about it even...
It's probably both: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/selec-trac-with-automatic-transmission-only.2767/
I've also heard that they are worried about someone with a manual doing a hard launch in 4-auto and grenading the thing.
