I can dig it, especially the flag decals are cool.

The Gladiator bed was the perfect size to haul my dual sport bikes, as well as all the various HGTV type stuff I may throw back there. However, I was on the fence to get a 2 door JL Wrangler with a small trailer, which would've worked as well. It's a trade-off, like most things in life.

Why are tires and wheels each listed as 2 line items? To make the list look longer, or are there actually 2 options for each in this package?

Honestly I would say getting a soft top and sunshade has been the biggest quality of life upgrade for mine. Hard to beat cruising in the sun and fresh air.

If they put in longer LCA's then I could see it. I noticed the extra caster even with mine leveled and it is nice. Outside of that or shocks, I dunno.

Ironically got my first duck just recently, on new years eve actually. I don't to give up the cool mohawk duck so I'll probably order some to share the love.

Manual windows and locks were part of the reason I got my Willys Sport. I think it's awesome you can still get them, for now at least.

I've got a small list of upgrades to do, but overall extremely happy with mine. It's crude, simple, reliable, hauls whatever I need, and doesn't get stuck. As long as it doesn't need to go back to the dealer, then it's doing a good job in my book.

I'm all about never having to go back to a dealer and dealing with Joe ServiceManager after initial purchase.

Agreed. And no manual, no naturally aspirated engine.

Well done handling it. This is the reason I avoid dealers at all costs. I would've ended up playing their game and asking for specifics on how they're recalibrating my steering and brakes, until it became obvious they have no specifics. Your way was more efficient though.

I wonder if it would still provide decent sunlight with my shade installed. I'm guessing so if it's similar light to having the top off. Looks cool for sure.

I've never ridden in the standard soft top, but I bought a premium from a member here and I am extremely impressed. It's very close to the hard top in terms of noise.

In my personal real world experience (manual trans), 3.73 makes 6th gear too tall for the available torque/power of the 3.6L, such that in any headwind or uphill condition (or any other situation that requires changing speed), you have to step into it or downshift, and lose any mpg advantage...

Got my first duck on NYE and got my Teraflex leveling kit put on with the Mopar LCA's. Even with the 1.5" lift, pretty sure I can feel some of the extra caster with a little heavier feel in the steering.

If the only options are more complicated and less serviceable (I don't like being dependent on a dealership if at all possible), I'd stick with the 3.6 and give it a little gear as a partial remedy for not having a bigger motor. Of course a V8 would've be the correct solution from the...

Interesting and good to know, which model clutch are you having put in?

Exactly. My statement applies to any given starter, with its specific number of cycles before failure. That statement has no bearing on my original statement. If you can show me that using ESS on a vehicle/starter increases X by a factor compared to not using ESS on that same...

Yes, that is taken into account, when stating: "Your starter has X cycles before it fails. The more you cycle it, the sooner it will fail." This statement applies, whether or not you're referring to a recently designed starter (with or without ESS), or a starter that was designed in the 70s.

You're responding with emotion. I didn't say anything that was laughable. Please state what I said that was wrong.
