I have had my JT Rubicon since May 24 and have put over 5000 miles on it with several long trips with two Elementary age children. It should be ideal as an everyday driver, however, I have to have Bluetooth / hands-free to make work calls. There is a real issue with hands-free/Bluetooth. It...
Coming from a lot of Tacomas, currently a 04 lifted Tacoma CrewCab on 33s, and a 13 JK sport 2door on 35s, the handling was in the middle between the two, which is not great. My JK was a white knuckler anything over 40.

That being said, it...
Nothing really, the road noise is mainly because of wind due to the "Wrangler" shape.
The Falken Wildpeak A/T's are really quiet.
FWIW, I barely notice it most of the time, unless on the expressway.
It's subtle, but the hardtop liners do reducenoise and insulate a bit. I only have the liners on the front of my hardtop and frost/ice melts much faster over the rear of the hardtop. They also change the feel of the interior, when you effectively replace the white roof with the black liners...
