  1. Congrats to Chrysler!

     

    Considering the crappy interiors as recently as MY 2011/12, I look forward to seeing how the new models age. I trust that a lot of the Chrysler quality/reliability issues of the past are well behind them.

     

    Minus the typical Wrangler suspension issues like ball joint and tie rods. Overall, vast improvement over days of old.

  2. jeeps were cool in high school. cruising at the beach with the doors off, top off, etc. if you're not going to do that, or not going to off-road it, then they are just plain garbage. we had one for 60k miles, bought brand new, all the options, etc etc---it was the biggest piece of shit i've ever driven.

     

     

    The new JK's (2012+) are a big departure from the Jeeps of old. I even have soccer mom's buying Jeeps and lifting them. Bang for buck, it's hard to match it's capability off road. (Speaking of off the show room floor SUV) What's odd is the resale value the new Jeeps hold.

    35's you'll have to remove the front air dam, maybe flat fenders. I had 35's for mine and didn't want to fight with everything to make em fit so i'm dropping back to 33's.

     

    My advice, if you go Rubi take offs, get a whole set with tires and TPMS unless you have a specific tire size or brand in mind. I got a set of the newer Rubi wheels for $200 but finding tires hasn't been very successful. I would have been WAY ahead of the game spending the $600-1000 for a full set with tires and TPMS as opposed to buying everything separately.

     

    Let me know if you need anything, I work for TransAmerican aka 4 Wheel Parts and 4WD.com. We do about 6-10 JK's a week, on top of fixing 5-7 JK's a week.

    Stock suspension, yes. But for $520, we sell our ProComp 2.5" kits. Don't get any easier than springs, shocks, and dropping the sway bar. If you have the coin, do a Rubicon Express Superflex with Monotubes. Not only is it a short arm kit, but rides way better than a stock JK. I may pick up a commando green Rubi, but I'd probably just lift it and flip it. There's awesome resale value in a modded JK. You could never see tha kind of return in a car. Ever.

  5. Just put a deposit on a 2013 Sport with auto, A/C (how is this not standard?), hard top, connectivity group (bluetooth/satellite radio and schtuff). Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up Thursday.

     

    I really wanted a Sport S and 3.73 axle ratio but this had MOST of what I wanted, and I didn't have to order it. Plus I got a pretty decent price since it's a 2013. I looked up prices of the Sport S wheels/tires on message boards and they're really cheap, Rubicon wheel/tires are pretty cheap too. People seem to just take them off as soon as they get their new Jeep, so I'll make that my gain. The 3.21 should be good enough for tires that size, if I decide to go big (35's or something) in the future, I figure I'll want 4.10's anyway.

     

    So not EXACTLY what I wanted, but pretty darn close, and cheaper too. This is my first brand new vehicle, so I'm pretty pumped. Thanks everyone for the input!

     

     

    If you roll 35's you'll need 4.88's. 4.10's are a waste of time in a JK, even with the 3.6 and some bolt ons. A 2.5" kit will clear 35's no problem, with room to articulate.

  6. Looked at a pof,lwrc,and a lmt all are really nice but idk I like them all dont know what way to go

     

    What's the intention of this rifle? You plan to smoke up thousands of rounds? You like flexibility of calibers? How cool do you want to be? Are you a noob?

  7. Have you all learned that neither of them give a shit about any of this or us, it's about elections....

     

    I mentioned this before. ACA is so awesome, the politicians trying to pass it won't even abide by it. I care less for either side of the isle. The idea of "the greater good" sure didn't work so well under Communism. More government = more problems
