    Looking for feedback on BesTop Trektop NX

    I'm considering replacing my 2004 TJ X with a 2013 JK Sport and I'm considering ordering it with a Hard Top and just pick up a BesTop Trektop NX as my soft top. The reason is because it doesn't require the hardware the standard hard top requires, so removal should be easier when it's time to...

    Thinking about a new Wrangler, need advice

    I'm considering selling my 04 X for a new 2013 Sport and need some advice. There is an option to choose a 3.73 axle ratio over the standard 3.21 ratio for an additional $95.00, I feel this is worth the money, any a thoughts? Second is the the anti-spin rear axle option for an additional...

    Thinking about a 2012 JK...

    It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the Mopar Tow Bar appears to have fixed arms. Where the Blue Ox arms will retract and extend during set-up and lock into place once connected, which really makes hook-up a breeze. The Blue Ox requires the purcahse of a separate Base Plate which...

    Thinking about a 2012 JK...

    I just Googled Mopar Tow Bar and got a number of hits referring to a recall... Hmmm, may want to rethink that option! It appears to be earlier models, 07-08 mostly. Hopefully any issues have been resolved.

    Thinking about a 2012 JK...

    The one I'm looking at has the 3.73 LS rear axle and the tow package, which I like. Do you have a link to the Mopar Tow Bar? I'd be interested in checking it out. We currently use a Blue Ox Tow Bar, but would have to buy a new Base Plate for the 2012, so it may be just as economocal to get...

    Thinking about a 2012 JK...

    Anything I should consider? I have a 2004 TJ w/4.0L and 5 speed, thinking about selling it and getting a 2012 JK 2 door w/manual transmission. Any significant pros/cons to doing this? We use the Jeep primarily as a tow vehicle behind our RV and to run around on weekends, I just really like...

    Bring Back The Jeep Wave

    Hit's hit or miss here in GA, seems the TJ/YJ crowd know and practice the wave, but it seems lost on the JK drivers! I've never had a wave from drivers of other models, beside an occasional Cherokee driver.

    My rear end is out of whack!

    I hadn't thought about flat towing being an issue, I'll have to look at that as well. I am a very conservative drive (apparent by my gas mileage below), so there are no spinning tires! There is no wobble either, so I hope that rules out a bent axle. The Jeep rides smooth and seems to track...

    My rear end is out of whack!

    Jesse, I'm the only driver, amd I'm pretty easy on it. Mostly we use itmformshot trips on weekends to run errands. We have pulled it behind our RV, but it's not under power, so there would be no wheel spinning there. Sway, Will be interested in hearing what you find out about your buddy's...

    My rear end is out of whack!

    Jesse, No, I just bought it June of 2011, it's a 2004 model, and the tire still had the nubs on them when I got it. I have not rotated the tires because I've only had it 6 months, and I don't drive it every day. I'd say I might have put 2,000 miles max on it since I got it. Which is why I'm...

    My rear end is out of whack!

    Yesterday I noticed the rear passenger tire is extremely worn, less than an 1/16" of tread left compared to the two front tires that have over 3/8" of tread. I bought this 2004 Wrangler in June and all four tires looked new (tread was all the same depth). The rear driver's side tire is also...

    Banks Air Ram

    The tube on that Bank's system look to be a larger diameter than the AFE. I like the dry filter on the AFE, wish they made one for the stock airbox...

    mileage

    That probably explains a lot! Mine won't burn the tires, and I certainly don't think it could do 100! I know my engine is 100% stock, which probably explains the difference in gas mileage...

    mileage

    Other than the year of our Jeeps, they seem to be set up pretty much the same. I know mine has fuel injection and electronic ignition and assume you have the carburetor and distributor. When was the last time it had a tune-up and carb adjustment? Seems you should be getting better mileage than...
