So a 4 door JK wasnt an option...
...and my family is getting bigger. (July 1st it is expected to grow by 25%) So instead of another JK, I got a WJ. A 2002 Limited with the 4.7L and Quadra-trac. It tows the JK fine for most of our travels, though on hills it needs to be in 2nd/3rd. We redid the suspension on Day 1 with OME HD coils that net 3" around, a set of 5100's, IRO adjustable front track bar, ADDCO big beefy rear swaybar, STILLEN big fat slotted and drilled rotors and programmer yet to be installed. It is my daily driver now, and going to be the family camper that can also haul the JK to and from the trail.

This is why I need the trailer plug!!
!967 U.S. Military Pioneer Tool Trailer soon to be AKA "BASE CAMP 1"
We already converted over the axle to a 8 lug instead of the 5 lug bud and we also converted the tongue over to the A2 military tongue!
More to come on this one!
Sink Stove LED lighting awnings and all the fun stuff that need to go with it!

Damn you Mark! I just ordered the same setup for my 2012. Will also probably look into the Besttop secure drawer for the drivers side (Tuffy's doesn't work on the DS for 11+). So that I can store it when traveling. Will probably stick with my ipod and my ScanGuage2 for now. But this gets the Nav off my Galaxy Note - which is a good thing for the data bill (not that I have to pay it - but that's another story).
I use four apps primarily, and have set up the dock with shortcuts for each one.
Mort Music Player for tunes.
Copilot GPS for road navigation (though they just screwed their premium version customers yesterday with an update, deleting Google text-to-speech and replacing it with a robotic sounding TTS engine behind a $3.00 paywall!).
Torque Pro for monitoring vehicle performance.
Backcountry Navigator Pro for topo mapping, wilderness route planning, guidance and recording.
Here's a video of my install. The sound quality gets pretty poor partway through, but the beginning explains the actual install. If you visit the YouTube page, there are links to a list of parts I used.

Looks like you have to put the tent up on a rack on your JK . Your trailer configuration would make it difficult to open the side doors. Should be OK though, that's where I usually end up putting mine, even though I have a flat lid trailer. I never leave my trailer alone at a campsite. Even if I did, the RTT isn't too top heavy to explore with.
