As an owner, I was hoping to find other MW3 edition owners.

Let's trade pics and trail stories.

 

You have the short version of mine. I have a matching JKU MW3. I will post some pics soon.

 

Quick question for the MW3 owners... did Jeep add anything to your coils to compensate for sag from the front and rear bumpers?

ie: spacers, different coils, etc.

Thanks,

 

A 2" Mopar lift is optional, but the sag isn't too bad with the new bumpers.

It's just a real shame that they stripped away all the nice features of the AEV gear on it they are calling their own...

 

Yup. I'm pissed about this. Just got my winch mount kit in the mail today ($250). Will be throwing my Warn VR8000S on soon. Hope I don't have any issues with it. I got the S to save some weight. We'll see what the overall sag looks like.

 

I contracted Jeep about an issue..I would LOVE to hear what you think I should say back to them. Read the email chain below

SUPER-TOUGH

Add an available Mopar Winch Mount and one of our Warn? winches for

Brief Description:
Deception in advertising. Disappointed Jeep Owner
Comments:
About three months ago, I purchased a 2012 Jeep Wrangler JKU MW3
edition.
In print, online and through other places I noticed that the Call of
Duty
MW3 version was "Winch Ready". Today I went to purchase a winch and
found out that I need to spend a whole lot more money to make this
front
bumper, indeed "Winch Ready". Through Jeep, I would need to spend $500
plus and through AEV I would have to spend close to $300 to make it
"Winch
ready". Had I known this, I would have purchased a Rubicon and upgraded
things myself. I feel betrayed and lied to. I have been a faithful Jeep
driver for many years. I would like to hear Jeep's response to this as
I
am sure I am not the first owner to address this. Also, I would like to
know what Jeep plans to do to make these owners happy? Thanks you!
David Clarksville, TN

 

Another MW3 edition here...
Also not happy with the lack of complete information on "winch ready".

 

Coreyz. Check you window sticker...if it says "winch ready" you have a case. If it says "winch capable" or are screwed as Jeep changed the terminology on later stickers. Some have recieved free oil changes and winch plates because of the poor wording!

 

Just checked my sticker and I'm only 'winch-capable"

On the bright side, I'm going to go with the Teraflex 2.5 (w shock adapters) and picking out my wheels and tires this weekend.
