1. What the heck is ECO mode ? it pops up on the dash when I'm on the Hwy.
Computer looks at rpm, gear, and throttle position and tells you when you're driving "economically". You can turn it off - I think it's one of the personalized settings, but can't check at the moment.

I wonder if the new sterring wheel with all the control can be install in a 2010 Rubi ?

Wow the interior looks like it belongs to a Jeep WJ versus a JK. I'm sure some of the controls come in handy for the long drives but I'm thinking off road I hate them.

That doesn't quite look the same as my TJ. I will try to post pics tomorrow for comparison.

Its very similar to my TJ, it doesn't go quite as far upward but its very close, but really the point here is that it DOES have fold and tumble.

No, it tumbles up and over, its obviously not easy to show in a pic but it does it.

Dude. I'm not bitching. Read the thread one more time. this is one of the most interesting comment of the year about the JK

And what's next? IFS suspension? You really want that the Jeep becomes like a Range Rover or an Escalade?

AGAIN, there was no need to address that thread, I've read it and posted also... it is off topic. The topic you refer to is BS, we don't know what will happen and why waste time bitching about something we have no control to change? The group of die-hard 4x4er's on this fourm are only a small group of JK owners as compaired to the rest of JK owners. So who do you think Jeep is going to design for? So, the topic you refer to has nothing to do with CLOTAGAMES and his 2011 first impression. This thread is about changes made to the 2011s and not speculation of future changes.
