So, my surprise was twofold....
1) It came with a "User's Guide" not a Owner's Manual. Had to call an 800 number to get it.
2) Most expensive vehicle I ever bought the dealer didn't/wouldn't fill with gas before I drove it home!!!
I'm up to a whopping 200 miles, and love it!!!

Congrats!
All of those things (except the grab handles) are also on the 2011's.
upwings: That sucks, I drove the salesman to the gas station because he didn't want the lot monkeys to get it dirty before I picked it up lol

From Camp at COP4X4:
Attention all 2012 wrangler buyers. The new motor and computer programing will not allow you as of yet to change the gear ratio of your wrangler, period. Regearing will cause your Jeep to go into limp mode, because it reads diff speed and wheel speed in order to shift gears. Fair warning guys and gals, DO NOT REGEAR YOUR 2012 jeep until further notice.

2011 is identical to the 2012 (powered mirrors, uncrackable ecu, jeep crawling on windshield, bolt storage in back) the only difference between 2011 and 2012 is the motor. My 2011 did come with handles too.

A couple of others I forgot to mention:
There is a "pump" on the drivers frame rail that may interfere with aftermarket bumpers.

The Evap Canister is now covered with a factory plate. I have a PSC skid that I hope to install this weekend.
