There's a small chance I'll be headed to Toledo this coming weekend (in-laws live there). A)Where is the Nitro Creek yard and B)Can you actually get close enough to see anything/take pictures or is it sealed up tight?
PS, I'm kind of assuming us normal people can't see the finished ones... unless there really is no one from NW Ohio/SE Michigan on these forums willing to run over to the factory/yard.

Saw this on another forum, can Milous or anyone else confirm...
The transmission uses lower gearing so in essence a 3.73 is the equivalent to a 4.10 is an older JK. Going with 4.10's are like running 4.88's in the older JK. The good news is if you are looking to run 35" tires go with 4.10's as you will no longer need to re gear!

Anyone else worried about Chrome wheels for Rubicons?
IMHO Chrome = Tacky!
Milous, can you comfirm what wheels come on the Rubicon, because my build sheet states Chrome wheels:
WFHS 17X7.0 Aluminum Chrome Wheels
WKBP Matching Spare Wheel
WLZC All Aluminum Wheels
Additionally it states my front bumper is painted:
MBAS Painted Front Bumper

Just to clarify this: MultiAir is for gasoline engines. My daily driver has it.
You might be thinking of MultiJet, which is Fiat's high-pressure diesel technology that's now on the 3.0 V6 diesel engine used in the new Grand Cherokee here in Europe.
