2012 2dr Sport here! Just cracked 1000 miles. Hearing a rattle coming from somewhere near the passenger side, glove box area though. Anyone else have this?

Great thread, thanks for starting it up Maverick. I can't believe how much more power there is, and what a change in almost every way from my 2010 (built in '09). I've got just about 1,000 miles on it in two weeks (that wasn't planned, I've been making 160 mile round trips to visit my mom after she decided none of us had enough excitement in our lives so she broke her hip).

Here's to the class of 2012 :beer::beer:

Here they are Jkbender, I just pulled them off scuffed the wheels with scotch brute and used a few cans of advantage flat black noir mat that I picked up from a local car paint store. I've had them done for three months now and have not got any chips in them I put three coats on them

No rattles here and I'm pushing about 2100 miles now. Driver's seat does creak a little but I don't want to even begin to guess where the cause of that sound is coming from!!! GRIN

I just picked up a silver 12 - 4 door this past weekend. It rides so much different than my 99 TJ I had years ago. It is a year old with 14k on it. It is a hard top which is also new to me.

I will likely get one of the frameless soft tops in the near futuer for when it's not 100 plus or winter. Yeah I know. But it is a daliy driver and gotta tote the kids around.

Plan on lift, wheels and tires, bumpers, and other mods in the future.

Was looking at slightly older ones but the increase in Hp in 12 made it that much more appealing.

Maybe a dumb question but did you remove the tires first?

Thanks... Looks great. Now I just need to get mine done.

G'day Maxim. Welcome to the forum and the family. When you mentioned the "Renegade" package, it confused me because that hasn't been available here in the states for a couple of years now. Also, you mentioned having a hard and soft top; over here that package is the "dual top option". As for the back seat in the 2 door, I've always joked that only people without legs can sit back there.

Again welcome, hope you can find a good group of people around Sydney to go wheelin' with.

G'day Wendy! Thanks! That's what the guy at the dealership called it, "the renegade package". I guess he just used the old term for the Hard top + soft top + side steps + bigger wheels + better stereo + connectivity group package deal for the sport model. Or we are indeed a few years behind here in Oz and do really have the "renegade" package :)

I actually had 3 people at the back recently, all with legs, some on high heels.. it's amazing what people are ready to get through just to get a ride in a Jeep.. :)
