Traded my '11 in for my dozer yellow '12 about a month ago. Absolutely loving it! Wanted the 3.6 for my daily driving, hoping I don't get the dreaded cylinder problems but doesn't change the smile on my face when I drive it.

Traded my '08 in May. Now have over 4,000 on my '12. So glad I changed!

I put my lift and tires on this past weekend. Now its time to start shopping for a new bumper! but first I'll have to get rid of the old tires

Just broke 6k miles too! Time for a second oil change.

Picked up in Feb, have 6k on it now and just started to get better than 16mpg on the highway. My problem is massive water leaks in the hardtop, they have it again for the fourth time trying to fix. Thats why I got a hardtop JKU.

I purchased my 12 the same night my father bought his. He has 3k more miles on his than I do mine... I got a chance to drive his the other day and it felt like his engine had a lot more get up then mine did. Anyone see any improvements after 6k miles? I felt some big changes between 3k and 6k... just wondering if I'm still breaking the engine in.

I'm not there quite yet but there have been a number of posts indicating that over 5k you feel more power. Looking forward to it!

Nice... I hope so. I was impressed with how well he could accelerate in 6th gear. I kept having to downshift into 5th in mine.

I ordered mine in January and picked it up in March. Four months and 3,000 miles so far. Only issue is the right rear shock started leaking. Getting it replaced next week. Other than that, I love it!

I'm still having to downshift too. I only have about 2,100 miles on mine in a month and a half. I've also noticed that the start out of each gear is slow until it hits about 1.5K RPM and then you get pulled into the seat from the acceleration.
