1. Option for adjustable headlights like the export versions.
2. Option for the 5.7L and the 6.1L or even a supercharger...
3. Option for bulletproof Windshield. (Windshield is to brittle!)
4. More Interior\Exterior color options.
5. Skid plate package option from the factory.
6. Option for the Hard Top to be color matched.
7. Loose the "Barbie" bumpers and get some real Heavy Duty ones mounted on there.
8. Better Paint job from the assembly line. To many missed areas through out the body.
9. If you going to build a Jeep and slap a "trail rated" emblem on it STAND behind it if\when the customer arrives at your dealership with something broken. Don't say "Sorry we can't honor that repair. You took it off-road.)
10. Bring back the raised area in the center of the hood. I really miss that!
11. More Gauges... WTF were they thinking when they designed that?

OK this was not that easy to think up. But here's my list.

I'd like a manual transmission that didn't generate that infernal ticking noise that makes me go to the dealer three times to get it fixed. It's there right now and I miss it.

better bumpers
mirrors that don't come off with the doors

They could mount them solid on the fender with a bump stop on the mirror to stop the door when opening, and do away with the door strap.

1. More HP & Torque. Diesel and a V8.

2. Muffler with a bit more rumble.

3. 5 spd auto tranny.

4. Quick release mirrors that easily pop off the door and mount on the a-pillar

5. Reclining back seat.

6. Roof rack built in to the freedom top.

7. Better clearance at the sway bar so you don't need spacers for 33" tires

8. Ability to engage either locker when ever you want

9. flat, recessed area on top of the radio

10. Make the wire harness on the doors easier to reach and disconnect

1. GM, Toyota ect.. all get 260ish hp out of a smaller V-6, comon DC.
2. The intrerior plastic sucks, enough said.
3. 2dr back seat access. The TJ was fine why the change?
4. Lil' bit more 2dr cargo space, 6-8 inches would be great.

Damn, thats all that I dislike about my baby. But I will go on...

5. 49mpg, on the trail, in 4Lo. 89 hwy.
6. Power rear plexiglass window.
7. Oil injectors for the exhaust (smoke-screen)
8. Freezin' ass cold A/C.
9. A "wave" button to make all TJ and earlier jeeps wave at you.
10. Convince all humanity that it is silly not to own a JK. Kinda' like a cell phone.



I bet this thread will go for years!

I would deal with a 20hp drop in the engine and never complain if they would just fix the top. Fookin leeky top makes me angry. I would love to see a diesel though. Maybe clean up some clunks and rattles. Fold and tumble seats on 2 door would rule.

I'll try to avoid repeating any I saw. That doesn't leave much, does it? Anyway:

* Better beam spread on the headlights
* Brighter back-up lights
* An option to buy half doors and full doors
* A coin holder
* All Woods mod's

more options
more horsepower and torque
better exhaust
something to hold doors and gates open so they quit hitting me unexpectedly
nicer interior
a shaker 500 factory sound system or at least something really badass
little orange lights on top of the hardtop would look cool (like trucks)
antenna relocation? -mix it up a bit
