UK JK Specs
Just purchased a used 2009 UK (RHD) JK Sports Unlimited. Specs on standard options here seem very different than back home in Upstate New York. This came with the Freedom Hardtop, Air conditioning, Cruise Control, Power windows front and rear, 2.8 CRD, Limited slip, power locks, alarm, lighted entry, H4 headlamps with internal leveling adjusters. Are these standard items for a sport model back in states? The dealer here doesn't seem to know much about what is or isn't standard options here only quotes book and didn't know what limited slip was. It does have the standard Cd/Dvd MP3 stereo system with the sound bar with no Uconnect module.
What it doesn't have is any type of undercoating.
Does all this seem correct?
My first mod is I've ordered a 2" lift kit from Rustys off road.

i'm not sure about later models, but when i ordered my '08 RHD JK here in the states in September of '07, the ONLY things i could choose were color, whether or not it had AC, and that's it! it HAD to be a 2-door, HAD to be automatic, HAD to be hard top, HAD to be the lowest base X model. no tow hooks, hitch, power anything!! ...but i'm not bitter. 
that's ok though. she's growing up before my very eyes!

in '08, the 2-door was the only option with the "U package". (RHD model) i asked the salesman at the time if they (Chrysler) had any plans to make the 4-door RHD available in the future, and he said no. less than a year later i saw one. i wasn't too happy. oh well...

Finally lifted it.
Visited sister in upstate NY and posted lift kit home and installed it first weekend back (wife NOT happy!) Here's what it looks before and after. Still hard to believe how much smaller the tyres look after even a 2" lift kit..... Wonder how wifey would react to new tyres

Can you post the specs for the UK JK with CRD?
I'm curious what the automatic and manual transmissions have for gear ratios.
Also wondering if the available axle ratios are the same as we have here.
