Default Manual

I typically buy the Haynes manual for every car/ truck that I own bc it's a great reference tool. I have been reluctant to get the one for my JK nc it seems too broad bc it says 87-2011? Have wranglers not changed that much that they can group the manuals for so many years into one? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advanced!

The JK is quite a bit different from earlier Wranglers. I, too, suspect the Haynes manual is not specific enough to be of much help to JK owners.

So, your best options are:
Jeep's JK year-specific service manual on CD, for about $135.

An ALLData subscription for 5 years for about $40. This will give you access to the factory service manual, anywhere you have connection to the internet.

Ron, is that CD still limited to IE 7 or whatever? I wish they'd just put in in a .pdf and sell it. So much easier to read and print and just plain use.

I'm running it on IE 9. The CD is from 2008, and I had to add some program data to make it work after the first IE update.

Have you considered ALLData? It's a good deal, and is the same as the factory service manual.
