Default Thanks To JK-Forum!!!

Hey Gents,

I was lucky enough to find just what I was after at the dealership last Saturday, struck a deal, and will be taking delivery of my 2013 Wrangler Unlimited Freedom Edition this coming Saturday. Since I found the car two days ago I have been searching all over the place for the parts I wanted and kept ending up back on this forum for the advice and vast knowledge of the JK owners on this forum. Thanks to all of your input I think I will be more than happy with all of my purchases.

In the next couple days I will be receiving a few orders from Quadratec. Here is a list of what I ordered and will follow up on Saturday with photos of all of my installations in progress/completed.

-Banks Power Stainless Steel Monster Exhaust
-Banks Power Ram-Air Cold Air Intake
-KC HiLiTE SlimLight 130w Fog Lights
-Windshield Mounting Bracket for Fog Lights
-Quadratec/Kicker Sound Bar Speaker Upgrade
-Mopar/Kicker In-Dash 6.5" speaker upgrade
-Hurst Brushed Aluminum T-Shape Shift Knob

Thanks again for all of the advice/experience I found on this forum, I look forward to contributing and benefiting from this great community.

Welcome to the forum from North Carolina.

I would suggest you drive it 1K miles and then decide if you need a programmer. The 3.6 is a little peppier than the 3.8. You may be able to divert tha t money to lift, tires and wheels!!

X2 . . . . After 1,200-1,500 miles my engine started to perform better.
Personally I would wait on the performance mods at least a couple of thousand miles just in case you start having any powertrain issues on your new jeep, you wouldn't wanna void your warranty or give Chrysler any reason to hassle you on a repair. It happened to me after 2,000 miles or so I had the engine ticking, luckily I hadn't put on any performance mods that would be a question to my engine problems and have any repairs denied . . . .just my

Congrats on the new Jeep !
