I have not looked for one because I don't see where it would be beneficial to run a 180 degree thermostat in the JK.

Me either, I wasted my time doing that with my Ranger. Not a single noticeable gain from it.

Im not sure if you have an Autozone near by or not but they do carry a 180 degree thermostat for the JK. As far as it being beneficial I do not know anyone who has made the change over yet, but I know in the older JEEPS it helped out. You also need to remember that if you have a programmer you can have your cooling fans come on sooner too. Good Luck.
