Hmmm does developing a wild hair, taking your lifted, wheeled and tired 2012 JKU Sport, and trading it in on a 2013 JKU Rubicon in COMMANDO GREEN count???? Just wondering, cuz I did just that. Best buying experience ever but not too happy with the service dept. Who, by the way are on their third day(with their PROFESSIONAL mechanics) transferring a bumper, winch, onboard air, and ACE rocksliders, which minus the sliders took my brother and I a day to do and we included a body lift. Feeling a little worried right now about ever having any service done at this dealership.


P.S. It is possible that pics may soon follow....

It doesn't matter what engine you have, its about the right gearing

Congrats on the CG JKUR! First mistake was letting the "professional mechanics" touch your parts. They know diddly squat about aftermarket stuff, most of which they've never seen. I pulled all my crap off in about 4 hours in the lot behind the dealership. Hell, last night I removed an ARB bumper and installed a stock one in 2 hours by myself. Three days for them is ridiculous... they're not charging you by the hour are they?
Hope you get your new baby soon.

Modified and tested my princess auto cargo carrier. I had to cut and weld an extension to clear my spare tire

Nothing major. I added the Drake Off Road Billet Shift and 4WD knobs. I love the feel of these things over the plastic OEM knobs.

Looks great. Was the 4x4 shifter difficult to remove?

It was easy. I carefully pried the top and bottom sections of the OEM shift knob loose with a flat blade screwdriver and then pulled real hard to get the rest of the knob off. Wiggling it back and forth as I pulled seemed to help.
