The Haynes Manual that includes the JK's is horrible! Confusing at best because they have 1987-2008 in the same book. (The one I have) When I had my YJ back in YJ times the manual was very good but they have really messed up when they tried to put them all together. JMO

They will upgrade you to the 2011 when it comes out... Its not the Chrysler online database site that you can buy 3 days for $30 or up to a year for over a grand, but for $16 its not bad.

Other than the manuals that you have mentioned there will not be a paperback service manual for the 2011 done by Chrysler. You can buy access to the Chrysler on-lne site for $30 / 3 days up to $1500 / year but thats out of the reach of many.

DIY stated that they will upgrade and change your subscription as soon as the 2011 is available. Its not the factory site, but its better than most Haynes or Chilton manuals out there.

I've used the factory site and its priceless when you need it but very expensive.

Yikes if they don't have 2011 out yet, and all they changed was the interior, how long will the 2012 take...

The Haynes manual is complete garbage. Don't waste your hard earned money.

first i would like to state this is not legal and if a mod chooses to delete this i won't be offended.
if you google Alldata torrent you can find all data for torrent download all over the internet. version 9.9 covers to 2010. not sure if they have released a newer version. but feel free to look.

I agree - The Alldata site is well behind the Chrysler on-line manuals, but for those who cant afford the price of entry I believe its worth the $16 - I have seen them make additions to the 2010 JK over the last several months.

I use the AllData for routine items and have a subscription to Chrysler that I activate when doing the major jobs that require all the details.
