Dat's de way we talk down down hare in da sout, AIYYYEEEH!!

 

OH, ok. Just so long as you understand that those JK decals are not optional, they are MANDATORY!

 

The tint on the "S" package is deep sunscreen aka dark. At least that's what my sticker says, but it was one of the first '08's due to the three month wait on our ordered '07 , then DC cancelled the order and reordered as '08.

edit:
I just spent some time looking at jeep.com and it's very confusing. From their pictures, I can't tell the difference between premium cluster and what is in mine. I couldn't really tell if there was a trim color or not. Is there any way you can look at some in person at the dealer?

 

See, thats what I was most confused about. Not that it matters, cause I can just have the hardtops windows tinted, but Ive seen pictures of some X's with nontinted/really light tinted back windows, then some with the darker tinted back windows.

 

Deep tint is an option. Non Deep Tint is standard. Read the option sheet.

 

Bingo I selected that option when I ordered

 

I dont get how you select that option off Jeeps build your own option on 08s?

 

I am not sure how it is with you yanks overthere, but in Europe ( I live in the middle east but have the european spec JK overhere)

There is a big diffrence with the sport and the sahara that is the gear is diffrent
3.2 for the X and my Sahara 4 door auto has a 4.21?

My 4.21 is very comfy with 33 inch tyres without any gear changes, the X however.....

So tell me is that the same in the states , should people not take that is consideration????

Ron, check around on some of the other threads for gearing issues. When I ordered my Sahara here stateside, there were only two options: the 3:21 (stock), or the 3.73, which comes only with the trailer tow package, which I ordered. So it does seem different here-to-there . . .

Regarding the instrument cluster, Jeep and other vendors sell replacement facia kits. As someone else here noted, you can REALLY dress up an X-model with a few cheap mods.

What you CANNOT easily do is change that X / Sahara stock front axle from a Dana 30 to a Dana 44. And THAT, in my opinion, is why the Rubicon model is so popular, to whit: the hardcore off-road enthusiasts need that D44 front axle. And the Poseurs and Pavement Princesses want that "RUBICON" emblem on the hood.

I'll be happy with 33" tires and a 2.5" BB. And I'll only flex my suspension five or six times a year. So I bought the Sahara. BUTTT . . . Anyone who puts a 4" lift and 35" tires on an X or Sahara stock axle - and then does SERIOUS rock-climbing with it - is asking for trouble.

That's the problem with the Jeep website, even my dealer wasn't familiar with all the options. Very Confusing. But the 24C comes without deep tint and the only way (on the website) to get the deep tint is to add 24S which comes with leather wheel, compass/temp/trip meter and all the other goodies.

edit:
There is another thread "Why no tint" or something like that. I think they addtess some of the same issues. As far as the gauge cluster, sounds like the concensus is: if you have the 24S on the X, it will be the exact same as the Saraha minus the silver trim thing.

I'll look at my window sticker tonight and see exactly what is involved in the 24S package, if anyone is interested, we can compare and see if it is still the same now. As I said before, they cancelled my '07 & reordered as '08. It seems to be a hybrid between '07 & '08 advertized option packages. For example, we opted for no tow package (DOH). Auto was available with 3.23:1 but when it arrived as it was 3.73:1 which wasn't even a 2007 option.
