Just curious, but does the "X" sticker on my JK stand for anything?

As far as I know, it's just the randomly chosen designation for the base trim Wrangler. That being said, it can be configured with all sorts of goodies available on the higher trims, when purchasing.

JK's have three trims levels, or models. "X" is the base model, "Sahara" is the mid-level, or upper-level pavement pounder depending on who you ask, and the "Rubicon" is the top-level offroader.

all three came with all sorts of options.

It will be gone for 2010, replaced by "Sport".

Sport sounds like something you say after slapping a dude on the butt that just lost a game! Like "good try sport" or on a yota soccer SUV

The most fun though, is when people compliment me on my "Rubicon", and I get to tell them that I built it myself...

Seriously though, I reaally would have liked a front D44 and 4.10's... that's about it, though. Oh and the 4:1 T-Case ratio would be cool.
