Learned some little tricks off a new forum i joined... jeepgarage.org... they deal more with the WK and WK2 then here and not so much the XJ and ZJ's...
touch the blinker up or down and NOT push and itll blink three times and turn off itself for changing lanes...
hidden compartment under the drivers seat when you move it all the way forward...
little jeep symbol or grill engraved in the halogen headlights and the spare tire hook...
special hidden cubby in the glove box perfect for the manual...
sliding sunvisor instead of a slide out ( i was actually ticked today cause i couldnt block the sun... didnt know it slid... lol)

Also i stuck a cone filter on it... i was going to do it right off the throttle body but theres no room for it so did it like this...
i also removed the rubber seal on the hood that blocked water since i changed the filter around...
and removed another small rubber part that also blocked water from the side...
i left the lower box in and the snorkle tube... reason being is its under the cone filter and i think itll keep it cooler with air blowing from inside the box up and around the filter pushing away hot air from the motor... this is also why i removed the obstructions from open end of the snorkle tube...

Im sure they do... Heck they sell rock sliders... Lol... Theres a few companies that do... But ill never pay $300 for one... Cost to hp and fuel savings isnt near worth it... Ill build my own pipe also when I get back from MN... Leave wed in it for the ride...

760 bucks a month is insane. I don't pay that much for my house. lol
Granted, you probably paid more for that Jeep than I did for my house.
I believe if I was already spending 40k on a car I would have had to spring for the Summit Edition and 4wd. I like the tan leather on the Summit Edition.

The saddle leather is on this one... Summit is just a few more cosmetic things... Nothing worth the money... The jeep your talkin bout u could have got the srt8... And its more the wifes then mine... We rarely get snow and im not taking this pricey of a truck offroad ever... Lol...
You always go and plan to buy one with everything... Until u see the sticker break down on prices for all this stuff... $5k for 4x4 on a truck ill never use it on would be retarded... If the woman wasnt involved I would have got a 4x4 X with regular leather, hemi, and tow... But she wanted the saddle leather and moat the extras... I thought about how much ive not used 4x4 in ny last 4 DD' with it... And we found this one to work... Besides if I wanna go offroad I would just take my superduty XJ... Or my stock MJ... Not this ifs front and rear suspension system... Lol

JEBUS... not horrible for a v8... better than the 13 for the srt...
55 tops for me, & stayin true to the slow lane... people seem to fly past me, but obviously a IFS/multi-link, coil'd rear vehicle, & close to zero road/wind noise, 80 is a lot more comfortable, than the brick on M/T's... i'd rather conserve as much as possible

Buying one of these here in the next couple weeks... ive learned that not being able to use the navigation when in motion SUCKS... it should read your passenger via the airbag sensor so it allows it or something... sucks having to pull over to make any adjustments... but this kit here fixes all that and then some...
makes dvd viewable when driving...
makes navigation changable when driving...
can add tv's in the headrests for kids later and plugs right up to it...
can turn the rear camera on and off without having to be in reverse...
watch satellite TV while in motion if equipped (may have to look into cost of this)
bunch of other stuff listed on the link... not to bad of a price considering all it does and a plug in setup...
