A real 2 door Jeep. Cool red color and with selective electronic lockers and BFG's. Let us know how the ride is on the hard road with those BFG's. Back in the day Radial T/A's were nice cushy tires. Nice tread pattern there, not too aggressive.

I did end up ordering a Rubicon JL. Went with the Rubicon due to the bigger tires, 4:10 gears, front and rear lockers, and better axles. Options include the 3.6, 8 speed auto, LED lights, hardtop, and tow package. It isn't rated to tow very much but the tow package gives you four extra electrical connections for adding stuff so it will come in handy at some point if adding lights, winch, etc. We have always owned 2 door Jeeps due to their maneuverability and ease to park. With no kids at home we don't need the room the JLU has. The back seat will be removed as soon as I get the time. We are fortunate enough to also own a Expedition and crew cab Super Duty. I'll pick it up later this week.

I run those KO2's on both my Cummins Rams. Love them. Excellent all around performance without horrible highway drone.

Our JL was supposed to have KO2's but the factory screwed up and put Falken Wildpeaks on her. I was pissed. They have a more aggressive mud tire pattern and I was sure they would be noisy on the highway and likely bad in the snow.

Turned out to be great on the highway and tough as nails offload. They are decent in the snow but terrible on ice. I picked up a second set of wheels and Falkens at a good price from a guy that put a lift and bigger tires on his rig and had them studded. AWESOME!!

I just saw this. Love Joyce's new toy. Great looking and very useful! Do you do anything to protect the paint and windshield when you tow? It's rare in my experience visiting the daughter and family in Eagle River for me to see a vehicle in Alaska without a broken or chipped windshield.

When I picked up my JL yesterday I asked about the Jeep with the hemi. The answer was Jeep has still not finalized the price nor have they built one as of Feb 24th. However rumor mill has pegged it around $75K. MSRP will mean nothing on this model as you can bet dealers will tack on huge ADM's. Personally I see this as an accident waiting to happen on such a short wheel base vehicle with a high center of gravity. But the coolness factor is huge!

Yep. Torque is what moves you up and down the road. Horsepower is maximum full peak horsepower. The latter sells like hotcakes.
