Hi there, I am looking at possibly buying a JL. What a cool vehicle! Question for the forum & looking for your expertise -
Is it better to purchase the factory softtop option or go aftermarket? Aftermarket seems to be much less $$$ than factory. If aftermarket what are some good ones to consider?
Same thing for bimini/bikini tops, what is a good one out there?
And lastly, I'd love to get a tow hitch, and I've found a beauty JL equipped with factory tow option. Again, is this option worth the cost? I don't plan on towing a lot of weight, ie maybe 1000lbs, nowhere near the tow capacity (have a truck for that). I'm assuming the tow package comes with a cooler? Is this a trans cooler? Brief look online I've been able to find hitch receivers pretty cheap too and thinking it may meet my needs. Wiring may be a bit of a pain but oh well.
Mudflaps - go with dealership offer or mopar parts? I'd love to have something that looks like what's typically mounted on rally cars.
Thanks! Hopefully I'm a new JL owner, we're not 100% decided but damn near close. Cheers!
Edited to include picture of the one we're thinking about - I can't stand the thought of a dirty vehicle but wow I think it looks great in black!
